Burnout Paradise : The Ultimate Box Demo - high-speed racing game for PC

BURNOUT PARADISE: THE ULTIMATE BOX DEMO

Since appearing on the Xbox 360 and PS3 from June 1/2008, the game Burnout Paradise is constantly being expanded. All of our content - collection vehicles, additional online modes, and more - are included in the Ultimate Box for PC. Even the latest version also have the option to restart the event in the game, meaning that players do not need to return to the starting point if you want to retry a race.

Like the version of Burnout Paradise before, Ultimate Box allows you to compete on both two wheels and four wheels. Cities in game is not noisy and crowded place though there are many roads and alleyways. Players will not see pedestrians on sidewalks, cars on the street. But if you wander around you'll see lots of traffic lights and shortcut. From the Drivers box, gamers can select racing events like Stunt (Racing performances), Races (tournament), Marked Man (trying to destination while other racers trying to turn your car into scrap heap), Road Rage (destroyed a number of cars to the front in a certain time period), Timed (timed race).The cars that players can choose to be divided into three categories: Speed ??(Speed ??Racer), Stunt (Racing performances) and Aggressive (Race vandalism). Each vehicle has a control mechanism separately and you should try them before choosing.

Notable Features of Ultimate Box is a system acceleration (boosting). It's a next expression appears only when gamers in dangerous situations and have different effects on each vehicle. For example, cars can only heading Speed ??accelerates as it reaches maximum speed, heading Aggressive car can accelerate much more by destroying other cars. Every time players hit the road barrier, crossing traffic light or destroy other cars, a short film will be shown to you to review the changes at slow speeds.

During the race, but not sure route, you should follow the instructions of the game. If you spend time looking for shortcuts, explore the shortest route or straight, you would save a lot of time. However, an appropriate time to explore it's far, because the city in the game is quite vast and tangled road network. Shortcut marked with the yellow gate, but the player must know how to draw lessons in finding their location.

The riders can navigate easily through the tutorial, mini map, the turn signal (flashing) and traffic signs on the road. These signs show you the road turn right to get to the destination, but some exit appear so quickly that players can not remember. Once grasp the topography of the city and surrounding areas you can rely on memory and experience to navigate.

With events like free style race and race performances vandalism, gamers can go everywhere, making the role of orientation significantly reduced. Do all challenges in the game is designed in an open way (not in a predefined route), you may encounter a lot of easier for staff repeated several times. Challenge yourself to not change every time you see them, but the game will require players to record more points or destroy more cars. The starting point in each event varies depending on the location of traffic lights where you choose to depart.

If all interested in the traditional competitions and activities to explore the city, gamers can choose from many free-style events, such as breaking the record of the other racers or join Showtime mode (earn points by crashing into other vehicles, not concerned with the finish).

Pursuit is probably the most interesting activities in the free style event. If you finished first in a race, the game will notice that hundreds of other racers are rampant worldwide. If you catch them, you will win a car. Players can recognize the racers this is easy, because they move with greater speed compared to the other cars. To win their car, you have to join the chase with extremely high speeds. Sometimes players catch them very quickly, but if your box driver not classified as "terrorist" chases least may last for hours. It followed other riders across the road but you can not know in advance which feels very exciting.
 

In online multiplayer, gamers also have a lot of choices, from the tournament can be customized, coordinating teammates mode to compete in teams. The online mode allows up to 8 participants. Unlike most offline, vehicles in the online appearance abound on the streets. But they are not civilians, but as the riders around the world. Communications systems among gamers is a weakness.Although the game supports VoIP features, but you can not text chat with other players.

Graphics quality of The Ultimate Box just above average, but the framerate is stable, light effects and impressive cars still conveys a sense of satisfaction for the player. Part sound better designed with vivid sound effects when racing boot, gearshift, hit the gas and accelerated. While spiraling launcher on the road, you will enjoy the symphony classics like Beethoven's Sonata moonlight, the Rusty Cage of Soundgarden. If you just want to hear the roar of the engine and the sound of metal colliding with one another, you can turn off the symphony.
