Main Game Features

Gameplay

Sticking with what made the series popular, Burnout Paradise Remastered offers gameplay very similar to other games in the Burnout racing franchise, with straightforward arcade-style racing that pushes the limits of reality. Starting with a scrappy car at the Paradise City junkyard, your main objective is to increase your driver's license grade, which is done by winning various events around the city. Destruction plays a big factor in competition, as you are encouraged to side-swipe and t-bone your opponents at any chance possible. Crashes are satisfying and intense, displayed in slow-motion to amplify the destruction.

As you complete events around the city and raise your driver's license level, you'll also unlock new cars to drive. However, before test driving one of your new rides, you'll have to hunt down a frenzied driver somewhere in the city and wreck them, finally unlocking the vehicle for use. There are over 75 cars to unlock in the base game, including everything from sports and muscle cars to motorcycles and emergency vehicles. There are also tons of open-world activities to complete, such as billboards that must be smashed through and stunt jumps that send you soaring through the air.

Modes

The speedy, simple gameplay is applied to several different modes and types of events, which provide a fun variety of ways to race. While exploring the map, you'll find standard races, stunt runs, takedown events, as well as other time-trial events. These events can be enjoyed either solo against computer-controlled opponents or online, where you'll battle against real players from around the world. There's also an online free-roam mode where you can link up with seven other players and explore the map or race at your leisure. A long list of 500 online challenges can also be pursued with your party, requiring anything from cooperative races to drifting and stunt jumps. The “Big Surf Island” DLC is also included in the Burnout Paradise Remastered package, which adds a brand new map for players to explore. This sunny coastal island is perfect for wacky driving antics and off-road fun, while adding a few new vehicle types and challenges for good measure.

Conclusion

Burnout Paradise Remastered is an awesome version of the fantastic open-world racing game, which offers loads of fast cars, enjoyable events, and online compatibility. When compared to other modern racing games, the controls will feel a little slippery at first, but the sense of speed is astronomical.
