User Rating: 8 | Burnout Paradise X360
First let's talk about the good. The graphics are good that get better the faster you go. The crash cam can sometimes be really cool to see your car get pummeled into a box. Cool way to get new cars, where you have to take them down before you can own them. Theres a great feature where you can repair your car during an event which somewhat helps. A new "Showtime" game mode adds fun to the game (basically a newer updated version of "crash" mode in previous Burnouts). The sound effects are also great, along with an okay selection of songs. When not doing an event, the free roam feature is a fun way to get around.


Now let's talk about the flaws. The free roam feature is still in effect when doing an event which gets very annoying because now there are no arrows blocking the wrong way and you must find the correct way to the finish the race yourself. The direction system is a flaw I find most frustrating because even though it tells you where to go, it tells you to turn when you're about 100 ft. from the turn and since you're going so fast, you usually miss the turn. There's no retry button, so now you must either finish the race all the way on the other side of town even when you have no possible chance of winning.

Although I have gone through all these side effects listed in my review title, I would still have to say that this game is fun and with it's price lowering, its a decent buy. I still say that the previous Burnout's are better though.
