    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 for this game is totally deserved.

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

    An amazing port of Burnout Paradise, but then it's a game that's getting on in years, that has been ported to lesser systems too and still been great, so no surprise there.

    Solid fun racing game. Could look better in hand held but still decent. Just wish it was cheaper. But good to have this type of game on the switch.

    One word: 60!

    (And some random more text because metacritic doesn't like the fact that I am so happy about the game constantly staying above 60 fps at all times.)

    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.

    This game is perfect in my honest opinion. I've never played the game before I knew the existence of its Nintendo Switch version. The only things that is bugging me is lack of certain languages like Russian. Other than that, I can have fun with this racing game endlessly.

    A quality open world racing game. The visuals look quite good, the gameplay is enjoyable, and there's a pretty good amount of content. However, it does becomes a bit repetitive after a while, and as such is best played in short bursts.

    Se trata sin duda del mejor juego de coches de la Nintendo Switch (con permiso de Autosport Grid). Una conducción arcade muy divertida (con drifting incluido), y un montón de secretos por descubrir en un mundo abierto que en ningún momento resulta vacío. Además, en el apartado técnico sobresale, siendo sin duda un juego totalmente imprescindible para los poseedores de Nintendo Switch.

    Everyone crosses. Paradise City, Oranges and Lemons, Alice in Chains, drinking is praying. Burnout Paradise Remastered is worth every penny.

    $50 is a bit steep for this port, but considering I never played the original I didn't feel too ripped off. Honestly I was very impressed with both the visuals and performance on the switch, esp in handheld. The multiplayer is odd and I haven't succesfully played an online race yet, but I've been too busy playing the campaign.

    I love racing games. This game is even better because I can just drive around as fast as I want to, jump, check out the roads and then enter into competition when I’m ready. The downside is that I find it hard when playing handheld on the switch, the obstacles are harder to see and I wreck more often. Controls overall are very responsive.

    All out mad arcade-style racing game. It took a little getting used to at first, but I loved the open-world approach to the racing genre. It has a great soundtrack, the feeling of speed you get in the vehicles is thrilling, and there are many fun game styles included. Going online and being able to set records on global high-score tables is also a nice little touch. I was slightlyAll out mad arcade-style racing game.

Going online and being able to set records on global high-score tables is also a nice little touch. I was slightly frustrated with the way the AI works during races though. In some game modes the AI attacks you as you race. But the slightest tap can send you flying in what feels like an unfair fight. Another irritation is slow-downs in the otherwise glorious frame-rate, when there is a lot of debris happening: a car will crash in front of you throwing up bits of wrecked car and smoke, which slows the frame rate to almost nothing, resulting in you ploughing straight into a pillar or an oncoming vehicle. That said I have sunk many happy hours into tearing up the streets of Paradise City and "ruling the road." If you enjoy all out crazy arcade racing games then I'm confident you'll enjoy this.… Expand

    It is my favorite racing game. I love the fact that you can collect cars, with crashing them. I love that you can choose what type of race you want to do. I love that you can play with the „worst“ car and still be fast and have fun. I love the design and the second map. I love the difficulty of this game. I love the little secrets, and that you can be faster if you know a short way.

    It's Burnout Paradise what more can I say? It's a good game with amazing destruction physics. I recommend buying it on sale though, the default price is a bit too high for a relatively bare bones port of a remaster of a PS3/360 title. If you can get it on sale, go for it, it's great fun

    In an era full of triple-A self-seriousness and open-world games that feel like they’re little more than busy work, Criterion reminds us that we don’t all need to follow the same template. Over a decade after release, Burnout Paradise is still the king of open-world racers, proving that a simple gameplay loop is often the most effective.

    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.

    No matter how good the game is — and make no mistake, it’s great — it’s hard not to scoff at the price. Yes, if you’re a fan of Burnout Paradise or open-world racers, this remaster is worth a look. But unless you’re craving a handheld experience, it might be wise to grab it elsewhere — or wait for a price drop.
