Burnout 5 gives players license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battleground, with a massive infrastructure of traffic-heavy roads to abuse. Gone is the need to jump in and out of menus and aimlessly search for fun like many open world games; in Burnout 5, every inch of the world is built to deliver heart-stopping Burnout-style gameplay. Every intersection is a potential crash junction and every alleyway is an opportunity to rack up moving violations.
There are more than 80 cars present and there is a reworked damage system. More parts can be torn off and the state of the car determines if the player can keep driving or has to wait for a reset. Objects in the environment can now also be deformed.
The game supports mugshots with support for a camera. When a player is taken down, both players have their photo taken, exchanged and saved on the hard drive. There are also camera-less persons or an avatar can be used.
Set to release January 25, 2008, Burnout Paradise offers a true open world environment built for intense speed, excitement, and exploration within Paradise City. Feel the aggression in the streets off and online*, as friends can connect instantly in one another’s game to heat up the competition.
Of course, rules are made to be broken, and when gamers enter Paradise City, they’re assigned a Drivers License that quickly begins to amass a record of player’s most aggressive, reckless and destructive exploits behind the wheel. But it’s not the law that’s eyeing player’s 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.
The five main event types are:
Race: the first one to reach the finish wins.
Road Rage: perform a number of takedowns before time runs out.
Marked Man: race for a location and survive the attacks from another car that tries to take you down.
Stunt Run: use stunt moves to reach a target score.
Burning Route: a unique route for each car in the game.
