游戏名称《火爆狂飙?天堂》（Burnout Paradise）游戏制作EA Games游戏类型RAC游戏发售日
Criterion工作室的Burnout一直是街头赛车类游戏的王者。其紧张的操作感与压倒性的速度感让它得以在同类游戏中稳坐头一把交椅，可与其比肩的游戏也从不多见。在外界毁誉参半的评论声中，Criterion并没有停滞不前，每当新作发表时，玩家们都会惊喜的从他们的作品中体会到令人满意的惊喜与诚意。
Burnout Paradise向我们展示了赛车游戏有史以来方方面面所可以做到的最彻底的变革。或许有些很受玩家的青睐，同时也或许有的方面并不尽如人意，但我们仍始终欣慰地从中体会到那些疯狂的速度与完美的驾驶感觉，或许仅仅因为如此，我们就不应错过这部佳作。
Burnout Paradise与历代最大的区别就是此次的游戏背景是被架设在一个开放的城市-天堂市街区(与之伴随的是Guns'N'Rose的专辑主打歌)。在游戏的开始，整座城市在游戏的初期就已经完全开放，玩家可以在任何时见任何地点驾着自己的爱车做任何想做的事。但并非所有的赛事在游戏初期就已经全部解锁，这需要玩家投入较多的时间去将多达75种车辆逐一解锁，欣慰的是，玩家不会在选项中有被限制的感觉。
游戏的优缺点都很明显。城市的赛道，不得不让人感叹其设计者的伟大。游戏提供了大量不同的事件点及多到数不清的隐藏区域来供探索。超近路、秘密线路行驶以及诸多新奇的事件点为游戏带来了诸多的变数。你也可以在各处找到类似小斜坡这样的跳跃点，把你以各种优美的姿势抛向空中，让偏爱特技的玩家大呼过瘾(后文会有稍详细的介绍)。
天堂市的市中心主干道是上两款游戏中市中心路段的重现，而西部地区则是再现前作中绵长交错的乡间路段。在提供大量直道为你提供加速机会的同时，两三条高速公路的错落交通又足以要你好看。
The car designs are fantastic.
天堂市的道路密集错综，尤其是在东部及市中心区，为你的比赛提供了无数种途径作为选择。当比赛开始时，你所要做的只是从尽你所能的从起点驶向终点，无论你的行车路线如何，这也意味着，你可以创造属于你自己的自由路线来进行，同时也意味着你不得不时常地打开地图来确认一下自己是不是走了一条偏差太远的错路或者拐错了弯(深有体会)。因为有着许多隧道、公路一旦开进去，想要出来就不容易了(想起了北京的环线)。除非你已经把地图深深地印在脑子里，否则天堂市的道路保准让你地图不离手。
游戏内建终点方向指示器，不过它的作用仅仅是提供方向指针而已，并不会告诉你如何转弯之类的(参照无限试驾的导航功能)。出于Criterion这种希望玩家自由路线驾驶的想法来考虑，也是可以理解的。代价就是在所以地图烂熟于胸之前，乖乖的调出地图来看吧。
这种开放世界设定的另一个缺点是，在比赛过程中，你不能像NFS系列那样简单的暂停、重新开始游戏。这意味着，如果您从地图的一侧开始比赛，终点在地图另一侧，当最后结果不满意或者比赛失败时，你需要自己开回起点去重新激活比赛。这起初听起来让人觉得很懊恼。不过一种新的游戏心态会帮助您克服这个现象。那就是，并不急于将每件事都做到完美，而是不如就近换一场别的比赛玩玩，什么时候有机会路过之前的起点时，再做尝试。这令我们进行游戏时的心态有相当有益的作用，也可以减少在同一赛道多次尝试所积累起来的疲劳感。当然，那些目指100%全完美赛事并且有恒心有耐心的玩家也可以选择乖乖开回终点去重新来过。
当然，比赛绝不是在天堂市里可以做的唯一一件事。与所有的方面进行对比，“野蛮驾驶”是变化最小的一部分内容，它的唯一主要区别既是由一次三辆目标车辆改为一次五到六辆作为你的牺牲品。不要以为这仅仅是一个数量上的变化，“野蛮驾驶”因其而变得更加野蛮而混乱，因为您可以看到更多的车辆碰撞在一起，齐刷刷地从挡风玻璃上飞过的场面。我们甚至对此仍不满足……
