Try out the demo.

It takes some time getting used to the setup but its fun.

Remember this while playing the demo: Every traffic light in the full game is an event/race. There are only 3 events that aren't locked in the demo.

Yeah, I've played the 3rd one and 4th one (Takedown and Revenge) and loved them both. Have them both for the regular XBOX.

very, very different from previous burnout games, and infinitely more frustrating. if you're a completist, you'll be spending alot of time with this game.

I just got it off of Ebay for $34. It's a ton of fun, and I've only played it for about 2 hours!

I don't have it but I played it and it was great fun, the demo supposadly was bad and the video review says it all. I will check it out once it's 30-40 bucks.

HELL YES (caps, thats right i did it) Burnout paradise is sick. The demo does it no justice but dont expect a cake walk once u get past your A license, it gets HARD. Online is B-A and so K-A, getting 7 friends in your game is the best party EVER.

Burnout 3 is the best Burnout, but Paradise is a great game in it's own right. It lacks a little variety with the events but it is very addictive just driving around the city and finding hidden things, shortcuts, and the driving is tight as always and very fast. If you like Burnout you won't go wrong with this game.

It's a great game, but it's repetitive. You find yourself doing a lot of the same stuff, but there's lots of chance for discovery and the online play is pretty cool. It takes a lot of time to get the Elite License and the online challenges, but I think it's very entertaining. Get it!

It's not as good as "Take Down". You can't turn off the wrecks so if you're going full throttle and crash you have to sit through 10 seconds of slow motion crashing which can suck big time.
