Burnout Paradise Is A Fantastic Game

Business.

Review of xbox's "burnout paradise" on my hdtv - burnout paradise is a fantastic game! Of course to view this in HD you need to have a HDTV. Something that you might want to know is how great this game looks in HD.

Once you have that you can just plug your Xbox 360 right into that and you should be ready to go. - but there are some changes to this game compared to the others. If you have played a Burnout game in the past, Burnout Paradise should seem very familiar to you. There are no more menus to set up races any more. Personally I do not care for this and find it kind of annoying to do races. Basically what you have is a free roam environment to drive around in. Think of it as the Need for Speed series.

Once you do that the event starts. - what you do to start a race or another type of event is drive up to any stop light and hold down both triggers. But lets say it is a race, you start the event like normal and there is a place on the map where you have to drive to. There is however a compass in the upper middle of the screen but it is a pain to be looking up there to know where to turn when you are going so fast. But unlike the other Burnout games it is not a closed in race if you accidently take a wrong turn you are screwed. Other than that there are no real problems with the game.

So as you win races you get points on your license and the more you win the more your license will upgrade. - as you drive around paradise city you can go over jumps or crash through bill boards to earn your self some achievements. Another thing I will have to mention is the multiplayer aspect of the game. From there you can search for online matches or join a free roam type of game. At anytime when you are playing the single player you can hit left on the directional pad to bring up a small menu on the lower left hand corner of your HDTV screen. When you join it you are right where you left off on the single player but now through out the city there are other players driving around and crashing.

Another thing that all Burnouts have is of course the crashes. - its pretty cool once you use it and see how convenient it all is. As I have said earlier, this game looks so much better on a HDTV than it does in standard definition. You will have fun just getting up to high speeds to ram your car into things to watch how it breaks apart. Watching your car flip around like a Mexican jumping bean as you smash into other cars or just sides of building at over one hundred mph looks so great on my HDTV! The detail on the cars as they crash is quite impressive.

I have spent a couple hours my self smashing my car into buildings or throwing it off of cliffs to see what would happen. - you have wheels, windshields, bumpers, and just about any little or main piece of the car flying off of it as you smash into things. So if your a fan or just getting into the Burnout Series I would recommend getting a HDTV first for the full potential this game offers!
