What the **** was that?!!??, 19 Oct 2008
Burnout - simple really...get a car...smash the heck out of it...WITH YOUR MATES!!!!
This?...no 2 player mode...CRIMINAL!!!!
No it feels like Need for Speed...and what's the point of that?!!??
Save your money...and play Burnout Revenge.
An amazing title! Brilliant, fast and sheer metal crunching bliss!, 22 Sep 2008
Burnout Paradise takes all the best elements of the previous Burnout titles and makes one of the best free roaming, car crashing racers availiable today!
You compete in any event of your choice by pulling up to any set of traffic lights and peeling out to begin a race. There are several racing types which are great fun but can get a little tiresome after a while in single player. Online is definately the best way to enjoy Paradise City whether with friends or total strangers!
The game is daunting to begin with, especially with all the possible routes to take. But once you get the hang of the city, it becomes a whole new experience and one you'll find tricky to put down.
I personally would recommend this to any racing fan, but it does depend if you prefer rules or utter freedom.
Great Graphics but gets boring quickly, 23 Aug 2008
Graphics in this game will completely blow your mind but play it for more than 10 hours and I assure you, you will get bored. I still believe that burnout 3 was the best burnout ever, I would not recommend that you buy this game. Buy something like Gran Turismo 5 or Race Grid.
The Perfect Game, 29 Jul 2008
I bought this game and didn't start playing until six months after the day I bought it, I didnt think I will get into and I kept leaving for later...One day I was really bored and didn't have anything else to do, and that is when the addiction started...
This game is perfect, first of all the offline mode has alot of things that will keep you busy, the races, the challenges, the speeding, everything...then if for any reason you get bored of the offline mode, go online, that is when another addiction will start...there are around 350 online challenges and another new 70 online timed challenges...that is alone will kee you busy enough...
There is also another cool new feature which is playing your own soundtracks in the game, you can also check your progress online through the developers website...there is also the new trophies system which will be retroactive meaning that whatever you finished you will be rewarded for without having to play through it again...
one last thing I liked about this game is if you are intoo collecting stuff such as the billboards, jumps and smashes and u have a few of them left for you to collect, you can upload your saved file into the developer's website and they will generate a map for you directing you to where are the left items for you to go and collect, and this feature is only for the PS3 version of the game...so enjoy that PS3 lovers...
I will give this game a 5/5 stars rating, it deserves every single star...
Best Racing Game This Generation, 12 Jul 2008
Simply fantastic. The sense of speed is amazing and drifting feels so satisfying. Challenges are great and there are loads of things to do in Paradise City besides just racing. Online mode is extremely fun and the developers create some fantastic updates for you to download for FREE, for example, the update on thursday brought custom soundtrack to the game aswell as loads more cars and challenges. An update coming next month will include MOTORBIKES, pure bliss.
Excellent driving game with fantastic developer support.

I am hooked on Need for Speed!, 23 Aug 2008
Hubby bought a PS3 a few weeks ago along with the usual warfare games which being female are not for me. Got the free trial download for Prostreet Need for Speed and I decided to have a go and enjoyed it so much we bought the game. Now I am completely hooked. I just love the challenges, trying to win the races, trying not to damage the car. I really feel my adrenalin going and my heart racing.
We also bough Gran Turismo but I cannot get into that yet and find it quite boring.
I need my life back though as I cannot tear myself away from the PS3 and Need for Speed.
Next thing is a wheel as the PS3 controls are quite difficult. Problem with a wheel though is you need a stand?
Average, 14 Aug 2008
So, I was dubious about this game as I wasn't sure about the entire concept of the game, I really enjoyed the original need for speed games with the old style of gameplay. I think I was right to be dubious, the difference in style is amazing, its just not the same playing this game. What with it being legal racing and on track instead of street it doesn't seem the same. The whole style of the game has been lost.
The complicated upgrading of the cars is not something I look for in a racing game. I understand that this is probably interesting to the bigger car enthusiasts but this game really isn't about that and as I don't understand most of these concepts I don't like them in a game and I felt that I lost out by not knowing how to set the cars up.
The game does have good graphics which helps it along a bit and it does have reasonable gameplay overall but it doesn't feel like a need for speed game. If anything it just feels like a badly done version of Gran Turismo so to be honest I would probably just go and get that instead. It will have better gameplay and more realistic driving where Need For Speed feels like its lost in between arcade and simulation.
I think EA need to work out where their going with this game before they bring out another one. If they did this they might be on to a winner again but for the time being they don't seem to know where their going which is a shame because this game could have been great where I believe for now it is just average.
Not The Same, 08 Jul 2008
Firstly the title, Pro Street. Well it isn't based on streets, it's completely circuits. Everyone enjoyed Need for Speed for high speed street racing not serious track racing. Need for Speed have tried to turn their game into Gran Turismo whixh has disappointed many, including me. Although it is only £15 you just can't get into the game, especially becuase of the time it takes to set u a race. Overall i wouldn't recommend this game, maybe try Race Driver Grid.

