Although Burnout Paradise Remastered only releases on Friday, reviewers have gotten a taste of the game a few days earlier and have been putting up their reviews of the game. There aren’t that many yet, but what they’re saying looks good for fans of Burnout.
There haven’t been that many reviews yet, but here’s a pretty solid collection of some of those who have already written down what they think about Burnout Paradise Remastered, so you can decide for yourself if you want to be crashing through the streets in this remaster.
The Sixth Axis: 8/10
It may a look a little basic compared to recent titles, but when it comes to gameplay Burnout Paradise still thrashes the competition.
Vandal: 8/10
As a game, it’s great to go back to Paradise City and rediscover a game that made history; as a remaster, it feels a bit like a low-effort and expensive one.

Stevivor: 7/10
Despite a lacklustre remaster (I’m looking at you, textures), returning fans will feel right at home in Paradise City with Burnout Paradise Remastered.
Game Over Online: 9/10
Overall, Burnout Paradise Remastered is the best way to experience the game. While it does have some rough edges caused by time moving forward and work not being done to better-modernize it, the game is still a riot.
Gamepro Germany: 8.5/10
Even in 4K (on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X) and the high framerate of 60FPS, you can still notice that Paradise was a PS3 and 360 game. The city feels quite empty in some places and we feel that they could have done more in that respect.

Burnout Paradise Remastered is like a finely-tuned vintage car – sure, it’s quirky and a bit archaic, but those concerns melt away once you get behind the wheel and rev that engine.
There will be many more reviews when the game comes out, but for now, this was the general consensus.
If you’re waiting for more last-gen goodness, Microsoft is planning to have a lot of presence at this year’s E3. If you want something new and surprising, however, you might want to check out Frantics.
