Burnout 5 gives players the license to wreak havoc in Paradise City, the ultimate seamless racing battlefield. With a vast infrastructure of busy roads, every inch of the world is designed to deliver heart-pounding gameplay in true Burnout style. Every intersection is a potential crash hotspot, and every alley is an opportunity to rack up violations.

Of course, rules are meant to be broken. When players enter Paradise City, they receive a license that records the most aggressive, reckless, and destructive driving maneuvers. But it's not the law that monitors players' progress. If players push their luck too far, they'll have to face the most notorious burners in the city, and these legends aren't interested in who crosses the finish line first.

• Burnout: Paradise represents a seamless open-world gameplay experience.
• The entire world is unlocked from the start.
• There are 34 AI drivers in the world, all present from the beginning of the game.
• Players begin each gaming session in free drive, without a fixed path through the game.
