Is it still worth purchasing this game today?
I think this game looks fun but does anyone still play it and is it to late in its life to buy it?

One word: YES!

You can probably find it for $20 these days. It is an absolute steal at that price. Having said that, a lot of the really good content (cars, modes and areas) is locked behind paid DLC, so be ready for that. But the content you get with the game disc is well worth the price of the disc.

Yes, I picked it up for $15 at EB Games. Fun game just to hack around with. I havent picked up any of the DLC, there is lots of game play on the main disc. For $15-$20 you cant go wrong.

Best $20 game I ever bought. I got the Platinum Hits Edition. My son liked it enough to give up Halo 3 completely. I ended having to buy a second copy so we could both play. I have 2 xbox's.

I recommend this game for the casual racer and somebody who just wants to kick back and cruise around the city or socialized with people online and have fun time.
i would not recommend this for the somebody is a serious racer cause it will disappoint you. due to the fact that it has no speed meter and that right there takes the whole purpose out of a racing game IMO.

I see you got your answer but I have to brag that I picked it up a few weeks ago for $11 shipped on half.com.  Great value, been playing a whole lot.  Still got a lot left to do and it's just plain fun.  Good clean fun at that.

I bought the Ultimate Box Set yesterday £20 UK and it's good to see you guys still recommend purchasing.

This is one of the best games to buy because it's $20 NEW and you can always find someone to play with online. And they just had Big Surf Island released not too long ago.

ultimate box is best to get now, not for the party thing (it sucks royal) but because i saves you having to wait for the bikes and cagney updates downloading (saves space on your hard drive aswell)

Re: Is it still worth purchasing this game today?
ive spent around £65 on this game all together, after picking the game up for about £30.

100% worth it, loads of people still play it, even with around 400 hours of gameplay i am still not bored.

my favourite game.

#1 ranked in the world at challenge aerodynamics.

NO it's not woth it save your money. there is a reason its so cheap

1. it's crap
2. you'll probably want to trade it in after a few days and get no money for it and...
3. you have to pay for so much dlc it suddenly isnt so cheap and more wasted money

Re: Is it still worth purchasing this game today?
It's entirely worth the $20. Don't buy it from the games on demand (where here in Canada at least it's going for $25 online, or $20 for the physical version in stores).

If it was just released and going for $60 that's one thing, but this game is a bargain at $20.

For me, it's basically the car/racing game I always wanted but was never possible due to harware restrictions. You have this great open-world, tons of speed, great graphics, lots of modes, no or minimal load times (only loads when starting events), tons to do online, and one of the better online communities of any game.

Regarding above, you don't have to pay for any DLC if you don't want. You get the bikes pack, weather add-on, added challenges, some added car skins and online-only vehicles all for free.

The only things that cost money are:

-new cars (which are not necessary to beat the game or to be competitive online)
- an offline-only local multiplayer Party game
- an online-only capture-the-flag game (cops & robbers)
- Big Surf Island (which if you like the game, is definitely worth the 1000 pts)


I had a couple hundred hours logged before Big Surf Island was even released and can easily say that all of the other DLC is either novelty or personal preference but you can entirely do without. The Island I'd recommend only because it's a lot of fun and a decent value.

BIueHaze, you've never even played Paradise. I checked your profile and compared games. You're obviously a hater coming here only to troll.

Or you're just full of  IT, and trolling as I said. I don't have a problem with bias, so long as your honest about it. Don't pretend to be offering an objective and educated opinion.

Re: Is it still worth purchasing this game today?
well i honestly am very bias, i hate the game because it sucks and imo revenge is better, the points i stated do have some truth to them as well like the fact that once you have brought it cheap you have to get a whole heap of dlc, also that the reason it is cheap is because people don't want it hence why if you trade it in you get a crappy price.

if i was to start trolling i would make a whole new thread which has probably already been done listing the many, MANY things i think suck about this game compared to burnout revenge, but the guy asked a question so i answered it and gave a few reasons.

I would say the game is worth buying only if all the DLC was free. Its a good game, but it gets old really fast.

I killed Nero in Mafia Wars -_-

Re: Is it still worth purchasing this game today?
Yes, a lot of people still play online and the guys over at criterion have been supporting the game since release. Big Surf island just came out awhile back and boy it sure was worth the wait (in my opinion anyways). Yes, the DLC may be over priced but it just depends on how much you like the game, I just hate that they started adding achievements to get you to buy it. 90g and 50g  for $10 each is a really bad deal for DLC that never lived more then a month (party and cops n' robbers packs) and the contents of which are not worth the money. Big Surf was an actual game add-on so I enjoyed it and will continue to enjoy it.

The reason it's cheap is because it's been out awhile and there are a lot of copies still left; a lot of games turn out like this. That logic is also sh*t because you could say the same for the old Sonic and Mario games but guess what genius? People are STILL buying them. Also when you trade it in you get a crappy price because of how popularity works for how MUCH it's traded in; the same reason I can't trade in certain games at an FYE/Gamestop because it gets me .01 but is still a good game.

Being biased about any game without so much playing it (nice going, tool) or at all shows how close-minded you are; nobody should have to play video games and be that way. DLC is just that; optional. If you want it, you can get it for decent prices and thanks to these forums people can tell you which one(s) is/are worth it.


So stop bothering on the BP forums; we know you like Revenge better. Go waste your ridiculous energy posting on their forums instead of your 'durr hurr BP sucks' posting here. Jesus.



Anyways OP, I'd say go ahead and buy it.
