Burnout Light

I as Burnout fan from the beginning had, looking forward huge, when I heard that the Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box comes out and they also reserved the same.
I had already Liehn me the game a few months from the video store, but was quite disappointed. The lack restart function during the race this was really a frustrating shortcoming. At first it does not seem to appear too bad, because you really have a lot of races to choose from, no matter where you drive. Who knows burnout, but also recognizes the same problem. In subsequent races where you have to frantically fast cars to undercut rather critical times, you sometimes need anyway countless attempts until one manages. Having to drive back to the starting line again after each unsuccessful attempt was unthinkable for me and has kept me even then the purchase. The patch in the Ultimate Box solves this (giant) shortcoming finally. And it complements the game more to the online updates available to date. One of them, for me almost the most important, is the offline multiplayer mode. Why this only comes via update and then also cost is another question ...
Anyway, I just want to address a few points that. Especially friends of the old Burnout parts and where, those who were put off by the bad reviews of the "first version", designed to facilitate the choice

+++++ The ACCESS is super. Man rushes coinciding with the usual Burnout Feeling going, quickly find different races and it may live out his anger on the street, as it was so beautiful in the old parts.

+++++ The soundtrack occurred to me on the same. The Paradise City Theme is great, the music while driving is always suitably crazy (of course, rock-heavy). But you can also make your own music to play while driving.

- + - + - The city is a matter of taste. You drive through the huge Paradise City and is at each crossing different races. I think it's not so good, because it lets you no longer simply dial the events, but always has to go.

- + - AUTO SWITCH, REPAIR, dyeing .... you have now in certain places in the city (junkyards, workshops, etc.). Of course nicely done, if you already moves through a huge city, I finds however unnecessarily complicated. Especially that my car driving through the city and while I really just seeking damages Events burdock.

- + - + - There are no travel limits. This can become a problem really often if you do not know the routes. In the old Burnout games it was already sometimes hard enough to catch only certain abbreviations and sometimes the Wegbrenzungen even have an even saved the car. Now there is only the destination and the route on the map, wolang one drives, one therefore always remains up to you. In my opinion, it starts by simply much earlier that you have to know routes to create them. The course can be frustrating, but as game finally makes so fun and basically you need by just a bit longer to play through it. But you will also besimmt incredibly well ...;)

----- Control has unfortunately changed totally. Gas and brake are now distributed on L2 + R2, as the trend of racing games it probably will. You get used to it, but the handling is not as nice as before. The handbrake was so tightened that you will miss the nice, relatively simple drifts from the old parts.

----- The menu is slow. Somehow I have the feeling that everything always takes a long time. Choose the car, etc. In addition, the store in between crashes while driving are also felt very long, especially perhaps because there is no aftertouch.

+++++ The game is fast;) Not only the game is used to rapidly, and the in-game menu is super. Directional pad to the right and you can quickly view records, play online, show Challenges let etc.

+++++ Restart facility. Sorry to have to emphasize as positive, but it's there now and that's a good thing ...

+ - + - + Multiplayer mode is okay. The classic change-the-pad-and-Outbid-the-others. Unfortunately the Crash mode is missing.

+ - + - + SHOWTIME. A mode which you can at any time, activate when you drive through the city. Then you have to crash similar to the "aftertouch" the old crash mode as many cars as it comes. For each car there Boost, with the boost you can Skimming his car and steer in the air, so that you may continue the games forever, if you are good. Is very funny, but does not come off the Crash Mode.

CONCLUSION:
Overall, I think I have not wasted my money. Burnout Burnout is always just, but I really miss the old, quick and easy route and Eventanwählen. I already know that it will bother me later, if only a few events are left, even more. I call it burnout Light in the heading, because it is indeed a good Burnout game for me, but for a new version simply has no real innovations, but has rather easily slimmed. For Burnout fans and people who are keen on a fast-paced action racing game definitely a recommendation.
