Burnout Paradise (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3)

I feel that this game is great for kids over 11 years old. The only things to worry about Burnout: Paradise are that there is a lot of violence and there are billboards with commercials including Gillette and diesel signs. This game is great unless you have a who you wouldn't trust to tell the difference between the game and real life. The only major problem in this game is cars crashing and slamming into one another

The gameplay is kinda clunky, but the cars are awesome. and i guess you could call it violent cause you have to crash a car REALLY bad to unlock it. it also has bad messages, but i would rather call it bad education, because its pretty much teaching you how to drive like a maniac and wreck other cars, which teens shouldnt see if their the ride-in-the-back-of-pickup-truck type.

The best racing game ever!Killer graphics,cool cars, it's awesome!

For those of you who have no idea what the Burnout franchise is, it is essentially an arcade racing series that started in 2002. The games contain a great sense of speed and features spectacular crashes.The main difference in Paradise is that it now has an open world whereas the others didn't. That means that in a race, you could take any route to the goal. Let me list off the events in BP. The Race event is pretty self explanatory. Road Rage is a returning event, where the goal is to destroy your opponent's cars up, and is my favorite. Marked Man is a mode where you go from point A to point B while trying not to be taken out by cars that were probably made by the British Secret Service. In Stunt Run, you basically do all kinds of stunts to rack up the most points possible. Every car you unlock has a corresponding Burning Lap, which is just a Point A to Point B run. Nothing special. Finally, there's Showtime. If you played Burnout 2,3, or 4, you know that there is a crash mode where you make the biggest traffic pile-up possible. Showtime is the replacement of Crash Mode, where you hit a couple buttons and start destroying cars. You just hit a button and keep plowing into these cars and is so incredibly entertaining. It's the most "objectionable" part of the game, so if you're having trouble deciding if it's appropriate for your children, I'd recommend checking out a YouTube video or something. Lastly, there are the updates you can get if your PS3/X360 is hooked up to the internet. These include new online events, motorbikes, and a day/night cycle. Now that I'm finished rambling on about the game, is it the best Burnout game? The answer is: No. Burnout 3 for the PS2/Xbox (and the Xbox 360 via the Marketplace) is the best Burnout title. But nonetheless, this game is a must own in your gaming library.

I Beleave That Burnout Paradise is an Fun, Addicting game for Teens-Adults, Online can be a bit harsh due to adults cussing each other out, its quite funny sometimes,But sometimes People talk about Important Things, Anyway, I have Made a Mental Map (I know i play a lot) Of where everything is, So it will help with memory Sure the Wrecks should kill you, Luckily there is no actual humans walking or driving

This is an awesome, fast, adrenaline fueled racer. There are NO people anywhere in the city so running people over like in GTA is not an issue.

I don't know why they say it's only good for 17+ it's easy fun and it's just a game it's a way to have fun on your spare time

GREAT game i love it! It also makes it easier to teach kids how to NOT drive if you talk about how the driving in the game is very offensive and can get them punished by the law then they will not do it but since you can take pictures of yourself when you get wrecked online safety may be a problem but it is a great racing game with lots of action that kids will love!

This game is fun from what was on the demo. But there are lots of bad messages; you're suppose to drive recklessly, bump into other cars, and drive purposely into private property to bust builten boards. The comentator even encourages you to do so. I didn't hear any language it must only be in the real game. If you understand that driving like this in real life is NOT okay, then this can be a really fun game for you.
