To be honest, it’s more personal taste more than anything else, with a couple of nostalgic (there’s that word again) tunes that took me back, I mostly went for my own Spotify playlist. I will admit, the soundtrack leaves a little bit to be desired. I won’t spoil it, but when these cars popped up in my car list, I couldn’t help but wear a massive smile on my face, especially when I got to try them out, complete with special features. With those ‘toy cars’ as they are known, some cars from popular movies appear – minus proper licensing. Speaking of DLC, it comes with Big Surf Island, which is a compressed version of Paradise City, but with mostly toy cars (again, condensed versions of the normal sized, in-game cars), so think a micro machines-esque version of Paradise City. Only this time, it’s got all the DLC included, so it’s essentially a Game of the Year edition with added visuals. I just to put on, kick back and just drive around, smashing up cars, gates, billboards, the lot.
Granted, I played through the original Burnout Paradise rather casually, and even more so this time, with it easily becoming one of my relaxation games. Now, I get to relive those memories all over again but with added gloss and to quote the beginning of Ozomatli’s ‘City of Angels’: I love it! Whenever it comes on the radio, my memories go back to 2008 when it first came out, giving me summer vibes playing it in my room on the Xbox 360. Now while I’m not a big fan of Guns ‘n’ Roses in general, Burnout Paradise will always be synonymous with that song.
