I've thoroughly beaten the offline game; but, I keep playing online because it's so much fun. Same-machine co-op is gone; but, the online play is excellent.

Co-op Burnout is excellent, a cornerstone of the series, and it's gone here. Sad, sad, sad. That said, Revenge can be had for cheap and with the crash modes and different courses is worth buying even for those who've got Paradise. I'm playin' Call of Duty 5, Farrcry 2,c and with my lil sister Aubrey I'm playin' Super Princess Peach, Elite Beat Agents and Nintendogs. She's 9. I'm 15. I love her.

It's an excellent arcade racer, with the most glaring flaw being the lack of a restart option (which will be fixed in the Feb 5 patch). It has a large and diverse stable of cars, the PSN community is active and Criterion is continuing development (several DLC packs are coming within the next few months, including a massive expansion of the game city). It plays remarkably smoothly and the graphics are amazing. I picked up the game when I bought the PS3 and it immediately sold me on the console.
