I've just realized something. In the beginning, I was really struggling with the racing in this game. Navigation was a real chore, getting lost was an almost every race event, wrecking because I took my eyes off the road to look at the map was far too common. The thing is since racing was the only event type I was really struggling with I became completely obsessed with improving. Before I know it became my absolute favorite event type. I'm actually familiar with several sections of the city and I can now ignore the turn signal and street sign indicators in those locations. Getting lost is no longer an issue and I'm not terrified of short cuts. I looked at my stats and they tell the story. I've won:
59 races
6 road rages
8 marked man events
1 burning route
11 stunt runs
The game is amazing, unfortunately the racing requires a certain amount of devotion that many aren't looking for in an arcade racer. I think that is where the controversy exists. Many people were hoping for a pick up and play type experience and to get the most out of Paradise you can't just do that.

The online stuff, even on 360, is utterly, utterly jawdropping.
Just got the EU (Italian) version of the game and WTF it doesn't have English language option?!?
My XMB is set to English so that games defaut to that language (I HATE playing games in any other language other than the original one since localization sucks ass) but with Burnout Pradise it starts in French cos there is no English! I can play it in Italian by switching system language accordingly but FUCK ME if I'm ever going to do that. NOT. A. CHANCE.
Gesus fucking christ. First COD4 (only language available: Italian). Now Burnout Paradise. With all the space on the Blu-Ray disc they c&p the language choices of the DVD/360 versions. WHY?! WHY?!?!
Now I have to sell this and order the UK version from play.com.
Thank you idiots.

All I did was racing and burning routes until late in my A license. To break through to paradise I had to do some road rages. Did the same thing for Paradise. Now I've got about 18 wins left for the Elite license and almost all of them are stunt runs... which I'm hopeless at.

I haven't been doing any burning routes, marked man, or stunt runs much at all. Not really my forte, but IU know I'll have to do them sometime :-/
Got my class B last night, have 13 cars I think. I love the stunt cars, use them for everything as I just can't get used to the boost limits of the speed cars.
In those takedown missions I kinda go overboard too, they are so easy when you get on a freeway or something and I end up with 4 or 5 times the number of takedowns needed. There was one though that was hard out of nowhere, I had to drive carefully to get past 6 and ended up with 7.
All the stunt runs are still extremely simple at class B though, usually get the goal on my first run with 1-2 minutes to spare. The races are pretty hit and miss, I failed a few lately as the difficulty has ramped up.

Is it me, or does it seem as if a lot of people haven't bothered to set online times and crash scores at all on many streets? I was cruising around last night with road rules turned on to check the time and scores for various streets and most of them were still empty. I did set a bunch of crash scores though.

Just did a 2.95 million point stunt run and almost got much higher than that. It ended cuz i got myself stuck and couldn't boost but I still had a pretty good set of "good spots" left to hit. Maybe I'll try and beat that later.
I've been focusing on stunt runs so far (I've done nearly all of them on my A license...only 2 left). I've also been hitting lots of burning roots. I have hardly done any marked man ones.
If anyone wants to do some challenges let me know. My PSN name is WHOAguitarninja...I'll prolly be back on in a couple hours.

I'm fairly certain I got upwards of 80 takedowns on Bo:R. they're a bit harder now without aftertouch, or multiple takedowns at the same time. seriously, what's the deal with not having multiple simultaneous takedowns anymore? lame.birdman said:

Does anyone else run their PS3 through an amp? Burnout seems to be outputting DTS 5.1 on my PS3. Anyone else getting that? 
Sounds badass..

Last night when I was playing only 1 person on my friends list was playing BP and since the stupid friend list limit is 50, I only have like 2-3 spots to add people left after deleting some people.

1. Non customizable controls is bullshit and every game that has them should be boycotted. Wont be, but come the fuck on. You could change the controls in SNES games.
2. Not allowing you to quit races is probably this games biggest flaw. Drops it at least an entire point score from a 9.9 to an 8.9 for me. Why the fuck do I want to spend a fucking half hour following your useless navigation system? Just let me quit and try another race.

It sounds AMAZING in 5.1! It actually feels like pieces of debris are flying over my head when I drive through lights/crates/barrelllzz etc...
I'm a noob when it comes to surround sound systems as I just put my system in, but what is considered "better", Dolby Dig or DTS 5.1? I ask because most of my games on PS3 are read as Dolby D on my Receiver and BP is the only one in DTS...
Thanks in advance!
Bebpo, I'm away from my PS3 now, but shoot me an invite, I cleared out space on my list... my PSN ID is m0nkeyhero

dj atomica doesn't bother me much at all. Not nearly as annoying as in Revenge.
can you burn cd-r's to your 360? I want custom tracks, but I don't know how to put them in there. The best I could do is stream windows media center outside of the game, which took forever to load.
