Make action your middle name, as you control what happens when and where in Burnout Paradise. Welcome to Paradise City. Immerse yourselfin the open roads of Paradise City from the downtown streets through the hectic freeways to the sweeping mountain roads; the world is waiting to be explored. Slam, Shunt and Wreck opponents in cross-town race events, where you decide the fastest route to the finish line. Hit the jumps and find shortcuts, smash through barriers and get to the places that other racers can't reach to get that competitive edge. Meet your friends online with the revolutionary EasyDrive system that smashes through the tedium of lobbies and servers and cuts straight to the chase. Burnout Paradise provides the ultimate driving playground for you and your friends to play online on the Xbox 360. Mugshots - Track the length and breadth of up to 2,500 online rivalries Speed, Speed and Even More Speed - The rebuilt, race-tuned Burnout game engine delivers intense speed boost gameplay at a super-smooth and super-fast 60 frames-per-second Crash Deformation - Burnout Paradise features an all-new deformation technology that gives players an astounding close-up and slow-motion view of super-real destruction

This is by far one of the most interesting and fun games I have ever played online. Where the first few games in the series really just focused on the severity of destruction you could cause, this game adds a huge open ended map that allows and encourages exploration of the deepest sort. The element of auto related carnage is still very much a part of the game, it's just not what I would call the main focus of it. There are an obscene amount of things to see and do in this game and with the ability to play with up to seven other players over Xbox Live, the game becomes something that is quite literally insane in its overall design.
