Burnout Paradise goes down to Greatest Hits price

by Andrew Yoon { Aug 5th 2008 at 3:45PM }

It may not be an official "Greatest Hits" game quite yet, but Criterion's PS3 racing game, Burnout Paradise, is now available at many major retailers for only $30 -- that's half off its original price. PS3 owners are undoubtedly looking even more closely at the game, ever since the announcement of extensive free DLC for the game (which adds motorcycles, planes) and the addition of PS3 Trophies.

Check out amazon.com, Best Buy, and Gamestop to see the new price in effect.

Didn't take long.

I'd like to see a return to form after this (something more along the lines of Burnout 2).

Best crash mode in the series, great music and great tracks.

I love Paradise, but you're totally right about the Crash Mode in Burnout 2. I think it would be great if they brought it back as a stand-alone DLC game. You could do it online: Each player takes a run at the course, and you get to see everyone else's attempts. Then each person gets a second run, and the best of your two scores counts.

(I've thought about this a lot.)

Overall, a terrific game. The free DLC makes the purchase of this game a real no-brainer, IMHO.

Dang, and I just bought it with trade-ins for $4. I could have gotten it for free!

WOW* why I didn't wait a little for this.. but anyway Criterion earn every single penny for that game.

Very good. Can't wait for the motorcycle add-on pack...just in time for me to buy the game.

xcrunk @ Aug 5th 2008 4:19PM

waiting for GameFly to reduce this game....

I don't want to pay more than $20.

Got my Devil May Cary 4 for $18. LOL.

I hear Devil May Susan is going to blow Devil May Cary away though.

LOL @ turkeybaster.

Emm Effer.... I just bought this 3 days ago. Oh well.

why not the LS2LS7? @ Aug 5th 2008 4:38PM

OMG why? This is a fantastic game. Why would it drop to $60 so fast?

Gemini Ace @ Aug 5th 2008 4:52PM

As much as I hate this game, I have to admit it's getting hard to resist.

What? I can't read your comment. Too many errors.

There is nothing keeping you from buying this game if you have any interest what-so-ever...

It's one of the best overall games and probably the best supported game not involving fake instruments.

Major props to Criterion!

I can't recommend Burnout Paradise enough - I've been playing racing games since the Sega Megadrive and this one is brilliant. It's not perfect (having to drive back to the start of events, and the much publicised step backwards in crash mode), but even with these issues, it's a _lot_ of fun - my favourite arcade racer ever.

Great game that while it doesn't quite reach the lofty standards set by Burnout Revenge is still a quality game that has unlimited potential via the ongoing dlc and online competitive play. Don't buy into the negative hype surrounding it. Criterion have made another great racer.
