Burnout Paradise - Complete

niallon

Anybody pick this up? I never bought the initial release of Paradise but compared to diminishing NFS titles I wanted to grab a copy for myself but when presented with a pre owned original for €9.99 or this new release for €29.99 it's help to know whether or not there's really anything new of note on this release. Sure enough IGN can tell me all sorts of things but I'd rather hear a proper gamer opinion!

kaimera

is it all the dlc included?

not sure myself cos I have the pc version

niallon

It's being plugged as Paradise plus Paradise Bikes and there's a snap of an old hot rod on the back cover so I'm guessing it's mostly new vehicles coming with it, not enough to make me pony up the dough TBH.

Helix

if you dont have burnout paradise, buy it

rizzla

Yeah get it. Don't think it comes with the new island though, or the legend and toy cars. That's still dlc to come.

niallon

Guess that solves that one then! Cheers for the info

where is the original €10 preowned?

niallon

Smyths, was the last time I had my eye on it anyways, was down to €20 in the sale and still at €10 pre-owned to the best of my knowledge

Burnout Paradise Ultimate has the game plus all the free updates up to now, upgrading it to Burnout Paradise 1.6 together with the Party Pack add on thrown in, and that costs 9.99 on it's own, so a good deal over all, especially if you don't have it already.

Burnout Paradise could well be remembered as one of the best racing games of all time, what with all the coold Premium DLC, DLC that really adds to the experience, gods, I love this game.

I just wish I was better at it!

niallon

I've played it a bit in the last day or two and I dunno about best ever but definitely of 2008 at least. Haven't played many racing games since NFS Underground on the PS2 though!

DeVore

I had 298 of 300 of those damned billboards when I moved apartment and left the PS3 behind.

I love the Burnout series but I miss the Crash Events... Crashtime aint a patch on it.

Burnout 3 was awesome but I liked Revenge too and the retooled version with the new graphics is quite tasty!

Might download this as i'm on a mission now that I'm online

I'm a huge PGR fan, from back in the MSR days! Any comparisons between the two. Also, I tried the demo of this and wasn't overly impressed with the handling. Is it worth overlooking that and picking up the full game?! I've heard so many positive comments about this that it's hard to ignore!!

bit ****

no local multiplayer
have to drive around to look for races


burn out 2 was something else.

Definately worth getting. I thought the handling was grand. The drifting is fun
Ya do have to drive around looking for a race but thats only something small, it is a driving game after all. Get it, get it now

They just added turn based local multiplayer if that's of interest. Haven't tried it yet myself. If the game's only 10e pricing that pack at 800 points is a bit of a ripoff imo.

Bought this on release and traded it in a month later. Lack of split screen multiplayer was criminal.

Stephen

They dumped split screen cos there's no way they could have maintained the 60fps framerate. Anyway, best value for money console game ever. I don't know of any other that gave out as much free DLC.

CyberWaste

Is this still €9.99 preowned in smyths on jervis street by any chance? And it isnt that trade 2 games in get it for a tenner deal is it?

faceman

This is one of my fav games. I havent downloaded the party play thingie tho, is it worth it?

Stephen

Not really unless you regularly have people over playing it in person. Its a pass-the-pad type thing.

RobertFoster

Not worth it IMO. Like Stephen said, it's just pass the pad party play. There's a video of it on GiantBomb.
