There's+a+recommended+route,+but+you+don't+have+to+follow+it. Once you've learned the ins and outs of the shortcuts this isn't as much of an issue, but in the meantime it's a better idea to stick to the streets. It's fairly common to be speeding along and hitting a shortcut you think will easily get you to your destination more quickly, then emerging on the other side going the wrong way or on a road from which it'll take far too long to find your way back, forcing a restart. Shortcut routes are clearly marked with blinking yellow gates and jumps with bright blue, but where exactly they'll emerge takes some getting used to. It'll be a while before getting to that point, however, since the city is a dense place. If you've spent the time exploring, learning the shortcuts or the best roads to follow, you'll have a much easier time reaching the finish line. When racing there's no specific path you need to follow in the game, which certainly has its strengths. What's lost in Paradise City is the feeling of structured challenge you'd get if the events were isolated instead of incorporated into an open world. While you may be cursing because the crash cost you time, broke a stunt combo, or dropped your race position, the slasher film-like brutality of the wrecks is still fascinating to watch. Whenever you do lose control and crash into a guardrail, passing traffic, or other racer, you're treated to a slow-motion scene of intricate vehicular destruction. Criterion does an excellent job here of conveying a sense of speed to the player as the environment zips by, and with some practice you'll be able to keep things under control for the most part thanks to the system's overall responsiveness and solid feel. With each car type, the boost provides a sensational acceleration that propels you forward at ridiculous rates.

For instance, speed type cars can only trigger boost once the meter is full, aggressive cars can extend their meters by taking down opponents, and stunt cars earn more by doing tricks. One of the franchise's trademarks is the boosting system, a meter that builds as you drive dangerously, which works differently across the three types of cars. The cars that eventually become available fall into the categories of speed, stunt, and aggressive types, and all have their own specific statistics and styles of handling that make unlocking and testing them all out worthwhile.

While in the confines of your car you can pull up at stoplights to trigger events of different types, like stunt challenges, races, marked man (reach a finish line while other drivers try to smash you to bits) and road rage (destroy a set number of cars within a time limit) events, as well as timed runs.

The city itself isn't a metropolis teeming with life-you won't see pedestrians wandering around or anything like that-but there's plenty of traffic on the roads and shortcuts to discover as you freely drive around.

There's also an option to restart events in the game, meaning you don't have to drive all the way back to the starting area if you want to try one again like was the case with the original release, which certainly makes things more convenient. All the content so far, including a day / night cycle in the world, a collection of bikes, and additional online challenges, is built into the Ultimate Box version for the PC. Paradise made its first appearance on Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 in January of 2008, and since then, the games have been expanded with several downloadable packs.

While some issues inherent in any open world are present in Paradise City, the overall experience provides for some great entertainment, particularly for the sector of the PC crowd who has yet to try a Burnout title.

Winning challenges nets you new rides and better licenses to take on more difficult challenges, making for an extensive offline component and a much different type of feel for a game like this. Around the fictional setting of Paradise City cars are meant to be smashed, shortcuts and super jumps discovered, and multiple routes toward the same finish line exploited. Yet that's exactly what Eden Games did with Test Drive Unlimited, and it's what Criterion has done with Burnout Paradise. An open world isn't necessarily something you'd expect from a racing game.
