The Switch's ability to pack everything a game has to offer into its portable form factor is truly on display, and boy do I wish Burnout Paradise Remastered for Switch was a thing during past periods of air travel. Of course it's nice to watch my Hunter Cavalry take down a Nakamura Ikusa GT at high speed on my TV, but being able to curl up on the couch and have the action in the palm of my hands is almost just as enjoyable, if not more. The seamlessness was pretty mesmerizing in 2008 and remains appreciated in 2020.īut the Nintendo Switch really turns up the charm factor. From the open world, players enter any of the events right on the spot. Showtime Road Rules still can't compare to the past Crashbreaker mode, but it remains as well, with a simultaneous press of the L and R buttons. All event types, which include Races, Marked Man, Burning Routes, Stunt Runs and the takedown-oriented Road Rage, begin with the player spinning their tires at one of the hundreds of stoplights scattered across Paradise City. If you're a newbie, Burnout Paradise Remastered is totally approachable and lets gamers take a "choose your own adventure" path.
Big Surf Island, Cops and Robbers, motorcycles and more are all bundled with a single purchase. And like the original remastered version from 2018, the game includes every pack of downloadable content from the start, which makes it a very expansive game from the start. For those that have played the game in either its original form or its remastered format for the Xbox One, PS4 and PC, nothing changes.
