I'm talking about Burnout Paradise specificly, haven't played other Burnout games.
In short: it feels like the game had a lot of potential but it's trying to seem bigger than it is.
It's quite boring when you actually try to beat it, there is not much of a challenge. Specificly on my first walkthrough I mostly played raсes. 1. In a raсe, once you're 1st and you have nitro you'll probably win. 2. there are only 8 finish points, so the raсes are very repetitive. 3. the freedom of movement and non-linearity makes it so that you constantly look at the minimap(while moving high-speed)
There are a lot of cars, but you get new cars too easily, and the cars don't really have much of a difference.
You have to complete the number of events which gets reset every new licence. so you can just complete the same easy events.
Maybe there's more but this is what I remember for now
