    If you’ve never experienced Burnout Paradise before — or even if you just want the convenience of having an all-time classic racing game with you everywhere you go — you’re in for a treat with this Remastered version on the Switch. It may be more than a decade old, but time hasn’t diminished it in any way, and it’s still a must-play for anyone who likes a whole lot of destruction in their racing games.

    Still best in class, Burnout Paradise Remastered on Switch is a perfect fit that plays as well as you remember it, even if it's far too expensive.

    Burnout Paradise Remastered brings a strong open-world racing playground to Switch. The smart port job means that you can play the game on Switch without any notable technical compromise. The repetitive design might be a bother for some, but the open world’s pick-up-and-play nature is so perfect on a portable system that it’s hard to get annoyed.

    The essence of Burnout Paradise is still intact in its remastered version for the Nintendo Switch, from the positive points such as the fun of doing a takedown, to the negative ones such as the looped repetition of the Guns N 'Roses song.

    Burnout Paradise Remastered offers the possibility of feeling the adrenaline and speed that we enjoyed so much a decade ago; And that is priceless.

    Overall Burnout Paradise Remastered, does exactly what it set out to do and accomplished it very well especially on a lower tier hardware like the Nintendo Switch. Most people will enjoy this romp around and new players will enjoy the open level design. The biggest downfall is the price I would really recommend waiting for it to go on sale because at its normal price it is too steep to recommend.

    The remaster works well enough to buoy a remarkable game for its time, and a solid game today. Some players may be disappointed in the aesthetics, but others may revel in simpler times, particularly those without RPG mechanics forced into every facet of progression. There's an undeniable presence that exists in the Burnout franchise, and Paradise, even throughout the years, continuous to define the arcade-at-home experience for every petrol head with a Switch.

    This game is wonderful. I don't have nostalgia for it because I've never played the game prior to the Switch port. The love and praise forThis game is wonderful. I don't have nostalgia for it because I've never played the game prior to the Switch port. The love and praise for this game is totally deserved. Every event and secret is centered around and takes place in a masterfully designed open world city. I was really surprised at how much variety there can be in a racing game. It's easily the best racing game I've ever played and is one of the best arcade games as well. I love it so much and plan to 100% it. The price is egregious compared to other consoles, but even at $50usd, it's worth it. (I'm giving it a 10 because it so perfectly executes it's vision).… Expand

    Es un excelente videojuego pero no tiene nada que ver con su antiguo predecesor pero se merece su puntuación por toda la mejora que le hicieron.

    Really fast with a smooth framerate and can be fun.

    Unfortunately races are spoilt as the graphics aren't sharp enough for you to make out    Really fast with a smooth framerate and can be fun.

    Unfortunately races are spoilt as the graphics aren't sharp enough for you to make out turns you need to make in time. I play in portable mode so it may be better for players using a large tv.

    The map is also always north up so if you are travelling southwards, the directions are upside down and a required left turn shows as a right on the map. Not an issue on fixed tracks but can cause real problems on a free world game this fast combined with such blurry graphics.

    I also don't like the format where you have to drive around the city and pull up at different traffic lights to start each race. If there is a decent route or event, I want to select it immediately rather than trying to remember where it was in a large city.    … Expand
