My friends go into a frenzy whenever a new Burnout arrives and everytime I would eventually make it over to one of their houses and try out these games. Every single time I see them having a really fun time and I just dont see why. I get it the cars go fast. Oh, you can boost to make your car go even faster? Great.

With the release of Burnout Paradise I was really psyched about the concept. The whole open world idea seemed like the good change of pace that I have been waiting for. However when I got it I found it extremly repetitive after you acquire your licenses. It was basically the same as the previous games but no instead of navigating menu’s you navigate a virtual world.

The only thing I like about the series are the visuals. Criterion games always put out games that blow my mind visually but when I get to the game play I always leave feeling underwhelmed.
