burnout paradise remastered switch review

Of course, there’s give and take to that since you won’t have the satisfaction of unlocking all those vehicles like you normally would in the original game. This is fantastic since you can get right into the early races and have the best possible cars to take them on. One of the best things about this remaster is the ability to drive nearly all the vehicles (motorbikes included) from the beginning since purchasing the remaster gives you immediate access to eight of the total nine DLC available. Receive all the best cars in the game from the very beginning, including the Legendary vehicles The idea was to learn the roads since you decided the route to win your race (and sure, you get given directions on where to go, but half the fun was picking your own route). You were encouraged to drive through the streets of Paradise City at insane speeds, build up your boost meter by driving recklessly (i.e wrong side of the road, too close to people, ramming other racers off the road), crash through billboards, and explore every shortcut and corner of the map. Paradise was the pinnacle of the series and fully incorporated what the other Burnout games had utilised. But, even those don’t quite hit the same way Burnout Paradise (and the series as a whole) does since nothing beats creating huge car accidents and having total disregard for the other racers (I know NFS Payback has that mechanic, but I never felt it was quite as good). Nowadays, you’ve got plenty of other games that are of the same genre, like Need For Speed Payback, Forza Horizon 4, and The Crew games. Paradise is a fan favorite, where we first got the opportunity in the Burnout series to enjoy free roam, open-world driving. Let me run a short refresher of the game for those new to the Burnout series (completely understandable, since we haven’t had a new one since 2011’s Burnout Crash!).

Even if I didn’t drop as many hours into this one as I did the others in the series, I still felt that wave of nostalgia flood over me. The Burnout series is a relic in time a time when you’d just get home from school, skip the homework, and just race fast cars, force everyone else off the road and break every possible driving law until you get called for dinner. I kind of forgot this one existed since I didn’t play it nearly as much as I did Burnout 2: Point of Impact or Burnout 3: Takedown. Boot up your Nintendo Switch, load Burnout Paradise, and hear that title screen song nothing quite beats hearing Guns N Roses’ Paradise City once more.
