First off, to address all the people that didn't recommend the game due to the fact the game closes after the initial intro ends and the DMV loading screen happens: DISABLE THE EA IN-GAME OVERLAY. On the EA app, just click on your profile pic > Settings > Applications > scroll down to where you see "In-game overlay" and just click the slider to disable it. If the slider is grayed out (like it was for me), MAKE SURE YOU'RE "ONLINE". I always set my profile to Invisible and that's why it was grayed out for me. The second I chose "Online", I could click the slider to disable the in-game overlay. If this doesn't work for you, there are gobs of other solutions in the search results. Reddit, the Burnout discord, EA forums, etc.

I found this out via a quick Google search. Some of y'all encounter an issue and just throw your hands up in defeat. Just use some critical thinking skills. Now, should you even HAVE to do anything of this to play the game? OF COURSE NOT, EA IS A SOUP SANDWICH. HOWEVER, don't write the entire game off and give up because you can't do a split second search for the solution(s).

Anywho, onto the game.

I'm an OG Burnout fan, the first two were fun, played them at a friends' house. But when Burnout 3: Takedown came out, I remember playing a demo of it at Walmart back when they had a controller and tv station to test stuff out. I was SO damn hooked. Because of that game alone, I begged my mom for a PS2. I traded in my N64 with a ton of games and I think my GameCube as well to go towards purchasing the PS2. Takedown and Burnout: Revenge were just so much fun. They came out when I was in high school but life happened some time after and while I knew of the other Burnout games, I don't think I ever played them.

So, this is the first Burnout game since Burnout: Revenge that I've played. While it doesn't have the same magic as Takedown and Revenge, it's still fun! What got me into Burnout was the act of ramming other rival racers and watching them crash in slow motion. Burnout Paradise still has that which is why I automatically like it. I just love that game mechanic so much. The wrecks are fun to watch and wrecking yourself is cool too and you recover in a timely manner. I've only scratched the surface of the game, but there's a lot to do. The map is a decent size, tons of different vehicles (I mean really, there's a wide variety of funky cars), and great soundtrack (so nice seeing an Alice in Chains song pop up).

There's some minor things here and there I don't care for, but overall I'm happy with my purchase ($15 would be a better price though). It's an entertaining game that scratches some of the Burnout itch I've missed for almost two decades now. I'm still praying Burnout: Takedown gets a remaster or the series in general gets a reboot. To me they're the GOATs of destructive driving. Crash mode was insanely fun as well.

Il est très compliquer de démarrer le jeux ( je n'est pas réussit car il faut passé par EA( un équivalent de steam) car EA passe au dessus de steam et du coup sa ne marche pas.

Burnout Paradise est un bon jeu. Le seul problème qui n'est pas des moindres, c'est le fait de DEVOIR MODDER LE JEU POUR POUVOIR LE LANCER SANS CRASH BORDEL. (Pour ceux qui ont un problème lors du lancement essayez BPRModder et installez le mod "Core Bugfixes")
