Why it's best:
A massive open world and destroyable environment has completely revolutionized the Burnout franchise. Racing now includes finding shortcuts through destroyable gates or billboards all while traveling at blindingly fast speeds. The crash cam allows you to rack up to hundreds of cars in a massive collision and the road rage events allow for quick passed destruction. Great for all types of gamers.

Where to Buy

Manufacturer Description: Described as a complete reinvention of the series by Alex Ward from Criterion Games, Burnout 5 boasts next-generation technology that specializes in creating explosive crashes, and multi-car pile-ups. Gamers cruise into Paradise City after getting a driving license that records all aggressive, reckless, and destructive driving a player will do during their time with the game. There are no rules and gamers may drive as they wish. However, having too much fun can trigger a rivalry with the cities current top burners. The environment itself is a seamless, non-loading landscape full of alleys, highways, city streets, pedestrians, and other drivers.~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

Burnout Paradise is nowhere near the best racer for any platform
If you're looking for an arcade racer, Midnight Club:Los Angeles is a much better choice. It's got tons of licensed cars for the player to customize, great online modes including Capture the Flag, and lots more racing modes.
If you're looking for a simulation racer, then you have to go with Gran Turismo games.

Sorry, i think not. Do your homework and change this to Gran Turismo 5: Prologue. It's the best racing game ever. Gran Turismo 5 will be even better.

Burnout Paradise is a good game, but definitely not the best.

Word to your motherboard,
Brent
