![]() Once you complete enough events you are given a license upgrade and all the events you previously beat are open for you to try again. They pretty much give you all the events from the start and you can choose which ones you want to do to get credit for completing them. ![]() Burnout Paradise also doesn’t force you to do one event after another in a set order. You can start another event and head back across the map where you can try the previous event you lost after maybe winning another one. Also, not being able to restart really doesn’t bother me, since after the race is over if you lose there is another race or event on the map a block or two away. Some people have complained about Burnout Paradise not having a retry/restart option, but with the ability to get out of any race whenever you want using “Showtime” mode helps. This can be a pain sometimes, but I also found after playing the game for a few hours, that if you find yourself totally behind and you don’t think you are going to win the race you can just initiate “Showtime” mode and start crashing into people and this takes you automatically out of the race or event. The only problem with this that can cause frustration is that some times you can get lost or you may get on a highway and get stuck where you can’t find an off ramp or other means of exiting the freeway until after you have passed the goal on the map. Your cars blinker also flashes to indicate which way to turn, but if you miss the first turn you can always go to the next. Burnout Paradise will try to help you by flashing a road sign at the top of the screen to the left or the right based on which way it feels you should go. ![]() After showing you the map you are taken directly into the race where you can choose your route as you drive and crash your way to the finish line.Ĭhoosing your path to the finish is part of the fun, since you can use any road or shortcut to get there. Burnout Paradise has very minimal load time and even that doesn’t seem out of place, since during this loading the game is showing you the start and finish line on the map for the event. Well, I was wrong, and driving from event to event in Burnout Paradise’s Paradise City isn’t annoying like I thought it would be, in fact it is a lot of fun! One of the things different than the demo is that you have tons of points on the map to race from, and to start a race you just pull up to any traffic light on the map and hit “Gas” and “Brake” at the same time and you are instantly taken into the race or other events. This is what I did in Need for Speed Most Wanted and Carbon and wanted to do the same in Burnout Paradise after playing the demo. I was hoping that they would include an optional menu system similar to the recent Need for Speed games that let you skip the driving from point to point and go right to the next race. I felt that it would be a pain and I didn’t want to drive around to get from race to race or other events. I was worried about the open world idea that Criterion Games built into Burnout Paradise. I have to admit, I was completely wrong about Burnout Paradise after playing the demo and posting the comment under the Burnout Paradise Demo Released news post here on.