旧的“撞车模式”一去不复返了，取而代之的是“撞车秀时间”。与前作中由一次红灯和飞驰而来的你所造成的撞车模式不同，今次的“撞车秀时间”将主动权交给了玩家，你可以在任意时候通过按下LB+RB来发动它(甚至是在撞车发生以后)。一旦您发动了它，您的车辆马上开始翻转起来，然后整条街道都会因此而遭了殃。从您发动“撞车秀”开始所在的街道开始计分，如果你够酷、水平够高的话，你可以一次翻车滚遍整个天堂市。- -|||
“撞车秀”与前作的碰撞时间的另一大主要区别是，”时间”激活后，在有加速槽的情况下，你可以通过控制车辆不停地撞向别的车而将碰撞延续下去， 每次撞倒一辆车时，加速槽就会有相应的增长，同时，积分也不断累加。不过，只有那些被你亲自碰到的汽车才会计算到积分当中，而那些间接、连锁撞到的汽车并不加分，同样，只有你亲自撞到公共汽车上，分数才会翻倍。提起公共汽车，让人觉得有些气馁，因为有可能开滚了10分钟都遇不到一辆。不过一旦有幸遇到了，拿下些指数级增长的积分，则有很大的运气因素在里面了。
抛开别的不提，若不是想荒谬的一直撞下去的话，“撞车秀”并不是个十分有技术含量的活。需要达到的分数限，也很容易突破，撞车变得更加无需经过大脑，给人感觉前作撞车模式所给与的挑战感与乐趣感，真的已经一去不复返了。
Road Rage is largely the same, but it's still the best incarnation yet.
除此之外，游戏还为每条街道新增了计时纪录。如果你从任何一条街道的端点开始起跑，一个计时器则会开始为你在这条街道上计时，测量你驶完整条街道的时间。这是一个非常简单而且自然的竞速模式，同样也因为其如此的简单而倍受欢迎。
特技表演是最新被加入到Burnout中来的要素，它要求您在一些特定时间内完成一些高难度的动作同时积累特技得分。比如滑行过弯+喷射校正可以获取一些特技点数，跳越斜坡可以得到翻倍加分，撞穿大门、滚筒式回旋则会得到更多的加分。当你找到多个起跳斜坡完成连续飞跃动作时，绝对会让人感觉酷到尖叫出来。这里唯一的缺点即是由于不同车辆特性对于特技得影响使你不得不在各种类型的车辆中进行选择。
70多种不同的车辆被分别归到特技类、速度类与侵略类(字面上的意思，不知这么翻是否妥当)。侵略类的车辆都体型庞大、体重过人，实在是杀人越货，称霸路面的极品凶器，但是它们在敏捷方面的表现却不尽如人意。特技类的车辆都在跳跃与漂移方面有所专长，他们是与前作Burnout中最为类似的车辆。而速度类的车则专为飚车而设计，驾驶着它们你会发现加速槽的刻度貌似源源不断用之不尽，而作为限制的是，只有在加速槽满格的时候，你才能使用它。
只有在加速槽满的时候才可使用，意味着速度类的车辆虽然在长距离的直道加速上有着更过人的表现，但其操作性则需要更多的策略性及更为苛刻。在特技事件中，由于速度类的车的特殊性能，使得它在轻按喷射键之后既会立即撞在别的车辆上，从而一次性地增加连续碰撞数。而对于特技类的车或侵略类的车来说，你可以飞向一辆车的同时，来考虑下一跳的目标，在连续碰撞判定刻度即将消失的前一刹那按下喷射键来继续进行碰撞。但这在速度型的车里行不通。这种喷射加速设定的区别理论上使得速度类的车相对于其他类型的车来说更加有意义，然而事实上并非如此。
