Oh man it's so good you have no idea. I finally got around to figuring out to put stuff on there and I got my three favourite driving CDs(Transatlanticism, Highly Refined Pirates, and Lost Horizon mix) and damn hearing Absinthe Party while crashing is the most awesome thing ever.
I'm making my score currently a 9.5. It's an absolutely amazing game and it cements the 360 as the best platform of all time for racing games, already.

You can stream as a custom soundtrack? Could you explain how to do that please? I had a hells time trying to get anything to work streaming.
Do I actually have to install Zune(software)?
I played way too much of this over the weekend. When I close my eyes I just see ramps leading to burnout billboards >_<
Most fun I've had driving around taking jumps since Crackdown. But need to stop playing soon or this will become an addiction. I feel pretty satisfied with the game. The racing was much better than Revenge. Surprisingly I learned far more sections of the city in Paradise than I did tracks in Revenge...guess the sandbox method worked. Showtime was no crash mode, so hopefully it'll be back in Paradise 2, but it was still fun. Presentation and the way you can do SO MUCH STUFF with the d-pad (flip showtime [offline/online], road time [offline/online] scores, all the online stuff) was amazing.
The online is the thing to beat for all other games. Being able to go to your city map at any time and look at a street and see who holds the #1 leadboard out of all the people on your friends list is awesome. Seeing real-time in-game messages that someone beat your score on a street even WHEN THEY AREN'T IN YOUR GAME is from the future stuff. Seriously this feels a generation beyond online gaming anywhere else. And on the PS3, with shitty online tools, no less!
Great game. Definitely 9+ish/10.

this game is a dissapointment to me once you do A class thats it , thats all
Picked it up this saturday, figured what the hell, the demo was good, but not convincing. And if I didn't like it, I could always return it in exchange for CoD4 or whatever.
Well, at 4 o'clock I popped in the disc, smiled a smile when Guns n Roses started pouring out of my speakers, took a picture for my license (simple, yet lovable feature) and started burning. At 8 I decided it was really time for dinner... after just one more race. 12 races later, I decided that I REALLY needed dinner. Plus, the battery in my Dual Shock went dead, so that helped.
This game is amazing. I'm truely learning the streets, there's a mental map forming in my brain as we speak. I can drive from Coastguard HQ to the windmills without looking at the map, first time any free-roamer pulled this of for me. The soundtrack is alright, nothing amazing (although FNM's Epic cannot be wrong, but that's profesionally countered by Avril Lavigne, so that balances out), and online.... ooo online. The online/offline integration is astonishing.
Criterion, you bastards! You did it again.

i guess you are right in the sense but i was hoping for medals like in revenge
Let's see.
I loved Burnout 2
I loved A LOT Burnout 3
I HATED Burnout 4 [that's Revenge for you]
I kinda liked Burnout Legends
...
Would you recommend this to me? On the 360.
I absolutely don't know what to do, i even played the demo and it was... fun, i guess.
Simply, i can't judge the game from that because there were not enough offline things to do, it was mainly online.
So GAF, help me.

I feel exactly the same, except i liked Legends quite a lot since it was exactly like BO3:Takedown, only i could play it on the toilet. Revenge did nothing for me and BO3 is still in my top 5 games of the last generation.
Burnout Paradise is better than all of the above. Go get it.

Heh, you don't set times in Showtime. You set times by racing the street down.

HEY HEY YOU YOU
I DON'T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND
Please, oh god, make...it...stop
Although, this is probably the biggest flaw in the game for me. Such a fun game.

*Rocks out to Avril*
There are worse songs on the playlist. There seems to be a big group of shitty emo songs towards the end that make me want to tear my hair out.
Nothing in the game offends me more than the butchered second verse of Epic by FNM anyway.

Ended up with a nice little traffic jam during the credits. It must be caused by the way the game spawns cars.
Do you have control over your car during that sequence?

The only events I have left for my Elite license are the Marked Man, Stunt and Burning Route Events. I should have saved the races and road rage events for the end because they're my favorite but I couldn't resist. I'm getting close to the point where a restart option is desperately needed. Finishing all the Burning Routes is going to be frustrating, for sure.

I hope not. I was able to break 1 million doing a boosting drift in a speed car for about 10 minutes.

I haven't tried a Stunt run since I received my Burnout License but I sure hope not. I believe the required score is based off of how many stunt events you've won and not the license you have. I only tried 10 or so stunt events to this point so I think my last score limit was something like 220,000. I've basically been upgrading my licenses with race events for the most part. I've won 104 races.

You can pan the camera around but that's it. A large portion of the cars you see disappeared when I did a 360 around my car. As soon as the camera settled they started spawning again.
Oh, and just for the hell of it, here are a few snapshots of actual people playing the game (and not a wall).
First guy I saw smiling. Try to do more of this, people.
Denogginizer in awe of my skillz. Well, either that or he's mad because I screwed up another Challenge.
Does not like my police cruiser.
The best for last. Peter Moore and his undead sidekick.
