Just got my copy of Burnout Paradise! I was always a big fan of Burnout, and of course i wont miss Burnout for anything in the next gen console(ops should be current gen console now).
Got 2 copy from Bernard from Gamers Solution, one for myself and another for my fren which i will takedown his vehicle when he gets his copy! I got the Asian Version since it is way more cheaper and also faster to get here in Malaysia, for a price of RM155 i think is quite worth!
For those that are concern about the manual and other printed stuff in chinese, dun worry this Asian region manual book and other printed stuff are near 90% in English! Besides that the design of the BD and the inner cover seems to be way more plain than any other PS3 game i owned.......Maybe this is one of the reason it is cheaper!
When you first login to the game you are required to download an update patch ver1.10 and this was fast considering this game official launch date for Asia was 22
nd of Jan! By the way the size of the patch is just around 13mb.
The game has no menu and when you enter the game it will bring you through a short intro to the City and after that you get your CrashFM DJ taking you to the junkyard to claim your ride. That was fast.......
The trash car i was mentioning about! It is the same as the Demo release earlier! This time you can get new ride by wining certain races and then unlock a car that will drive around paradise city automatically! When you see that car take it down (destroy it) and the rides is yours, quite innovative.
You will get your license to crash (drive) at first, it will used your PSN avatar for the license photo but if you got a USB camera, you make take your own photo and place it up there! And when you get takedown or takedown someone, the pic will be shown to the other players! You will want to have some memorable stuff from your foe!
The City view of Paradise city, it looks kind of small here but you will definitely get lost in this city! I lost a few race due to wrong turn and wrong shortcut.
Graphic is stunning especially the effect of the crashes, it is superb!!! And wat more surprising is the online gameplay does not required you to leave the game and enter certain chat room, you just press the right arrow on your controller, it will prompt a in game menu where you can select your friends that are online and playing the game currently and join them!
This is a racing game that you shouldnt missed and a really must get game for PS3 and also Xbox360 user! Go get it now and start burning!
