Burnout Paradise Remastered Reviews
Burnout Paradise is one of the greatest racing games ever made, and time has done little to dull its beauty.
While nothing made by humans has yet to withstand the test of time indefinitely, Burnout Paradise Remastered managed to escape the last decade with only a few wrinkles here or there.
Burnout Paradise Remastered still offers one of the best playgrounds to speed and smash through over a decade later, fueled by a smooth presentation, abundance of cars and an engaging soundtrack.
The upsides to the game heavily outweigh the downsides though; not only is this Burnout at its best, but the sprawling open world of Paradise City gives so many different ways to race and routes to take that eventually you’ll be cruising the city knowing all the shortcuts like the back of your hand. The game misses certain features we’ve become accustomed to, like being able to place waypoints on maps, but other features it is missing would take away from the game – for instance, fast-travel to locations would add loading times that you really forget aren’t actually there once you’ve been playing for a bit.
It's been 10 years, and Burnout Paradise is as good as it was for the first time on PS3. If someone has missed arcade racing games, Burnout Paradise Remastered is the best choice.

Burnout Paradise is unarguably a stellar racing game and it paved the way for the likes of Forza to do what it has done with its Horizon franchise, so for that there'll always be a place in my heart for it. It's a tough sell for returning veterans as the visual buffs are minimal and the game itself is unchanged. Though if you were too young and didn't get to play Paradise, there's enough here, especially with all of the extra content on-disc, to justify the price of admission.
Overall, Burnout Paradise is a great experience and a very fine addition to the racing game scene on the Nintendo Switch. It’s a solid choice for those looking for a change from the Mario Kart like sphere and it’s a game I highly recommend you try.
Burnout Paradise Remastered gains previously unavailable content and graphics enhancements, while maintaining the original's chaotic and engaging racing experience.
With a successful artistic design coupled with the fun of its excellent arcade playability make it very appealing. However, to be great it lacks charisma, because graphically it doesn't impress outside of Xbox One X, and it doesn't bring enough new features.

Wild, adequately beautiful and a reminder of what a real need for speed truly feels like. Burnout Paradise Remastered may not be essential for anyone who has already spent many an afternoon committing its many and shortcuts streets to memory, but as an example of how racing games can fuse euphoria and momentum into one packed package of V8 action? It's the original benchmark that hasn't a single ounce of torque.
Players who ran through the game on PlayStation 3 or elsewhere will be put off by the lack of meaningful upgrades, and that's entirely understandable. The problem is that nothing here really adds to what already existed. The saving grace is that things haven't gone the other way, either. Burnout Paradise holds up, and if nothing else, you can now experience one of the top arcade franchises in the business on your PlayStation 4.
It may not be the ground-up remake that other modern classics have been treated to, and you will likely be left disappointed at the minor overhaul the visuals have been given, but this is still a superb open-world racing game that feels like it'll be loved by fans of the original as well as new players jumping in for the very first time. It may sound cliched, but they simply don't make them like this any more.
Despite showing its age in occasional places, the purity and simplicity of Burnout's arcade racing is as refreshing now as it was when the title was first released.
The game manages to be more relevant today than 10 years ago. It's really fun, and we are glad to be back in Paradise City again! Can't wait to see what happens next in the series.

There is nothing quite like Burnout Paradise and I hope the series makes a full return with a proper sequel in the near future.
It didn't take much to fall back in love with Paradise's care-free attitude, an open invitation to embrace my inner speed demon
On the title's tenth anniversary, Burnout Paradise Remastered is a timely reminder that – like Avril Lavigne – this arcade racer can still do it better than all of its contemporaries. Seriously, there's no other like it, so when's it going to sink in? The only real downside is that the pricing's stupid – what the hell is EA thinkin'?
Burnout Paradise Remastered is like a finely-tuned vintage car – sure, it's quirky and a bit archaic, but those concerns melt away once you get behind the wheel and rev that engine. Blasting around Paradise City is exciting, rewarding, and a great low-stress tonic for when modern game design gets you down. Oh, you'll be pleased to take this one home.
The much-loved racing game returns with a revamp that makes you feel as if you're in the best Fast and Furious movie ever made
The essence of Burnout Paradise is still intact in its remastered version for the Nintendo Switch, from the positive points such as the fun of doing a takedown, to the negative ones such as the looped repetition of the Guns N 'Roses song.
