Burnout Paradise

Burnout Paradise (2008)

by Criterion Games, Electronic Arts
Genres:Racing
Themes:Open world, Action, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Evolve or die. For Paradise, we knew we had to change everything. Burnout was a killer arcade driving game, but for a new generation of hardware and connected player Burnout had to become something more ambitious. Closed tracks made way for an expansive, open city, and we seamlessly synced your friends into the action and let you loose on a heap of cool challenges that unsurprisingly rewarded you for driving like a lunatic. Hey, it’s us after all.Show more

Why the Original Burnout Paradise Should Be on GOG Burnout Paradise (2008) is one of the most thrilling arcade racing games ever made. With its open-world design, insane crash physics, and high-speed action, it redefined what a racing game could be. The original PC version captured the heart of fans with its raw intensity, tight controls, and a killer licensed soundtrack featuring artists like Guns N’ Roses and Killswitch Engage. However, the original release has become increasingly difficult to access. The Remastered version, while improved in some ways, altered or removed certain features, music, and visual elements that made the classic version feel unique. That’s why GOG should bring back the original Burnout Paradise, DRM-free and optimized for modern PCs—complete with controller support and the original licensed music. GOG’s commitment to preserving important gaming titles makes it the perfect home for this fan-favorite. Let’s give Paradise City the digital preservation it deserves.

A major difference in game play compared to predecessors in the series is the ability to extend wings from the cars in midair and glide. As with previous titles in the franchise, Rush 2049 features a stunt mode in which the player scores points for complex mid-air maneuvers and successful landings. There is also a multiplayer deathmatch battle mode. There are six race tracks, four stunt arenas, eight battle arenas, and one unlockable obstacle course named The Gauntlet. The single player race mode places emphasis on outlandish and death-defying shortcuts in each track. The game has a soundtrack mostly comprising techno music.

Sega Rally Championship
Sega Rally ChampionshipSega Rally Championship is a 1994 arcade racing game developed by AM5 on the Sega Model 2 board. The unique selling point of Sega Rally was the ability to drive on different surfaces (including asphalt, gravel and mud), with different friction properties, with the car's handling changing accordingly. As the first racing game to incorporate this feature, Sega Rally is considered to be one of the milestones in the evolution of the racing game genre. The music for the arcade game was composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, while the Sega Saturn port's soundtrack was done by Naofumi Hataya and the Guitar were played by Joe Satriani.