另一件相当酷的事情是，如何在比赛中赢取车辆。当你得到一个新的执照，系统会奖励你一辆新车。这辆新车可以直接从车库里开出来上大街。而对于非此途径获得的车，则需要你现在比赛中“做掉”它。当你通过赛事解锁了一辆新车时，它并非直接出现在你的车库里，而是开始出现在天堂市的街头，四处闲逛。你要做的就是找到它，撞向它。与我们进行事件选择相似，当我们解锁了一辆车之后，也无需立即开始在城里进行地毯式扫荡，只需我们在行驶的过程中多看看周围，什么时候它悠闲地在我们面前大摇大摆地过马路时，撞过去就是了。让我们向天堂市最杰出的汽车修理工致敬。
本作中进化度最高的部分莫过于线上游戏模式，邀请好友到您的比赛中。自己设定挑战所需一切的一切。只需轻按十字键的右，则会打开线上模式选单，你可以用它来完成所有相关操作，而无需熄灭发动机。:)
当你凑够了一两个朋友(或者七个)，你就可以看到数个选项。你可以自己制订一场属于你自己的赛事，在地图上自订起点、自订终点、自订途中需要经过的检查点等等等等，甚至还可以将路线保存起来以备以后使用。你同样可以主持各种类型的“自由狂飙”挑战赛。游戏为不同数量的玩家组合，共提供了50余种挑战赛。换句话说，50余种双人挑战赛、50余种三人挑战赛，依次类推。给你绝对多的“自由狂飙”来完成(是的，100%完成的话需要不短的一段时间)。比如让两个玩家从一座大桥的两端相向疾驰，并在空中相撞，再比如让每个玩家作过山车一样的特技表演。所有的这些都十足有趣，并让你尝试各种不同的乐趣。
Speed, speed and more speed. Oh, and some extra speed for flavor.
再一次抛开别的不谈，所有Burnout系列作品都很成功，也很重要的一环节是，这里的车子能够跑得有多快。Criterion又一次为我们制订了新的标准，为玩家提供在完美可控范围内的，以理论重量为前提的，顶级行车速度。前作110%的速度感，足以令划过后视镜的赛道两侧景物模糊的极限速度。
最后，值得一提的是。Criterion再一次的为我们带来了了一款可以无可挑剔的画面流畅、音响效果出众的游戏作品。游戏以60帧秒速完美运行，给人留下难以磨灭的印象。撞车效果真实而又梦幻，慢动作特写逼真呈现了碰撞中残骸方向盘嵌入驾驶座等诸多细节，如果真的有驾驶员的话，那他死定了。
Burnout Paradise并不是没有瑕疵的，同时也给我们带来了难以置信的乐趣。开放式世界为游戏的成功奠定了基础，同时也使得我们越来越多的开始依赖地图，但同样也允许我们自由自在的探索未知。最为重要的是，Criterion为我们再一次带来了撞车也有美好回报的混沌的驾驶体验。不论你是铁杆赛车迷或者竞速门外汉，都不应错过这一作。
外观9.0界面友好新颖，尤其是线上模式部分，但游戏内建指向导航系统有待改进图像9.0虽然在同类赛车游戏中并不是最出色的，但是给人感觉上乘，尤其是碰撞的刻画，给人惊喜音响9.5引擎与碰撞的声音无与伦比，诚意尽显游戏性8.5速度与控制感完美，但过于依赖地图令手感多少打了折扣，比赛过程中不可Restart是个弊病耐玩度9.0要完美的话，需要大量时间，不过或许有人愿意试试综合8.8-前瞻
众所周知，Criterion总是喜欢重塑自我。虽然很多人已经为Burnout3 - Takedown打了满分，但制作人在制作Burnout Revenge时仍然在前作基础上做出了很多很多改变。此次的Paradise同样可以称得上天翻地覆。
对于刚接触这款游戏的人而言，整个游戏既是设置在一个名为天堂市的开放世界，而玩家要做的，就是从头开始将整个事件逐步解锁，在这个没有限速区域的城市里，任意地参加各类比赛与事件。你将用你自己的办法来得到更好的车辆，并探索整个城市。
游戏气氛紧张的不容眨眼
