This is one of my childhood games, I played it back in 2008 on my PS3. It was an enjoyable trip down memory lane!

The reason I enjoy the driving physics so much is because you can really sense the speed & momentum of the cars. It's so satisfying to drift perfectly in a tight turn at full speed!
You really feel the impact everytime there is a crash. The crash cams in slow-motion are really cool.
I loved it whenever my car went flying 2 meters above the ground after hitting an obstacle or another car. The sound effects are also top-notch.
All those details add up together and make the races full of adrenaline!

I replaced the game's music with Eurobeat (like Hotblade, ACE or Initial D), I think it fits perfectly with Burnout Paradise, and it made the game even more high-octane!
Playing without any music, just the sound effects, also feels surprisingly great.

I liked how after a certain point (mid & end-game), the difficulty comes from trying to keep an eye on the map without crashing, because your car just goes so fucking fast.
