Burnout Paradise

So as part of the welcome back package for Playstation 3 owners you got a 30 day membership to playstation plus and a choice of 2 games. Well if you check out the playstation plus store then you will find that Burnout Paradise is free to download, so if you want even more free games then go ahead.

I've never really been fond of car games but the only one i ever liked was Burnout Revenge for the PS2. I used to play it all the time, try to get the best scores i could, i never got round to completing it 100% though. And due to this game I've always wanted to get Burnout Paradise but after seeing the style of this game i avoided it. Since you drive around the city doing missions you find a traffic lights, it's too free roamy compared to Revenge which had a set of challenges and levels that you worked your way up. But as the game was free i downloaded it to give it a go, and I've got to say i like it.

My car, 90% of the time
I still dislike the way you find and accept missions, but it's unique and interesting. Just not my cup of tea. Now I've never saw the obsession some people have with cars, and to be frank i still don't. But my class of car in this game is Stunt. For me, speed is too fast and with you constantly boosting you're not really having much fun because you have to stick in the middle of the road and you don't get to do any cool tricks or see the scenery. Then there's Aggressive with isn't too bad, but in racers i don't really like sticking with the competition, i want them so far behind they're not even on my map. So i went with stunt, this gives me a flexible amount of boost to work with, i can drift all i want and most of the time with i tap into a citizen car i don't instantly become Wrecked. Also in races i can go every shortcut i can find and do double barrel rolls until i can practically hear Slippy begging for me to do another.

  11. I'm not too into burnout, the only racing games I've ever played were Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 and Midnight Club 2. The latter was hilarious XDDD
