Old Burnout Games were awesome, Burnout Paradise was not. It was the first game that came out on PC and I was hyped, but it was different and not enjoyable. After seeing the first promotional videos for this, I realized that Criterion is simply using EA to boost their popularity, because this is a Burnout Paradise with Need For Speed brand added to it. This game is weak - cop chases are ridiculously hard, car handling is bad and you can't have fun - the game is just one big mess for people who just like to depend on luck, rather than a little skill and creativity!
You don't need much game-play of this to realize that it's a huge disappointment. Mostly, whenever I hear a semi-computerized/just boring woman voice telling me how great the game is, I instantly know that it's going to be a slap in my face with a brick!
