EXPERT REVIEW

You know a game is awesome when it starts with Axl Rose singing "Paradise City". You know a game is awesome when it looks astoundingly detailed, yet runs smooth. You know a game is awesome when its name includes Burnout.

The Burnout series has been as consistent at creating great titles just as Bollywood is at creating crap! Each game in the series is better than the other. This time around, Burnout makes its entry with a true nex-gen title called Burnout Paradise. This is truly a new advent in the series with many new improvements and a few basic flaws. Read on to know more about this.

Summary

At the core, the innovation is still a classic Burnout game; for the cryogenically-frozen-for-the-past-few-years type of people, a Burnout game is the best arcade racing experience with kick-ass action in the form of crashing opponents. The game involves loads of events, unlocking cars and taking down the opponents. Burnout Paradise retains all these qualities, yet adds a different angle to the whole equation; it goes from being a linear-racer to an open ended world experience. All previous burnout titles were simply choose-and-race types; in Paradise, you roam-and-choose, and then race.

The idea of free roaming around the city is pretty cool and gives the player many options. You can just search for a race on the map, drive to the start point (a traffic signal) and start racing. En route, you will find various installations that'll help make your car better -- all for free. I will explain the concept a little later, for now let's look at the game modes.
