@HotWheelsVroom @asklemmy yes.
They both have strengths and weaknesses, I preferred take down but it’s not a big difference in terms of “better”
I think paradise is a better game, but I prefer takedown because I loved the road rage mode where you try to create the most damage, and I like the races not to be on an open map.
Paradise is simply not a Burnout game. It’s a great racing game, but there’s nothing Burnout about it.
I’ll take Burnout 3 or even Burnout Revenge any day. That crash junctions are the series bread and butter.
I also strongly agree that Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge are the best in the series, the most focused and polished… Burnout Paradise is OK but lacks something those other two have.
Whenever I think about Burnout Paradise I think about somebody (I think it was Yahtzee) describing the world of Burnout Paradise as a post apocalyptic nightmare world where cars have taken over, and one lone human hides out in his radio station broadcasting desperately to a murderous mechanical audience.
I love takedown, it is definitely up there with one of my favourite games of all time, paradise however was a struggle to get the motivation to finish.
I just don’t like open world games and the races all felt the same on paradise, all the takedowns felt like it was a repetition of the last and I just wasn’t enjoying it by the end.
Also crash mode… Takedown wins hands down for me.
Both are great! Takedown was great with friends infront of the TV, but Paradise had an amazing Online experience.
Don’t make me choooooose!!! (It’s Takedown)
