More EA Games reviews , RRP: TBA

The good:

  • Racing and wrecking is as thrilling as ever
  • Open-world design creates a great sense of destructive freedom
  • Showtime mode is a hoot
  • Online functionality is seamless and addicting
  • Superb visuals

The bad:

  • Could have used more variety in race and event types
  • Soundtrack and DJ dialogue are awful
  • Early in the game, you'll probably be a little confused and overwhelmed by the whole thing

The bottomline:

Burnout Paradise includes all the fast-driving, hard-wrecking action you'd expect from a Burnout game, but with a fantastic new open-world design that gives it its own stand-alone flavor.
