Burnout 3: Takedown is the only answer.
Paradise is massively over rated IMO and was more and more frustrating to play the more time you put into it. Having a crash mode could have elevated it a little more but 3 would have still won out for me.
I agree with you on Burnout 3. But Paradise has a per street crash mode high score, which while not as good as 3s, is enough to scratch the devastation itch, and it's easily accessed on steam. So I don't think it's fair to say it has no crash mode. Just a vastly inferior one!
I never played any Burnout games aside from Paradise. Paradise, to this day, remains my favorite racing game ever made.
What could I be missing by not playing the older games?
Got Paradise after playing Takedown into the ground and words could not express my disappointment. I had fun and all but it never felt as good as Takedown did. Open world and Burnout is just not my favorite combination
Couldn't agree more, open world and racing for me never really mix well.
I think the best thing about Paradise was it was a new generation of consoles and the graphics really had a feel for its own. The crashes were great. But no crash mode just let it down. I kinda enjoyed the open world concept. But Takedown is 100% THE burnout game.
