    It's a shame that this is the Burnout game that EA decides to remaster. It still feels like Burnout at times and it can be fun, but the open world gameplay just doesn't suit the Burnout series at all. The city looks bland and all races feel the same (gone are the days of racing maps like Winter City).

The city looks bland and all races feel the same (gone are the days of racing maps like Winter City). There are no dedicated race courses, the game tells you to go from point A to point B on the map, which means you constantly have to look at your minimap even in races, which absolutely counters what Burnout should be about. Add to that the missing splitscreen and traditional crash mode and you get one of the weakest games in the series.… Expand

    Burnout Paradise was a good game when it was released, but it still feels too soon for a remaster. I don't feel nostalgic about it yet at all. Maybe my perception of time is different than these developers; especially Nintendo since they re-release a year old game every other month.

    A semi-ok arace racer if you can pick it up at about 20 USD.

    * Crappy music, hope you like listening to avril lavinge "hey hey you you! I dont like your girlfriend!" tired guns n roses track and similar garbage * Fair driving - its an arcade racer, the handling is ok I would say. The game does have a good way of making you feel like your going really fast which is nice in an arcade    A semi-ok arace racer if you can pick it up at about 20 USD.

    * Annoying open-world design - drive around to find a race instead of using a menu, to be told you already did that race before and have to skip it by "standing still for a while". Some races requires you to have different car classes - how do you switch? Drive to a "wreck place" to choose cars, instead of using a menu. This was a BAD game design choice which is probably the most infuriating part of this whole game.
    * Awful mini-map where you cant set waypoints and no indicator when in race where your suppose to go - another reason why open world was a poor choice for this racer. I dont like to have to look at a map to figure where Im suppose to go in a racing game. There should be only ONE way. Here, you need to switch paths at certain intersections and if you miss it (which is really easy cause there is no in-game indication of where to go either) you can just as well restart. Infuriating to say the least.
    * Graphics are pretty nice, but nothing that will directly wow you.
    * In-game sound of cars are also quite nice.

    For the original price, 40 USD, I would have been pissed with this game. For 20 USD I guess it gets a pass as a "fair game" but not more than that. I honestly wish I had spent my money on something else, the open world design is just what really does it in for this game. Buy something else    … Expand

    Fun to play arcade racer. Earlier Burnout entries were a bit better, but still totally worth your time, especially now it's on PS4.

Una legendaria saga de videojuegos de conducción arcade famosa por su sistema de juego basado en una conducción caótica, agresiva y muy espectacular.
    Básicamente el juego tiene todo lo que la saga ofreció hasta el momento con la direfencia de que en este nos movemos por un mundo abierto; la ciudad de Paradise City, en la cual encontramos las pruebas marca de la casa. A saber, Furia al volante, carreras contra el reloj, carreras contra rivales, carreras de supervivencia y las llamadas pruebas de trucos. Se echan en falta aquellas pruebas de choque de entregas anteriores, pero en definitiva, lo que el juego nos ofrece está bien.
    El contenido incluido en el juego es ingente, con decenas de coches para desbloquear, montones de pruebas, literalmente una por cada intersección de calles de la ciudad, etc. el problema es que quizás el que el juego se desarrolle en el mundo abierto, en la misma ciudad hace que resulte ligeramente repetitivo, lo que unido a la cantidad de horas que nos encontramos en la campaña para un jugador, puede hacer que se nos haga pesado. Este problema no es baladí, realmente puede hacer que abandonemos el juego antes de terminarlo y eso le resta, obviamente, puntos.
    Aún así si eres fan de la saga no está de menos, como poco, probarlo. El remaster está bastante bien hecho y pese a que a veces nos demos cuenta que es juego de generación anterior, luce estupendo. Tiene una banda sonora bastante extensa, aunque nos hallamado la atención la inclusión de piezas de música clásica, en mi opinión no le pegan al juego nada, pero ahí están. E incluye todo el contenido adicional publicado en forma de dlc originalmente, desde coches, motos y una nueva zona de la ciudad con más pruebas por la patilla.    … Expand

    This game is not bad, but its just not fun for so long. The driving system is nice and the multiplayer is very fun, but it doesnt last for long. The grahics are ok and the casr destruction is just sutpid sometimes.

    I love the gameplay but too many things are locked behind online only achievements - and I never bother with online stuff. I'd buy more open world Burnout but only if content wasn't dependant on playing online

    I’m not sure why this is considered such a classic. Burnout Revenge was my game, and I loved it. Criterion did themselves no favors with the “open world”. I absolutely hate wandering around aimlessly and hoping you’re on the right route. The map is useless and the world is dead. I’m not a pro gamer, but I didn’t finish half my races because I couldn’t find the finish line. It’sI’m not sure why this is considered such a classic. Burnout Revenge was my game, and I loved it.

I’m not a pro gamer, but I didn’t finish half my races because I couldn’t find the finish line. It’s infuriating. Car customization is limited to colors, which didn’t bother me in Revenge. The cars felt unique in that game. I have no incentive to discover new areas or unlock cars in Paradise. The garage mechanic is annoying at best. Engine sounds and car characteristics are interchangeable. Soundtrack remains a highlight. This isn’t a bad arcade racer by any means, I just really wanted to make the point that it’s not some cult classic. There are hundreds of vehicles and I don’t care about any of them.… Expand

    Years ago I played it on my Xbox 360 and thought it was a masterpiece. After playing it again on my ps4, I found that it was only an above-average racer.

    Too little remade to justify the price? Perhaps. But we've not had a racing game quite like Burnout Paradise since it debuted. Still essential. [May 2018, p.95]

    Burnout Paradise Remastered is the remastered version of a legendary arcade racing game. Visually, the remaster itself doesn't give you the feeling that you're playing a modern racing game, the game is polished, but it still feels outdated. That being said, it's still fun to play if you liked the original, though now you can play in 4k and 60fps with all DLC included, and with an original banging soundtrack.

    Anyone looking to smash through the game’s 705 shortcuts, billboards and jumps is a true glutton for punishment, but Burnout Paradise was never made to test players’ skills — it was made to be an escape, which is why the poor difficulty curve is so forgivable. It will always be a pleasure to return to the warm sun and speedy shenanigans of strangers in this familiar place, even if just for a few minutes.
