GameSpy's Burnout Paradise Demo Impressions

Criterion's claim to fame lies in the Burnout series. Black aside, the team has always been motivated to bring gamers a fetishistic view of car crashes without delving into creepy Cronenberg territory. Whether it was Burnout 3's accessible gameplay or Revenge's twists on multiplayer, the developer enjoys accentuating the best and worst of humanity's competitive streaks in its games. Burnout Paradise, the first game built for HD systems, aims to rise above its predecessors in that regard. You'll be able to judge for yourself next week as the demo releases in the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace; GameSpy have installed it and put in a fair amount of time on it.

A few more days to go. I've been listening to Criterion's podcast and I'm hyped about this game. No loading at all, huge free roaming city at 60fps in 720P. Yummy.

Ok i respect that. it sounds like you re rubbish at Burnout?

It is true in my case when i started playing Burnout 1, but the more i play, the more enjoyment i received from the burnout series.

I enjoyed Online more because you dont know what to expect. Taking people down is funny and fun.
