Burnout Paradise is the latest addition to EA's much-loved arcade racing series and the first one to implement a free-roaming city race-track. Welcome to Paradise City, a utopian society for high-speed street racing.

From our review:

"No longer are you restricted to select circuits or point to point races with a handful of short-cuts, you're literally given a populous city complete with traffic and the option to take any route you wish to reach your destination. Sure this isn't an entirely new concept for the arcade racer, the likes of Need for Speed and Midnight Club have played on a similar idea, but the experience has never been this seamless..."

Burnout Paradise is a must-see for any arcade racing fan, find out all the finer points in our in-depth review right here on AusGamers.

Getting the demo for this now - I kind of missed the Burnouts after Burnout 2, but this one sounds awesome

Burnout 3 was the shizzle, after playing Burnout Paradise, it probably won't have the same impact though if you hadn't played it previously.

I haven't touched burnout ever since I played burnout (the first one) on ps2 and thought it was absolute rubbish. From what it seems they got a hell of a lot better in successor versions.

if you check out the other burnout paradise thread .. you'll see a fair few people are happy with it. ^_^

if you havn't played it yet. you should!
