Description
Described as a complete reinvention of the series by Alex Ward from Criterion Games, Burnout 5 boasts next-generation technology that specializes in creating explosive crashes, and multi-car pile-ups. Gamers cruise into Paradise City after getting a driving license that records all aggressive, reckless, and destructive driving a player will do during their time with the game. There are no rules and gamers may drive as they wish. However, having too much fun can trigger a rivalry with the cities current top burners. The environment itself is a seamless, non-loading landscape full of alleys, highways, city streets, pedestrians, and other drivers.~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

Strengths: Great action and sound.
Weakness: Hard to find your way around at times
This is a great game which the whole family can enjoy (which many of the games for the PS3 aren't). If you like racing games then this is for you. You won't be disappointed.
Strengths: Burnout now uses an open-world environment, good selection of cars, developers still working on improving this title
Weakness: Burnout now uses an open-world environment, cars are made up (not real life cars), game is picky about steering wheel controllers, music selection is bleh
From back to its days on the Playstation 2, the formula for Burnout games has been good controls, good variety of vehicles, a boost reward system for high risk driving, a driving engine that gives the best feeling of speed when combined with boosting, and spectacular crashes. Even though the Burnout franchise has now moved on to the Playstation 3, it doesn't deviate a lot from that basic formula....
Strengths: Great open world format. Can choose from many types of events. Continued support from Criterion with frequent updates and HUGE additions.
Weakness: Only if you don't like cars or racing.
Get this game! If not now, when it hits the PlayStation Network this fall at $29.99. I hope that other studios follow the lead of Criterion and provide MASSIVE UPDATES and EXPANSIONS for their games. Value of this game compared to price is off the charts!
Strengths: Speed, crashes, graphics
Weakness: no "restart race" option
The Burnout series has always been known for its amazing speed and off-the-top crashes as an arcade racer. Don't expect a racing simulator here. This title also offers probably one of the biggest change of direction in the series of Burnout games. Instead of having to flip through layers of menus to start a race, this one lets you continuously drive around town and pick races and challenges to...
Strengths: Huge length of roads, great stunts, updates
Weakness: No real cars
I love the concept and the execution. There is something like 250 miles of road filled with items you can use for action. Unlike many other games, there are periodic updates that actually add content to it! Only one downside: I wish they'd used real cars instead of fictitious american metal :-) but even that is not a great concern.
Strengths: Excellent graphics, very fast, easy to pick-up-and-play, addictive gameplay, FUN
Weakness: Can be slightly repetitious, difficult to follow map while racing
Burnout Paradise is one of the best racing games I've played in years. It's incredibly fast racing, and the crashes are downright brutal. The open world aspect adds a lot of exploration to the series - there are jumps to find, billboards to smash, gates to break. There is a LOT to this game, but the developers are still adding more. Several free updates either have releases or will release for...
Strengths: Cool graphics, Fun races and objectives
Weakness: Not really a weakness - but is different that you can do virtually anything you'd like.
Lots of places to crash and explore. Many interesting objectives and rewards. Music is quite good and graphics are very good - especially good crashes. Has a good feeling of speed. Utilizes the newer dual-shock controller as well. Overall a very good game.
Strengths: Visual Effect, Gameplay and Online
Weakness: None
Burnout Paradise moves to an open world. I like the idea. The entire city is open at the start of the game. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want. The visual effect is excellent. The crash in the slow motion is amazing. The online feature may be one of the best things in this game. The switch is seamless. You have the ability to both race and take on challenges. Races are of your own...
Strengths: Graphics, online feature
Weakness: None
This game is kinda different to other racing games and makes itself fun and special. I like its game design. The graphics is stunning. The real-world rendering is amazing. The sense of motion is perfect. I like to watch the car wrecks and they look awesome in slow motion! Multiplayer online racing is seamless, just hit the right button and you are connected online! I am very satisfied with this...

Ok, no quoting the Guns ‘N Roses song. Unless you’ve been tucked away in the ‘land of no rock ‘n roll,’ chances are pretty good you’ve heard “Paradise City,” which – coincidentally – just happens to be in the title of the EA’s latest iteration in the Burnout series. Burnout Paradise is a free-wheeling sandbox world that allows players to choose their own course through the...

The Burnout series mimics the Need for Speed series...
Strengths: Fantastic crash models, very nice framerate, fairly good car models
Weakness: NO split screen multiplayer, sometimes a bit too rediculous.
The last Burnout game I played was for the XBOX. I enjoyed it a lot for its "puzzle-like" crash modes. You and a friend could alternate to see who could rack up the most costly crash with a predetermined scenario. This mode was great fun and really showed off the crashes well. Add to that dueling it out in person against one another in a heated race as you try to destroy one another and you can...
