If your copy of Burnout Paradise has been rotting away on your game shelve for more than a few months now, you owe it to yourself to dust the case off and pop the game back into your system of choice.
With the onslaught of updates and downloadable content that have come out lately, you cannot even compare the current form of
Burnout Paradise to its former self. The most recent content, called
the Party Pack, is now available for purchase and can
also be found in Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box.
The boys at Criterion are here to sell you on the idea of the Party Pack, which has up to 8 players trying to achieve the highest score for various rapid-fire challenges. Best of all, you only need one controller to play.
I resisted the urge to buy the Party Pack when I logged into Burnout Paradise last night to test out the new update that also went live yesterday, but this video has me questioning my decision. Did any of you purchase the DLC yet?

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Its going cheap, new and used in most places, I've noticed. Like $20 cheap.
I don't have a need for this DLC :) Good effort though!
I got mine new for Amazon for $20 last week. And I f'n love it.
split screen multiplayer would have been a lot better than repeating the same challenges over and over with a stupid, distracting, brightly coloured HUD.
The HUD colors as psycho_terror said were a bit obstructive, but still, I'd probably get this. Its fun for a little game between friends and at a party. I might pick this up. But Criterion is probably one of my favorite developers.
Also, total side note, but I saw their poster for Black in the background. Wouldn't it be awesome if they made a Black sequel, and then updated it like Burnout Paradise?
