Had about 2 hours on this myself. As a single player game I cant see me getting bored of it quickly, as its so much fun just driving around discovering things. I have only done 2 challenges out of 120 and I was playing for 2 hours!

Things look good, and the online side of things seems excellent, especially the racing.

In the emails I have got there has been no mention of the exclusive car. I'm not sure if the info on how to get is supposed to be sent by email or will come with the game. I may have to contact customer services regarding it.

Is there even suppposed to be an exclusive car if you preorder with GAME ? There is no mention of it on their site that I can see.

K, i think it said you will get a email with a code in and then you will have to enter the code in the game to unlock the car.

Only supports friends list/messaging though. Anyone tried it? Is there an invite system?
That's good news, shame there's no capability for custom soundtracks though. Looks like being the 360 version for me

It's precisely this kind of comment that makes me want this game

Re: Burnout Paradise - Preview Thread

Woo hoo. My copy of Burnout Paradise arrived a day early for me Its got to be one of the most addictive little (big !) games I have played in ages. My bro got his today as well, so we've been having a rare time of it. Favourite game, apart from just taking each other for takedowns is ............

......Hide and Seek !!!!!

Dunno how, but my bro keeps finding secret little places that are virtually impossible to get at.....great fun though.

Re: Burnout Paradise - Preview Thread

Also this whole not being able to retry a race in single player made is insanley annoying!! not a big deal on the demo as map wasnt that huge but now, it's a nightmare.

Re: Burnout Paradise - Preview Thread

Just had a couple of rounds online with Adails, on the whole good fun, but i tihnk the lack of any real structure to races like in all previous games lets it down a bit, and essentially just makes it a case of who can remember routes better than other players. But gonna be playin it most of tommorow (will get headset charged and ready) as it's still good fun, but it's not ribena.
