The devs over at Criterion must be happy, their game was received well, their upcoming DLC is looking good and Burnout Paradise, their newest game, has sold over a million units. Now whether you liked the gameplay changes that were introduced or not, this is definitely good news. Selling a million copies in the gaming world almost guarantees a sequel, and this should give Criterion the chance to smooth over any bumps in their game formula. And, not only did Burnout Paradise sell a million units, but those sales pushed the total for the entire Burnout series to over 15 million pieces of software sold. Congrats Criterion, keep up the good work!

I, for once, am not going to congratulate Criterion...a bunch of arrogant pricks they are.

I agree with the above. I still don't like this game, and I've tried it extensively. They've taken an ARCADE game and turned it into just another driving game. All I have now is Takedown and Revenge, as Paradise and the inevitable open-world sequel are going to be sh*t.
No Crash mode... What were they thinking...

I for one, love Burnout Paradise, but then I was never hooked on any of the previous games, kudos to Criterion for developing something new for folks.
I'm disappointed that a lot of previous version players have said they hate it, but sometimes when you develop a new product, it is just that, new!

Yeah, thanks to Criterion for not including English on the German/French discs of the game. Suckers! :-(
