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.
