By far the best of the burnout series. Extra kudos on an awesome port.
Graphics - The graphics are nicely customizable, and at max settings on 1440x900, the game looks very crisp and jagged-free, lovely car reflections, shadows, environment and all that other junk. Although I never played Burnout Paradise on other consoles, I have compared screenshots and thus believe that the graphics on the PC are even "better" than the consoled versions. (10/10)
Gameplay - Now what is Burnout without their infamous crashing mechanics. Nothing of course. But holy smokes, they have REALLY done a nice job on Burnout Paradise. You are actually allowed to cruise through an open world, crashing into almost anything? Its absolutely fantastic, and kept me entertained for the first few hours. Of course there's also all the other junk such as racing, crashing, time limits and so on. My point is, Burnout Paradise did an exceptional job at making this game damn fun. (10/10)
Sound - Who can forget the notorious EA track that seems to come in all of their racing games? Of course I consider it a lousy excuse for not making some original music work, but regardless they do have some good tracks. And of course, the SFX of all the crashing, explosions, all that junk is superb as always. (8/10)
Fun Factor - This is a question that I have to ask; Who in the world, that loves the racing genre, does NOT love the Burnout series? I feel sorry if you don't, but of course I am only referring to racing fans. But in my opinion, my very sole opinion, I love this game more then any other racing games TO DATE. That is correct, I consider it more fun then Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which is a very bold thing to say indeed. I just can't resist all the crashing, chaos, and explosions. It's like a sandbox toolkit for making your very own Armageddon my friends. But trust me, once you play Burnout Paradise on PC, or whatever other console, you'll know exactly what I mean. (10/10)
