This is an Expansion for the open-world racing game Burnout Paradise, adding four new motorbikes (like the FV1100) that fundamentally change city navigation. It integrates a fully customizable day/night cycle with weather effects, alongside 70 new online Freeburn Challenges and bike-specific timed Road Rules across Paradise City. Requiring the base game, this content provides substantial replayability by forcing players to master new two-wheeled handling dynamics within the existing environment.
The primary focus of this expansion is the introduction of motorized two-wheeled vehicles to the roster of available rides. Players gain access to four distinct motorbikes:
These additions fundamentally alter the feel of navigating Paradise City, emphasizing agility and a different approach to aggressive driving compared to the game's existing vehicle roster.
Beyond the new vehicles, this update introduces significant environmental and challenge modifications that affect all gameplay sessions:
The developers indicated that this content adds approximately seven to ten hours of dedicated single-player gameplay time. For multiplayer modes, the addition of new challenges and vehicle types offers countless additional hours of replayability within the existing online framework.
The introduction of motorbikes necessitates a shift in player strategy. While the core high-speed, crash-heavy racing remains, handling bikes introduces new dynamics for maintaining speed and executing maneuvers. The integration of bike-specific challenges ensures that veteran players must master these new mechanics to complete the expanded set of objectives.
This expansion was released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 platforms, adding new content to the established racing environment.
