The game’s story is set in “Paradise City” and sees players compete in several street races to progress through the game.

However, unlike other racing games on the list, players can progress at their own pace, as the game does not follow as a strict gameplay framework.

Upon release, Burnout Paradise received positive reviews from critics and won several industry awards, including “Best Driving Game” by GameSpot, Spike TV, & GameTrailers.
