Table of Contents
Burnout Paradise gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Every intersection is a potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack up moving violations. When gamers enter Paradise City, they're assigned a driver's license that quickly begins to amass a record of their most aggressive, reckless, and destructive exploits behind the wheel. But it's not the law that's eyeing players' progress; when gamers push things too hard they'll be squaring off against the city's most infamous burners, and these legends aren't interested in who crosses the finish line first.
