Burnout Paradise Remastered review

Burnout Paradise Remastered is the budget pick for arcade driving. The Steam page sells it for $19.99 and describes a driving playground in Paradise City, from downtown avenues to mountain roads, built around stunts and crashes. The remaster includes every Year of Paradise add-on: Big Surf Island with nine extra vehicles, the Cops and Robbers online mode with police versions of 33 cars, Legendary Cars, Burnout Bikes with four motorbikes and toy cars. Burnout Paradise Party lets a group pass the controller to complete challenges. Steam lists full controller support, online co-op and PvP, and the hardware bar is the lowest here at 4 GB of RAM and 8 GB of storage. It ranks last because it offers the least depth: the cars are fictional and the game is a remaster rather than a current release.
