To repeat what the others said: paradise was very open world and samey, and takedown was epic.

I have no opinions on either, just parroting the thread. I am not a bot, bleep bloop.

I liked paradise, but I gotta say, we were always a Midtown Madness family anyway.

Burnout 3 absolutely. Paradise was a great game but it’s format shift to open world effectively killed the series. Also made races really repetitive since they always went to the same places and you didn’t have an incentive to explore the rest of the map, which was full of really cool stuff like the quarry and train lines…

Anyway Burnout 3 is just the perfection of the classic formula. Shoutouts to Revenge for the traffic check mechanic and the cool new car designs.

I absolutely adored Burnout Paradise. It’s my favorite game in the series. It’s also a very different kind of game though, so I get why people get up in arms about it.

Crashing into billboards was a great collectible of which I never grew tired.

Definitely Burnout 3. Paradise didn’t feel like a real Burnout game to me but I also hated the open world.
