Burnout Paradise may be hard to get use to at first, but if you are a fan of the series go ahead and buy.

User Rating: 9 | Burnout Paradise X360
The last two burnout series, this one and revenge added new game-play features that kinda left their fans a bit hesitant at start. With revenge, the traffic check which turned to be quite fun was at first a suicide of realism.

Now Burnout paradise has arrived and at first the open end real world driving experience is astounding.

Pros:
To start the game and just drive burnout style at your free will is something I think the series needed.The crashes are an upgrade worthy of its own game. Everything slows down to give you unique car crunching experience.
Get a race started and enjoy the carnage that ensues as you and a handful of other drivers tear up each street you blaze through to reach the finish. Marked man is an awesome addition. The sound effects in this game are great you can hear metal crunching and tires squealing on the turns. As well you can hear many audible noises during the race that wraps you in the experience. Graphics are definitely a solid gold medal.

Cons:
The navigating takes a lot to get use to. The long races that you do in the beginning of the game fail for taking the wrong turn on memory lane. Driving for hours memorizing streets is not a bad idea. Not being able to select a race on the map instead of driving to them can at times be tedious, especially when it's a burning lap. The soundtrack this time around is not all that great. An attempt to reach a wide genre it actually hurts the racing experience. for the first time I had to edit songs I hate from the play list.

This Burnout does everything the fans ask for. Have a race, tear the streets, crash and turn to the finish line while listening to your favorite music all in one game. It's quite a paradise..
