With so much focus on violent, M-rated games, parents are oblivious to the supposedly kid-friendly E-rated ones. After all, if something has an E stamped on its box, it contains stuff appropriate for all ages, right? Not exactly. Here's a list of E for Everyone games that may cause as much damage as the bloody ones.
Met with derision from existing Burnout-series fans at the time, Burnout Paradise remains arguably the greatest open-world racing game of all time. Here's why.
I don't know why - and I know I'm probably on my own here - but I liked Takedown more. I think it was just 'different' enough to feel fresh. I also loved the destruction.
On that note, a new Motorstorm would be nice! All that mud, dust and car pieces flying everywhere blew my mind on PS3 - imagine what they could do now.
I loved Burnout Paradise, but Burnout 3: Takedown will always be the best game in the series, for me. Burnout 3 is arguably the most fun game ever made, with the greatest licensed soundtrack ever.
I played through the remaster quite recently. It's not as good as I remember, but I think a lot of that is because the "open world" thing was still pretty fresh back then.
I do think there's a gap in the market for a game like Burnout. With the new gen they could really make car damage a huge selling point again.
Burnout paradise remastered and original are my favorite, i got the platinum trophy for both games the nighthawk is my favorite car
Personally don't give a shit for open world racers. Give me a new Motorstorm, Split second, Outrun.
Cultured Vultures: The Burnout series has plenty of great games to play, but which one is definitively the best? We're here to rank them all.
I think the crash mode should comeback. Tryng to make the most damage was very cool.
Burnout 2 should be above 3 imo. The aftertouch takedown mechanic slowed down the gameplay too much in 3.
That's the mechanic that made me enjoy Burnout 3 over the others. It wasn't until they introduced it that I considered the series any good.
I love Takedown, Revenge, and Paradise. Dominator was okay, but it clearly felt like a B-tier game.
After playing those awesome games, I went back to try out part 1 and it was rough. I didn't like the controls (whereas the others felt perfect to me), the elevator music was generic and not enjoyable to listen to.
Finally the game's difficulty was extremely high. I could beat all single player races in Takedown, Revenge, Paradise, Dominator, but could not get first place in the very first race for the first Burnout game. It demands perfection and one slight mistake is all it takes to lose. I have yet to play part 2, but I'm hoping it's more like part 3 than part 1.
Burnout Takedown is my favorite racing game of all time. My wife was addicted to crash mode.
No more Need For Speed, it's time to bring back Burnout.

Its long long overdue but the problem is its just not a big money spinner. Thats why EA ditched it. Alex Ward has gone his own way with Three Fields Entertainment & made Dangerous Driving but its very low budget.
Each game gets closer and closer to being good. It's kind of painful how close they are. haha. I hope Dangerous Driving 2 being open world isn't too ambitious for them and it's a polished, fun 7.5-8/10.
Maybe not, but if a quality title in the reigns released now days...People do pay more attention to reviews comparitively
Burnout with real life car mechanic costs sounds about right if you want EA to go for it.
Here's the thing, EA is sitting on so many great IPs i would like to return, but at the same thing i feel like modern EA would find a way to ruin it. Besides Respawn, EA hasn't dropped anything good for almost 2 generations IMO.
"almost 2 generations" What? Are you talking about the PS3 and the 360?
I agree with the general sentiment that their catalogue of games since the PS4/XB1 has been comparatively terrible to what they used to do though.
Absolutely loved these games back in the day. Paradise was good too but didn't quite have the feel of the old games
These games are all dangerous, special Rayman Raving Rabbids which can turn our poor children into mindless carrot eating screaming rabbids!
Just the look of rabbids is enough to give me nightmares. I shudder whenever I see them. I can't believe it is a game which is marketed to children. I want to go hide in between my mattress, the monsters always look under the overs and under the bed, but never in the mattress.
But the comments on the web site are funnier. The first 5 clearly doesn't get the joke at all;)
single handidly one of the best video game names ever
I'm glad this is a joke. Are you trying to tell me Mario is dangerous to kids? For goodness' sake, kids can use their imaginations to come up with far scarier stuff.
Although, now that I think of it, Battalion Wars II (cousin of sorts to Advance Wars) does have a blatant and somewhat scary disregard for a soldier's life. I felt odd playing it, when the commanders were so happy you made it through, but you lost half of your battalion. "Looks like you're out of infantry! Try to find some POWs!" Or when you lost, "I suppose I'll inform their mothers." :/