说到车辆，Criterion采用了“猫捉老鼠”的方式来解锁它们。当你赢取一项赛事之后，仅仅是“赢得”一款新车，然而这并不代表你可以直接从车库里选择驾驶它。反之，你只是可以从天堂市的路上看到该款车出现而已，想要真正的据为己有，需要你想尽各种办法将它“Take Out”。只有你“干掉”它之后，它才是你的。如果你选择对它们置之不理，不久你就会发现天堂市满大街都是超乎寻常的车在游走了。
职业生涯是通过不断比赛来逐渐提升等级的。当你完成越来越多的赛事之后，你的对手也会越来越具有实力。当你完成越来越多的野蛮驾驶之后，你在后期的赛事里就需要“干掉”越来越多的对手。最初，你会以初学者的身份上路，完成一定的赛事之后，就会得到D执照，在这之后，便是目标C执照的争取，以此类推。
除此之外，撞车模式也比之前有了不小的改变。比起前作，除了一个又一个的路口等待着车祸的酝酿之外，你还可以随时通过按下LB+RB键来开启“撞车时间”模式。这时，你的车即会开始在路上翻滚，所有你触碰到的一切都会毁于一旦。当你撞击其他对手车辆时，你的加速槽即会随之增长，你可以消耗加速槽来使你的车辆飚得更快。公共汽车是这里唯一可以令你的加速槽翻倍的车辆，有了它，一次车祸中令430多辆车同时报废便不再是梦想。我们起初在设计游戏时并没有加入这一点，但是随着后期的不断积累，这种乐趣逐渐浮出了水面。
同时，也有一些我们还并不满意的设计。我们无法跳回到一场比赛的开始(猜测可能是同类游戏中的Restart选项)。如果在你的一次比赛中已横跨半个天堂市时，因为某些原因你不得不重新开始这场比赛的话，你不得不乖乖的驶回起点重新激活赛事。我们把它理解成为无Loading时间的一种代价吧。
这种速度下的碰撞结果只有一个
抛开这些不说，线上游戏的相关操作会非常酷。按下十字键的右箭头则开启线上模式，在该功能下，你可以邀请好友至你的比赛。当你凑齐一组赛手的时候，你可以有多种配置可以选择。你可以自订一场属于你自己的赛事，甚至可以通过天堂市的鸟瞰图设定起点、终点与沿途需经过的每个路口。
除此之外，你可以根据参赛车辆的数量不同来选择不同类型的挑战方式。例如，双人玩家参赛与三人玩家参赛就有不同的方式，所有这些挑战方式都颇为新颖。双人模式可以在一座悬吊桥的两侧，设置两名玩家相向行驶，并在腾空的一瞬间相撞；而三人模式则可以在两名玩家像过山车那样作滚筒式行驶时，第三名玩家从中间的圆环腾空飞驰而过。这动作有些难度，因为这种表演除了加速之外，还需要一些周密的计划。
就此看来，Burnout Paradise已带给我们足够多的乐趣与惊喜。游戏运行过程中画面流畅，并保留了前面诸代作品速度感操作感兼并的优点。游戏将于1月底上市，同时现已提供Demo下载，所以敬请有兴趣的玩家紧密关注。：）Review
January 16, 2008 - Criterion Games' Burnout franchise has now long been the king of arcade racing. Its tight controls and overwhelming sense of speed have catapulted it to the top of the genre, and few games have come even close to matching the series' strengths. But while Criterion has garnered tons of praise from both gamers and critics alike, the studio never sits still. With every release, the developer tweaks the core formula in an attempt to offer something new to gamers.
