Paradise, the demo, a review

This is a long one, so read as and when, it is an open world after all.

Well, downloaded, the demo, at 9.15, played it for 15 minutes, went out, phone two people I know and said, didn’t like it, but fun to play, I think? Then did my outside thing, bought some Lucozade (not been well), munchies, and then I played the game demo for 15 hours, travelled 780 miles online, played with friends and randoms (This is a burnout word, as it’s not in my PC dictionary, added), by creating some rooms, did all the challenges, on my own, with 2, 3 and 4 players. So spent some more time on the game than any, paid by the hour journalist, though some must have been fans and played it for fun too, and a bit longer, than is required to write something about it, but if I’m going to write my blog review, I’m not going to base it on a single play through.

Is it really Paradise

so at first I was disappointed.. woke up at my normal time for work, (6am) and turned on the 360, into the market place and what no paradise demo.. that sucked... was looking forward to it being all ready to go when I got home.. not a good start..

Burnout Paradise! D

the demo is awsome its the only thing ive been playing and the only game i will play tell the real game comes out!! plus burnout 3!! lol

i love paradise i havev already found every shortcut, billboard, jump and gates in the demo now im just messing around im trying to get the  ebrake down and im almost there!! also getting use to the drifting and handling of the car! i love the game!!! rawr!! im just jumping up and down!!

Paradise Demo

....

Don't really know where to start, so I think I may ramble a bit - apologies in advance.

I turn it on and it is truly beautiful to behold, the car handles nicely and I start freeburning around the city, knock out some signs, jump some jumps and crash, a lot. So I am an hour in and I can't get a feel for the city, the street names are not registering and to be honest I'm at abit of a loss for what to do so I go online with some strangers and it hits - cruising around on your own is pointless cruisin around with others is cool. Although there is very little to do in the demo, the potential is astounding for online play. I must admit I miss the ability to look up who has the best score/time on a given event (gamerwhore) but in the free for all of online play it is quite competitive to get your name to the top of the various statlists. I seriously miss the inclusion of Showtime as the videos posted by

My First Paradise Demo Review!

WOO! it downloaded in time for my lunch break!! 🙂

I just spent the last 45 minutes freeburning with Suffur. The demo does feel a little small on first play, I was crashing into a lot of road blocks!

I like how it says that the road will re-open in January 2008.

Burnout 3 Saga Part 7: Confused? you will be...

I had a great few races and road rages on Burnout 3 last night as the servers were back online after the EA Tuesday reset maintenance thing they do.

I have given up trying to get a straight answer out of EA about what is going on with the servers. To be honest I don't think they know anyway!

Paradise Demo Tonight!!!!

From Midnight tonight (gmt) the Paradise demo will be available for download for the PS3 and Xbox 360! if not it will definatly be available tomorrow!

The online demo will be for up to 4 players online, and will include 3 events one of which is a Stunt Run so everyone can experience this new game mode.

getting personal

So I haven't been checking on this for a while and I come back log on and notice I have a new personal message.. it seems as though I may have offended someone.. or they took what I said a little personal..
