Remember when you were a kid and on christmass day you came down stairs to find a brand new tyco car set was under the tree and you could not wait to set it up and let loose with cars racing upside down, climbing up walls & crashing into each other. Well if thats you then what are you waiting for go buy this game! This is the game the makers of Midnight Club have been promising us for years & has never come to pass. With Burnout Paradise you get a incrediably fast, beautifully looking crashtastic racer that flys by at a silky 60 fps. As a added bonus this all takes place in a incredablie massive and detailed city, more like a county than a city. Once you get past the start menu thats it goodbye menu's hello open world racing. Want to invite people into play with you push right on the d-pad controller flick off a invite and within a few seconds they are in the game. Up to 8 gamer's can join a party & then it's entirely up to you on what to do & explore. You can set up start points and end points if you would like to race or you and your friends can take on over 350 challenges and try to complete them either cooportively or competivily. Completing some will unlock acheviements or unlock some of Paradise Citys hidden secrets. I have talked two people into buying this one and both have told me this is one of there best games for the Xbox. Also if you have played the demo do not I repeat do not form a final opnion of this game based on that experiance. I really do love the Burnout series I consider Burnot 3 to be the best game this series has had to offer up till the release of Paradice I can say the demo does not give a proper repersentation of the final game. There is just so much to do inside of this package and this is one game people should own. -Stu- My Xbox Live Gamertag Chic N Stu.

Gameplay ------ Plus - Controls are pretty good, doesnt really differ from any other traditional racing games. - The idea of an open world is sick. You have total freedom of going anywhere you want when you want.... Read Full Review
