    The beginning is still as fun as a kick in the shin, but after that it just becomes a wondrous playground, and perhaps most crucially in light of the misery that is modern open world racers, one that just lets you get on with it. And now it’s slightly prettier, and runs in a window! Hurrah!

    Bad graphics, 60fps lock. I honestly think this game is a joke there aren't really any improvments to the old game.

    I've got to be honest. When I heard Burnout Paradise was being remastered, I had the same excitement as I did 10 years ago. I was 13 at theI've got to be honest. When I heard Burnout Paradise was being remastered, I had the same excitement as I did 10 years ago. I was 13 at the time and Burnout Paradise was an amazing experience for me then, I was hooked for weeks. I was in love with the world, with the cars, with the soundtrack. It was an amazing experience. But it dawned on me, maybe I wouldn't enjoy it, 10 years later after all, I did everything there is to do, I had all the achievements, and spent even more time after that, just driving around and replaying races.

    Anyway, I decided to take the plunge for the sheer nostalgia alone and what a great choice it was, all the memories I had from playing it as a 13 year old boy came flooding back and I can say that I'm hooked again. The start is a little slow but most games are. Once you're into it, you'll be glad you took the chance. The cars handle like a dream, the impact engine is glorious and now, with updated graphics, running the game on max settings 1080p at 60fps, the experience is so much better. If you're on the fence, I urge you to take a chance. You won't regret it. A controller is recommended.

    Runs Perfectly on my system

    I understand giving higher notes for the console versions as they upgraded from 720p to a 4K presentation.

    But for PC the upgrade is so minimal that it is barely noticeable. A very minor upgrade in texture quality, better anti-aliasing (that you already could do in the old version with GPU drivers options but I guess it is fine to have it in menu options) and nothing else. Same gameplay, same resolution and frame-rate (60fps), same graphical options.

    The worst part is that gameplay-wise the game is exactly the same as the original (Burnout Paradise Ultimate) but they didn't provide a way to import the save or buys (so you have to start from scratch even if you had de original). As far as I see they should have made them share the savefile and bought content (the game is exactly the same).
    And even worse is what they did with the on-line play. After releasing this version they closed servers for the original forcing you to buy again the game in this "remastered" version if you want to have on-line options.

    So sad and money-graby.

    I still give it a 6 because the game is great fun to play. If you never played the original or another burnout this is a good example of what burnout is all about...
    But if you have the original for PC and don't care for online play (the game is still fun in offline mode) I don't recommend the buy...    … Full Review »
