Burnout Paradise

Ethereal_Dragon · 05-26-2008, 10:32 AM

Well, last night my buddy and I rented Haze and Burnout Paradise for the PS3. (see the Haze thread for my opinion on that. Haze = Fail)

Burnout Paradise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
We played burnout for an hour or two, and it is a REALLY SWEET game. The graphics are top notch, you can damage vehicles.... The car's handling is a bit hairy when trying to drift for points with the e-Brake, but I probably just need to get adjusted to it. We were just doing the free-roam thing around the city, and put about 70 miles on the car. We tried a few of the stunt challenges, but it was epic failure every time. We couldn't even mass up half of the 5000 points we needed, oh well......

I am VERY SORRY to say, that this game is SINGLE PLAYER ONLY, in the sense that any multiplayer needs to be done strictly ONLINE. I don't see how burnout is still even Burnout without the 2 player crash contest mode. That is actually the ONLY REASON that I rented it, and was all hyped up to play, and was pretty let down to see that it wasn't included.

Blah the demo was only fun for one day, I'll stick to GT5:P.

Eh.... thats another issue I have..... $40 for a DEMO of GT5? THAT is terrible....

Why is everybody calling it a demo, especially when there are more tracks on the way and a better online support on the way, plus, if you play it you wont beat it in one day, trust me with the 4 different classes it will take you a while to beat, but whatever, everybody has there own opinion.
