Instead of having to unlock locations and challenges like in the previous linear Burnout offerings, EA’s Burnout Paradise will open up the Guns n’ Roses friendly Paradise City right from the beginning. To open up a challenge, all players will need to do is drive up to a stoplight — yeah, it’s as easy as that. Akin to a driving sandbox, players will essentially be able to do what they like with the game.
Other unique functions for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 include these tasty morsels:
True Open World Freedom – The entire city will be available from the outset, giving players the freedom to explore this immersive world known as Paradise City. Experience open world driving Burnout style as the action begins with you, but it doesn’t have to end.
EasyDrive Online Social Gaming – See your friends online with the EasyDrive Friends List and connect with them instantly without having to wait or exit your game. Burnout Paradise is revolutionizing the way players jump on and offline, making it as simple and quick as possible.
Single-player Events – Choose from Race, Marked Man, Road Rage, and Stunt by pulling up to the numerous stoplights in the game to initiate the event. The action isn’t forced any longer, as players have the freedom to start and even end a challenge at their leisure.
