Paradise is simply not a Burnout game. It’s a great racing game, but there’s nothing Burnout about it.
I’ll take Burnout 3 or even Burnout Revenge any day. That crash junctions are the series bread and butter.
I also strongly agree that Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge are the best in the series, the most focused and polished… Burnout Paradise is OK but lacks something those other two have.
Whenever I think about Burnout Paradise I think about somebody (I think it was Yahtzee) describing the world of Burnout Paradise as a post apocalyptic nightmare world where cars have taken over, and one lone human hides out in his radio station broadcasting desperately to a murderous mechanical audience.
Burnout Revenge.
Fight me.
I have fond memories of hanging out, smoking weed, and filling my belly with diet soda while playing Burnout Revenge for the PS2.
Being serious it’s Revenge
Burnout 3 baby!!
Burnout 3 absolutely. Paradise was a great game but it’s format shift to open world effectively killed the series. Also made races really repetitive since they always went to the same places and you didn’t have an incentive to explore the rest of the map, which was full of really cool stuff like the quarry and train lines…
Anyway Burnout 3 is just the perfection of the classic formula. Shoutouts to Revenge for the traffic check mechanic and the cool new car designs.
