I have fond memories of hanging out, smoking weed, and filling my belly with diet soda while playing Burnout Revenge for the PS2.

Being serious it’s Revenge

Burnout 3 absolutely. Paradise was a great game but it’s format shift to open world effectively killed the series. Also made races really repetitive since they always went to the same places and you didn’t have an incentive to explore the rest of the map, which was full of really cool stuff like the quarry and train lines…

Anyway Burnout 3 is just the perfection of the classic formula. Shoutouts to Revenge for the traffic check mechanic and the cool new car designs.

I love takedown, it is definitely up there with one of my favourite games of all time, paradise however was a struggle to get the motivation to finish.

I just don’t like open world games and the races all felt the same on paradise, all the takedowns felt like it was a repetition of the last and I just wasn’t enjoying it by the end.

Also crash mode… Takedown wins hands down for me.

Takedown feels more like a racing game, whereas Paradise’s open world lets you more accustomed with its environment, so the answer varies on what i want to play that time

I absolutely adored Burnout Paradise. It’s my favorite game in the series. It’s also a very different kind of game though, so I get why people get up in arms about it.

Crashing into billboards was a great collectible of which I never grew tired.

Burnout Revenge is the better game.

I liked paradise, but I gotta say, we were always a Midtown Madness family anyway.

To repeat what the others said: paradise was very open world and samey, and takedown was epic.

I have no opinions on either, just parroting the thread. I am not a bot, bleep bloop.
