almost but just missed the cut
User Rating: 8 | Burnout Paradise PS3
burnout paradise is a surprisingly a good game but it has its flaws. the open world is a awesome addition and should be mandatory for future burnout titles. every game has it flaws. this burnout title doesn't have that many but the few that it has can actually ruin the gameplay. crashing cars is all what burnout is about. but when you just very lightly hit a car or a wall you immediatley become wrecked. in real life that what happens, but video games are supposed to break those rules and not be real life or if it was why don't you just do the real life thing? anyways this crashing can become very frustrating while racing. just a slight bump from a car and boom your gone. luckily you don't need to pay for repairs to your car. accesbility to racing is great just go to the icon on the map and click L2 and R2. one addition that should have been added was a GPS. or even just a icon to point out which direction to go. paradise city is humongous and it can become frustating clicking select at every turn to find your way. a tutorial mode would have been very much welcomed. as it would been eaiser to find out how to go into showtime mode. car customization would have made burnout a definite 10. while its not real car manufactors choosing different rims or sizes just gives your car a special feeling. other than that its a great game and should be considered for any car racing fans but if you don't like over crashing then this game may not suit you.