worst ever racing game
carbon had better graphics
the only fun thin about this game is the drifts
designing car are rubish
out of all the need for speed this is worst
need for speed underground 2 the best
Quite a good game, 28 Mar 2008
Despite the bad reviews i took a punt and bought this game. Not bad. Quite fun, fast and action packed. I've not really played previous nfs titles so didn't care too much about no free roam or no police chases etc. Very similar to forza on xbox, paint jobs etc. Online seems a bit rubbish but single player is fun, drag and drift modes are great fun!

nascar 08 was good-nascar 09 is great!!, 07 Jul 2008
nascar 08 was the first nascar game to arrive on next gen-and it was good,but nascar 09 takes all that was good on nascar 08 and improves on it as follows:
better graphics
better handling/playability
excellent and challenging career mode
better car customisation and set up options
it does aid your enjoyment if you follow and understand nascar-racing in a full 43 car field on these various(mostly oval)tracks is great fun and very challenging,nascar may not be as big in the uk as formula 1(though the fan base is growing)but it is 10 times more entertaining to watch and to play-this game is a true 5 star classic!!

lets go racing,boys!!, 14 Jun 2008
the first nascar game for next gen-and a very good start,excellent graphics,all three of the major series-including the new COT-great handling and steering,the only minor grumble is that the career mode lacks depth-but a great oval racing game overall!!
Excellent - A must for NASCAR fans, 16 Dec 2007
What a great game, it is by far the best NASCAR game EA has ever made, the graphics are quality and EA have also finally managed to make the high groove work so you can run up top of down on the bottom of the track. The super speedway races are really fun with two and three wide racing all the way around the track and where the draft makes all the difference where EA havent done this in previous games.
What else is good about it is the fact you cant just go charging around the ovals you do have to take your time in traffic and watch out for everyone around and it doesnt pay to smash everyone out of the way because you dont see Jeff Gordon crashing everyone off on the real NASCAR circuit.
I have heard alot of people saying that you spin easy, however this isnt the case, you only spin if you turn the corners to hard on the exit but if you do smooth diving then you will never spin and the cars are easy to control even in the big packs of cars at Talladega and Daytona where you can run the middle lane with cars everywhere and still not crash but go foward though the field.
The game is a must buy for all NASCAR fans who would really enjoy the game and the racing. The only thing that lets the game down is Montoya on the front of the cover but the actual game is fantastic
Disappointed, 30 Sep 2007
I really wanted to like this game.BUT i don't.Don't get me wrong i love NASCAR racing and have owned every other NASCAR game on the ps1 and ps2.The graphics are excellent,however the handling of the cars is what lets this down,on the straightaway the car constantly pulls to the left(unless i had i faulty copy)i thought it may have been my controller but i changed to a spare and it made no difference,also the cars are far to twitchy even the slightest nudge from another car usually sends your car in to the wall.You probaby could improve the handling by changeing the car settings,but who can be bothered altering tire pressures and downforce etc,when you just want to race.
Oh Dear!!!, 19 Aug 2007
What a complete waste of the Royal Mail's time delivering this sorry excuse for a game to my door! Has to be the most expensive coaster around! That's all this game is good for! Believe me. A real opportunity to introduce next gen oval racing to the UK and once again EA fail to deliver! No ammount of fancy licences or pointless "Trax" could turn this into a winner. Avoid at all costs!
WARNING!, 18 Aug 2007
do not i repeat DO NOT by this game unless you loved previous versions, sure the graphics and innovations, like the slip stream and what actually is a very smooth ride with no over/understeer...... but the game is monotonous, dont get me wrong its improved but sooo boring boring boring dull dull dull dull dull ....... like F1 around a roundabout ......... Overall 35% P.S. sorry to all Nascar fans for this review :-)