Burnout Paradise sees what are arguably the biggest changes in the franchise's history, with nearly every single aspect of the game having seen some sort of shift in design. Some of it works really well, and some of it not so well, but what we wind up with still remains an intense, blazingly fast and perfectly controlling racer, one that you shouldn't miss.
The biggest change introduced in Burnout Paradise is the move to an open world, the streets of Paradise City (cue Guns 'N' Roses title track). The entire city is open at the start of the game, with the idea being that you can do whatever you want, whenever you want. Not all of the events are present at the start, mind you, and you'll have to put in a lot of time to unlock the game's roughly 75 cars, but you're never limited in the options before you.
There are bits of good and bad to this. The good is that the city design is great, offering up plenty of varying spots for you to race in and tons of hidden areas to find. There is no shortage of tucked away passages, underground runs and all sorts of cool spots to hit. You'll find jumps littered everywhere, including small ramps with kickers on the side to send you into a barrel roll, which are great for the Stunt runs (which we'll come back to in a bit).
The main downtown area of Paradise City is very reminiscent of the downtown tracks in the last couple games, while the western section of the city harkens back to the long, winding, countryside courses of past games as well. A couple of highways will put you dead in the middle of traffic and give you plenty of road to get up to speed on.
Paradise City is very dense, especially the eastern, downtown section, offering you a myriad of ways to get through a race. When a race starts, you simply must race from point A to point B as fast as you can, along whatever route you want. While this means that you're given the freedom to create your own course, it also means that you'll be stopping the action and referring to the map fairly often to make sure that you don't take any wrong turns. Since there are so many different tunnels, highways and such to take, it can be easy to make a wrong turn and wind up going off course for a bit. Until you've memorized the bulk of the map, which given its complexity, will take quite a long time, you'll likely have to pause and check the map two or three times during a race to make sure that you're on the right path.
There's an in-game indicator of where the finish line is, but it just points in the compass direction and doesn't help with turns or anything of that sort. This is understandable to a degree since Criterion (rightfully so) wants you to create your own routes and not rely on what it thinks you should do, but it does mean that you'll be at the mercy of the pause screen until memory starts taking over.
Another downside to the overall design of the open world setup is that you cannot simply pause and restart an event. This means that if you race from one side of the map to the other, which you will often do, you'll need to turn around and drive all the way back to the starting point to try again if you lose. While this sounds, and can be, annoying, changing the way that you approach the game helps to overcome this for the most part. Knowing that this was the case, instead of trying to perfect every event as we went along, like we've done in the past, we instead tried an event and, regardless of the outcome, just tried something else nearby when it was over. Playing this way makes for a much more organic experience and will help greatly in lessening the annoyance of not being able to quickly restart, though if you're aiming for a 100% completion rating then you will inevitably have to drive back to the starting line when you're down to the last few events in the game.
Of course, races aren't the only event type to be found in Paradise City. Of everything in the game, it's perhaps Road Rage that has seen the smallest amount of change, which is perfectly fine by us. The only major difference this time around is that instead of having three target cars at any one time, you'll now have five or six at a time to take down. It's a small change, but Road Rage is even more chaotic now because of it as you'll see more cars than ever before crashing in front of you and flying over your windshield. We still can't get enough of it.
The Crash mode of old is essentially gone, replaced by Showtime events. Rather than racing up to a streetlight and spinning your wheels to begin it like most every other event, Showtime can be started at any time (even as you're already crashing) by hitting two shoulder buttons. Your car will immediately begin flipping and you'll start racking up a score for the street that you started the Showtime on. While the street that you begin the event on is where your score will apply to, you can actually flip and crash across the entirety of Paradise City if you're good enough.
There are major differences between Showtime and the Crash events of old, however. You can keep your crash going so long as you keep moving, which you can prolong by bouncing your car if you have some boost. Boost is earned every time you hit a car, which also increases your score, of course. However, you only earn points for cars that you actually hit, not those that crash around you, and you only earn multipliers for hitting busses. The bus-only multiplier thing is disappointing because you can go for 10 minutes without seeing a bus during one Showtime, but start another and hit a handful right away, thereby giving you exponentially more points simply because of randomized luck.
