A complete edition of the racing game released in 2008 by Criterion Games. The title was a great success and received many DLC expansions during the months following its debut. The game takes place in the titular Paradise City which has open structure and across which the player can freely move while accepting various racing challenges.

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box for PC, PS3 and X360 is the next installment in the extremely popular racing games series. The title was at first released for the seventh generation’s consoles (PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360) and then for PC. The developers decided to refresh the classic gameplay formula by using technology that has never been used before. Most of all, the physical engine was greatly improved and now it lacks any scripts and affects all three-dimensional objects. In addition to that, the number of pieces of the virtual vehicles that can be damaged was increased up to almost one hundred. This allows the players to, for example, cut the car in half or change a coupé into a cabriolet.

Gameplay

The game takes place on the large area of Paradise City – a fictional metropolis which contains, among other things, an island with an airport, a bay with skyscrapers and hills that are free of any infrastructure. The player’s task is mostly spectacular driving and breaking the traffic regulations. One can drive against more than thirty various rivals and unlock new vehicles while progressing in the game. The vehicles aren’t licensed, but they are based on such cars like American muscle cars (for example the Ford Mustang) and European machines like Ferrari Enzo. During the races the player has great freedom of movement and he should look for shortcuts. Of course, it is very enjoyable to play the game with other players through the Internet.
