• Gameplay

  Developers with Criterion Games said they wanted Burnout Paradise to be much different than the previous Burnout titles. After a crash, players can remain with their current vehicle as long as all four tires remain intact and the chassis is not broken. If the chassis is broken or if a tire is missing, the player loses the vehicle. Vehicles are now named by manufacturers, although the names are a knock-off of an actual brand. Players can also earn licenses by completing races; a player starts off with a Learners Permit and can move all the way up to a Criterion Elite License (SSS-Class)

• Game Modes

  • Road Rage: A player must accomplish a certain amount of takedowns before the timer runs out. A player can go over the requirement.
  • Marked Man: One player is trying to reach the finish line somewhere. Another player is trying to prevent it from happening.

The goal of the chasing driver is to score as many takedowns as possible and prevent the other player from reaching the finish.
  • Stunt Run: Players must accomplish a certain score by performing boosts, jumps, aerial moves and drifts.
