Re: Burnout Paradise
 

I jumped into an online game this weekend and everyone was in a police car except for me, and they all started chasing me around. Is the police car an unlockable?

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

you get the police car by beating the burning route for whatever the regular car is. (can't think of the name right now)

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

No, it's one that you have to take down. According to gamefaqs, it shows up once you've won 98 events.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

So it shows up after 98 events and you take it down and you can use it?

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

oh right. It's been a while since I've earned it. so like every other car, you take it down to own it. When you do the burning route for the police car, you get the alternate version.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

thanks! big help

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Just wanted to note you get a number of cars free without having to take them down, but most of them you have to take down.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

I got the police car yesterday! :D

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

n00b question: Is there a way to turn off the webpage that loads every time I start the game and it logs on to the network? I can't find any settings for it. I'm playing the PS3 version, if that makes a difference.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

No I tried and asked on another board.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

I too just got this game. Very fun and have no clue what to do. The difficulty is up there too. To win you definitely need to earn it. Loving the open box nature of it! 360 version here!

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Burnout Paradise Toy Pack is now available. 1000 points for all 8 cars plus a motorcycle.

I might wait to see how the cars look from someone else online before purchasing.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Yeah, I'm curious about them too.

I may end up buying one, just to check.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

So the cars are just bubbly cartoony versions of cars already available? Are they miniature in size on screen?

Sounds stupid as shit so far.

I don't know if I can argue that. I bought the $12.99 add on and I really can't argue its worth it, but I do like the way they handle. They are tinier versions with more RC car like handling and turning. They also fly much higher and further. I keep buying this DLC even though I think its way overpriced, but I have to admit I have had fun with the Legendary pack and I can see myself enjoying the toys as well.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

So if you're playing online, can you have a mix of regular cars and toy cars? Cause that would be insane...

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

yep.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Thats too expensive than if theyre just kid versions of cars. Maybe $5 max for the pack. Im not getting this crap. I will get the Legendary Cars though!

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Its a blast to play this way. Granted marked man is no fun when you are in the toy and they are not, but all the other challenges are great.

Got all the trophies for the toys, but the bad news is if you want the trophy for the Nighthawk you may have to back up your save and start a new game. I had to. Hopefully Criterion patches that at some point.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Another week and the same thoughts on the DLC. I love it but damn is it overpriced. $7.99 for 2 cars? Granted I'm enjoying both cars, but they have to be kidding with the pricing. The Hawker is my favorite car in the game so getting one with all 3 boost modes is cool even if the weird neon look of the car is anything but cool. The extreme hot rod is also fun to drive with its locked on boost.

I've continued to buy the DLC because I love the game, but they had better make up for these overprice cars with an affordable Big Surf Island add on.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Big Surf Island showed up at $20. The extra cars are ridiculously overpriced, so any other "premium" DLC will likely be overpriced as well. Too bad, I was looking forward to the DLC keeping this game interesting.

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

If I get 1 toy car (other than the bike) which would you say is the best?

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Well, these cars are not really needed to enjoy or "finish" the game. They are true DLC. Some luxuries that you can pay if you want to. And it's not like the game was released last month and they are releasing DLC now.

Oh and I still need to unlock a lot of cars from the game!

Re: Burnout Paradise
 

Haven't played this in a while and have a quick question.

This new page that shows you news and stats and cars you can buy at the beginning and then you have to move the mouse-like cursor over to "return to game screen" from where you actually tell the game that you came to play the game... is there a way to default to the game screen?

The old way where they had the news and stuff while the game loaded was fine, but this is just ridiculous.
