Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise is an arcade racing game set in an open world called Paradise City, a departure from the fixed tracks of earlier Burnout games. Players roam the city freely and start events by pulling up to intersections, choosing their own routes to each finish line rather than following set courses. The series' emphasis on high speed and spectacular crashes returns through features such as the Showtime mode, which lets players trigger a crash sequence anywhere at any time. Completing events raises the player's driver rank and unlocks new cars, and an online system supports additional cooperative and competitive modes. The game was the first Burnout title released on Windows, and it was later remastered. Its updates added the Big Surf Island district, the Cops and Robbers online mode, motorbikes and a party mode in which players pass the controller around to complete challenges. Online play supports both co-op and PvP, and the game can also be played alone.