Regardless of that, there isn't a whole lot of skill involved in the Showtimes, aside from seeing how absurdly long you can keep it going. But the required scores are easy as pie to hit, and since there's no planning or anything involved in what you're doing, it feels like most of the challenge (and thereby fun) of the old Crash modes is gone.
Showtime events are coupled with timed runs for each street. If you head to one of the ends of any road in the game and start driving on it, a counter will begin ticking up that shows you your time. It's a very simple and very natural way of including time trials in the game, and as simple as it is, it works really well.
Stunt events are the freshest addition to the Burnout formula, tasking you to rack up a certain amount of points in a given timeframe. While you'll earn points for sliding around turns and boosting, you'll only earn valuable multipliers for jumping off ramps, crashing through gates or performing a barrel roll, which gives you double goodness. It's a pretty awesome event that'll have you screaming down streets, looking for just one more ramp to hit to help keep your combo alive. The only downside here has to do with the different types of cars you can choose and how they affect a Stunt event's difficulty...
Each of the 70+ cars in the game falls into a certain category, either Stunt, Speed or Aggression. The Aggression vehicles are large and heavy, perfect for Road Rage, but not so much for events that require agility. Cars with the Stunt classification are designed to be good for jumps and drifting, and most resemble the rides that you'll find in past Burnout games. Speed cars specialize in excessive boosting as they allow you to chain together Burnouts to keep your boost going forever, but they have a downside in that you can only start a boost when your meter is full.
Having to wait until your boost meter is full means that the Speed cars are more finicky during races, though the payoff on long straightaways can be greater. But during Stunt events they wind up being terrible picks since a quick tap of the Boost in any other vehicle will immediately extend your combo meter. In a Stunt or Aggression car, you can take a jump for points, cruise for a bit while looking for your next jump, and then tap the boost for just a second when your combo is about to expire to extend it. Not so in the Speed cars. This boosting difference would make more sense if the Speed cars were noticeably faster than the other types, but they're not.
One pretty cool thing relating to the vehicles in the game is how you earn them. When you get a new license, you'll be rewarded with a new ride in your junkyard for driving immediately. All of the other cars, however, have to be taken down first. When you &unlock& a car after an event, it will then appear somewhere in Paradise City and drive around on its own. In order to fully earn it, you have to find said car and then take it down. Like our approach to event selection, we found this to be best when we didn't bother hunting them down after unlocking them, but instead kept doing our thing while keeping our eyes peeled. Then when a car crossed our path, we'd drop everything and head out with a new ride in our headlights. It's a pretty awesome mechanic that helps instill life into Paradise City.
Perhaps the most well-implemented addition to the franchise is the way that online play works. Instead of having to jump out to a separate menu to get online, invite friends to your game, set up challenges or whatever else, all of this is manageable in-game with the D-Pad. Pressing right on the D-Pad opens up the online menu where you can then hop online, invite friends to your game, set up race events or whatever else you want, all while your engine is still running.
When a friend or two (or seven) hop on, you have a number of options. You can create a custom race where you can set start and end points and drop any number of checkpoints onto the map. You can even save these routes for play later on so that you don't have to keep making them. You can also start a Freeburn Challenge of some sort. There are 50 challenges for each number of players in the game. In other words, there are 50 challenges for two player, 50 different challenges for three players, and so on and so forth, giving you an absolute ton of Freeburn runs to complete (yes, 100% completion will take a long time). These are as simple as having two players race from opposite sides of an open bridge and crashing in mid-air to having every player do a barrel roll through a hoop. They're all good fun and give you tons of different things to do.
Regardless of everything we've talked about, the most important part of any Burnout game, and the reason they've been so successful in the past, is simply how well (and fast) the driving mechanics work. Criterion has nailed the formula once again, offering gamers the pinnacle of arcade racing mechanics with cars that control exactly how you would expect them to, with the perfect amount of inferred weight sent to the player. As well, the sense of speed we've seen in the past is here 110%, with roadside objects blurring by your outside mirrors at uncountable speeds.
