    lads & lassies

    Picked up this game for PS3 over the week-end and haven't a clue what to do??

    nothing on screen to tell you what to do and no commentary - am i missing something?

    I have a learner permit and it says in 2 race wins it will be upgraded - where do I start the race and how do I know the course.

    Thanks.

    Go to any set of traffic lights. Hold the break and the accelerator together. That will start the race.

    Thanks for that.

    Once the race starts how do I know where I'm going? Is there some sort of an arrow directing me? Or do I consult a map?

    Basically the lights are the starting point - where is the finishing point?

    Theres a little compass at the top of th screen that tells you the general direction to go and the distance, the street signs will blink when your approaching a turn. Takes a race or two to get the hang of but its good fun. Road rage is my favourite followed by marked man.

    When the race starts the annoying DJ man will show you a map and say "You are here. Now race here" and will show you the finish point. Once the race starts its up to you how to get there. Good idea in theory, terrible in practice. I scream with rage every time I take a wrong turn and end up going round a long winding slip road up to some motorway. What I've taken to doing now is following behind other racers for most of the route just so I can follow the way they go, then try to boost past them on the home run. Well, when I say that's what I do now, I haven't actually played the thing in about 2 weeks.

    IK'm having an absolute blast with Burnout Paradise.
    It's a real quality title and the developers must be sick with the 7s and 8s out of 10 that the game is receiving.
    That criticism that you can't restart a race is just bollox - this is a sandbox game. Do something else. there's always tons of other events nearby.
    Plus StuntRun is awesome.

    You should just read some professional reviews - you can't expect fair and/or balanced opinions from random Joes on the interwebs. [Link]

    IMHO it's a great game with some moderate annoyances. You may rate these annoyances as more (or less) detrimental to the playing experience. I've already aired my grievances in this thread.

    I know what you mean, I was just asking in general out of 10 what the guys on this thread thought of it, I have read loads of reviews which were helpful
    Watching trailers only show the polished and edited 'good bits' just like any movie.
    I have the first version for the PS2 which was 6/10 at best
    So before I buy it I reckon it's worth my while getting opinions from people who have the game already

    But thanks for the advice all the same :)

    I found it gets old as a 1 player game quite quickly. The mulitplayer can be very good though. I'd give it 7 out of 10.

    I'd give it 9/10.
    Looks beautiful, and is lightning fast.
    You'll always find something to in Paradise City.

    Now that this is free on PSN+ and most of us have one months use, I'm just downloading it and can't wait to play it. If its any good I was thinkin gof just buying the Ultimate Box as its cheap in town.

    One question tho, I saw a few people saying the save from the PSN version won't work with the disk version. Is this true? If so, is there any fix for it. Would be some epic bullsh*t if it is true!
