My Playground
Autumn is fast approaching which, of course means that gaming season will be upon us. The following is a list of video games that I’m looking forward too and – if my financial status improves – will be getting my grubby hands on. I only have an Xbox 360 (and a pc of course) and so that is the platform I will mainly be listing.
Burn Out Paradise Art
Recently I picked up the 360 controller and started to give Burnout Paradise another go.
The story of Burnout out paradise follows the traditional Burnout model, meaning it is completely non existent; this doesn’t detract from the game whatsoever. It would have to be a really stupid story line to explain why some many cars are racing around, destroying the terrain and making a genuine nuisance of themselves without any cops trying to put an end to it.
The game play is very easy to get to grips with; basically drive as fast as you can without trying to crash. The vehicles are very responsive to your commands though depending on the vehicle it can get better or worse. The AI works very well up to a point; there are times when I have taken out another vehicle, as always a short scene of the crash is shown and when the player gets control of the vehicle back from the AI, it crashes into a wall. This made me want to throw my control at the television a few times; but it only happens once in a while so I suppose it’s not as bad as it could be.
