Burnout: Paradise City - If you like cars/Grid then buy it

£4.99 http://eastore.ea.com/store/eaemea/sear ... ds=burnout

Buy it from EA Store ^^ (!!) but check here in Steam store for screenshots:- http://store.steampowered.com/app/24740/

I am totally addicted, and have been playing it every night up until lately. The game is based around your scrap yard. You start with a banger, and do races/challenges to get upgrades and new cars. It's like Grand theft auto 4 with cars. The city scape and countryside is huge, and you are free to just explore. The graphics are fantastic, and the handling/physics of the cars is really great. Each car is very different. The first few handle like tanks, but later on you get some exiting European exotica, and the game keeps on getting better. 75 cars, plus motorbikes and other vehicles.

You can also do custom paint jobs, and it's multiplayer. I am still deep into the single player yet, and after weeks of play, I'm not half way through.

Stunts, races, crashes, jumps, golf courses, multi-storey car parks...... For £4.99 it is amazing value. I'd happily pay £20.00. Steam selling it for £15.00.

Got it, thanks to Red, the same way. I think it was a time limited offer.... £4.99 is just ridiculous though for a game of this quality (Free was sublime :wink: ).

Haha for free it was OK, but to be honest I wouldn't have liked to have paid for it.

Re: Burnout: Paradise City - If you like cars/Grid then bu

If you have this game, get the "Vanity pack". Free download, but i'd suggest trying to complete the game first, then get it, so as not to spoil a very good little single player racer. But it does give you Big Trucks, Buses and the General Lee among all the rest listed below! :twisted:

Get it here:- http://burnouthints.webs.com/vanitypack.htm

Vanity pack adds:

This unlocks bikes that could not be repaired or painted. If
you could not select all country variations of the Nakamura
Firehawk GP Competition then you've run into this defect in
the original game. This patch unlocks those bikes.

Not much here but some branding.

Spiced up surroundings including:

- Off-road Mode (experimental)
That's right! You can now drive off-road in pretty much any spot
that you can reach by jumping or by showtiming. Beware of water,
though!
Is this the closest thing to Big Surf Island on the PC?
(i.e. driving pretty much anywhere off-road)

- Stealth Mode (experimental) and Takedown Battles
A stealth mode has been added. Using this mode you will be able to
turn off player names above vehicles and map markers. It can be used
together with the new Takedown Battle custom challenges to make a
new game mode. The new challenges are:

2 Player Freeroam Challenge 49: Billboard Top 10
INDIVIDUAL: Smash 10 Burnout Billboards.
Vanity Pack: Takedown Battle
As a team get 10 Takedowns in Downtown Paradise.
Who will be crowned the takedown king?

3 Player Freeroam Challenge 2: Driver Destruction
INDIVIDUAL: Smash 1 Burnout Billboard.
Vanity Pack: Takedown Battle
As a team get 20 Takedowns in Palm Bay Heights.
Who will be crowned the takedown king?

4 Player Freeroam Challenge 14: Billboard Intro

Who will be crowned the takedown king?

INDIVIDUAL: Smash 5 Burnout Billboards.
Vanity Pack: Takedown Battle
As a team get 100 Takedowns in Downtown Paradise.
Who will be crowned the takedown king?

- Automatic Backup of Savegame
Vanity Pack makes a backup of your current savegame with every run.
If you don't want this, start it with a "/n" switch and no backup
will be made.

- Steam Support
As far as we know, Vanity Pack is now compatible with Steam.


All good and all free! :)

Hit 'Shift' to change the tune!

I love this game. Soooo many hours lost in searching for the highest parking lots so I can get some air time. Loving the bikes too.