Lastly, it's worth mentioning that Criterion has also once again delivered a game that runs incredibly smooth and sounds fantastic. The game runs at a blistering 60fps, which ties perfectly with its controls, and it looks impressive at that. The crash effects are fantastic, slowing down to show you your crumpling wreck as the steering wheel is shoved into the driver's seat. Were there a virtual driver sitting there, he'd be dead.
Closing Comments
Burnout Paradise has its share of flaws, but it's also incredibly fun. The change to an open world brought its share of issues, like having to use the map as a crutch to get around for a while, but it also allows for freedom unseen in any recent racing game. Most importantly though, Criterion has once again delivered a racing experience that can best be described as controlled chaos, one where even crashing is immensely rewarding. If you're even a remote fan of racing games, be sure to check this out.Preview
It's no secret that Criterion Games likes to reinvent things every time out. Though many deemed Burnout 3: Takedown to be pretty much perfection, the studio went ahead and changed a lot of things with its follow-up, Burnout Revenge. And now with Burnout Paradise, the studio has made even more sweeping changes to the design.
For starters, the entire game is set in the open world of Paradise City, and the whole thing is unlocked right from the start. You can partake in any race or event that you want, and there are no off-limit sections of the city. You'll have to work your way through the game to get better cars, of course, but the city is yours for exploring right away.
Speaking of the cars, Criterion has taken a &cat and mouse& approach to unlocking them. When you win an event that &earns& you a new ride, it doesn't go straight into your junkyard for selection. Instead, you'll be able to see said vehicle racing around Paradise City and it's then your job to take it out any way possible. Once you've performed a Takedown on the vehicle, it's yours. If you choose to let them run free like marmots in the wild you'll soon find Paradise City filled with exotic cars for the taking.
Career progression works by way of a numbers game. That is, the more races you complete, the better and faster your opponents will be. The more Road Rages you complete, the more cars you'll have to take down in later events and so on and so forth. You start off with a learner's permit and after completing a handful of races you'll be given your D license. A while later with more races under your belt and you'll work up to your C license, and so on.
Something else that's changed quite a bit is Crash mode. Rather than having individual intersections set up and awaiting your destruction, you instead start a Crash Showtime at any point by pressing two shoulder buttons at the same time. Your car will then begin tumbling down the highway, taking out whatever you can manage to smash into. You earn boost for each vehicle you hit, which you can then spend to bounce your car a bit, keeping you on the move at all times. Busses are the only vehicles that will give you a multiplier here, which makes sense considering that we've been able to rack up a 430+ car Crash Showtime outing. We weren't sold on this new design at first, but it's getting more enjoyable as our skills increase.
One element of the design that we're not too fond of so far is the inability to jump to the start of a race. If you enter a race that takes you halfway across Paradise City and wind up failing, in order to try again you'll have to drive yourself back to the start. There is no quick skip option, which is a trade-off for having no load times once the game begins.
What's awesome, however, is the online interface. Pressing right on the D-Pad will bring up your online display, letting you invite friends into your game. When you've got a group together, you have a number of options at your disposal. You can create a custom race where you'll be given an overhead map of Paradise City, allowing you to place the start and finish and any checkpoints you'd like in-between at any intersection on the map.
Alternatively, you can begin any number of challenges that are specifically designed for the number of cars that you have. So, for instance, the challenges for two players are different than challenges for three, and all of the challenges that we tried were pretty awesome. One had two of us approach a raised bridge from either side and crash head-on while airborne. Another had us perform a series of barrel rolls, while a third had us taking a giant jump through a hanging ring. This last one was cool because getting through the hoop requires a bit of planning and acts as something of a small puzzle of sorts.
We've had a great deal of fun with Burnout Paradise so far. The game runs smooth as silk and retains the blazing-fast speed and spot-on controls of its predecessors. The game ships next month, but the demo is but mere days away from its December 13th release, so stay tuned..
