I'm in Paradise

Paradise City is Heaven for any BurnoutAholic. There is so much to do. I just love Marked Man and Road Rage. The AI is so aggressive… You’ve got to love it when they turn around and smash into you head on! It is so nice having the freedom to take the battle where ever you want. I tend to drive the up to White Mountain as that is the area I know best. I find myself getting 20+ takedowns in every Road Rage.

 

Races are really close and intense. I don’t know how many times I’ve crossed the finish line at the same time as the AI… you don’t really know if you have won or not until the games tells you that you have. I have my A license now and I’ve noticed that the traffic is getting heavier and meaner! This is really cool since it means that races are getting more challenging both because of traffic and faster AI.

 

I have not been messing about a lot in ShowTime yet but as some of you know I played a lot of ShowTime when we went to visit Criterion Games in October. To me ShowTime is much more entertaining than the old Crash mode from Burnout 2, 3 and Revenge. Everyone I’ve played with online so far really likes ShowTime. You can start ShowTime whenever you want both online and offline. ShowTime online is awesome since all the players in the lobby can go into ShowTime at the same time. It will be interesting to see what kind of scores people can achieve. I guess there will be hard core players that can keep it going for hours.

 

I’ve unlocked about 25 cars so far. I don’t really have a favorite yet but for freeburning I think I prefer the faster Stunt Class Cars (Speed Rating 4-5). They are good for chasing down people and doing lots of cool stunts. I also unlocked a couple of Speed Boost class cars with speed rating around 8. I love cruising around in these getting my burnout chains.

 

I did a couple of two player online challenges with Jasman last night. The ones in the airfield were really fun. Doing double barrel rolls through the elevated airplane fuselage is just awesome… takes a bit of practice to get it perfect though…

 

That’s all for now… I’ll get back with more details later.
