There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I loved Burnout: Paradise. It grew boring, however, because there was no "ok, now what?" factor to it. You drove, you crashed, you raced, but there was no 'skin in the game' feeling to it. The entire time I played that game, I was thinking of the NFS games like Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, and fervently wishing that Burnout: Paradise had THAT kind of gameplay.
Well, now it does. I've told my friends that this is basically Burnout: Paradise with police chases. And that makes it awesome, fun, and exciting. Collecting the new cars is fun, beating the challenges is fun, trying to beat my friends' accomplishments in the game is fun. I play games to have FUN, not to construct a factually accurate racing platform with minute attention to detail!
It looks great, the sound is great, and it's one of those 360 titles that I can throw in and play for a few free minutes and have a little fun, without having to worry about reaching a waypoint, a quest location, or a pivotal plot moment. Just get in and drive.
If you can accept it for what it is, it's great fun. If you expected something more Need For Speed-ish...you will probably be disappointed.
I love the flexibility of this game. I also like that it is as challenging as you want it to be. If you want to be the best driver, kill all the Most Wanted cars, and get great times, you can do that. If you want to be crazy and get the most insane crash ever, you can do that! If you want to put spoked low-rider tires on your car along with an epic montage of the Virgin Mary destroying NYC, you can d....oh wait, you can't do that. But my point is, this game is sweeeeeeet!
Now, if you're looking for a by-the-book super real-life game (like, say, Gran Turismo) this isn't it. Tons of great cars from tons of great brands, good mods, but not exactly realistic in terms of tuning and racing rules--it's not supposed to be. Cheers!
I've got 44 hours into Most Wanted and I'm at 42/46 achievements completed on 360. The achievements are more Single Player focused by far, but my public multiplayer experience has been great and it's something I'm happily working through in order to max out all the car mods on the cars I like. Completing every race in 1st with every car will take a lot longer than I expected, along with unlocking all the Single player and multiplayer mods.
It's fast, looks excellent and the experience is exactly the arcade racer I was expecting. Another win.
This game is just downright fun. From speeding around in a Challenger SRT8 or smashing into police cars in a Ford Raptor this game doesn't get old. My only gripe with the game is the magical police cars that pop up right next to you right as your about to evade.
If you enjoy great visuals and hysterically fun game play this game is a must have. I even purchased this for my PSVita. Guess what? All of my experience transfered because I use the same account. No unlocks and vehicles don't transfer but the most wanted level does. To the people who can't get over this is nothing like the old most wanted.... Go play the old most wanted. This is Burnout Paradise and Most Wanted had a baby.
