it actually drives real nice. P12 with a bit more top end power and some downforce.

does this get unlocked by the time saver pack? That would be BS.

Getting 500 is no small task. I've played for around 60 hours total and I only have about 92 or so (granted, not all of that time was online). You pretty much gotta get your own game going and either have friends help you or lock the game when a person gets in so you can do 2 people challenges, then 3, 4 and so on.

I have a couple friends on my list that already have it. I'm about 50 challenges away from getting it myself... but I'm in no rush to get it. I'm more than happy with my 101% complete. :)

I just have to ask. Is Criterion trying to make the greatest arcade racer of all time? Because they're doing a terrific job getting there.

Agreed. I think they are pretty damn close. The replay value is unmatched.

Agreed on the replay value. I'm at 150 hours and counting (plus bike time, still need to finish my bike license/road rules).

I've had it since the first day Big Surf Island came out, since the ten island freeburn challenges weren't too daunting. I had an unhealthy addiction to Burnout Paradise's multiplayer last summer, and worked my way through the 490 previous challenges after *far* too much repetition.

To be honest, I didn't even realize the P12 Diamond was a super-special car until people started mentioning it as such. I thought it was just a decent "great job completing everything on the island" prize car. It's OK and handles well, I suppose, but I still prefer the dune buggy or the GT Concept.

+1... It's not free... It's included in the pack and you unlock it by completing all 500 challenges.

Uh, surely in that case none of the free DLC is free as you get it with the game, you just have to complete the game to get it.

Are you kidding? The free DLC was released separately from anything else. The diamond car comes with the Island DLC and is listed as one of 9 Island cars on your island license. They are two completely different things.

I tried to like this game, but I just couldn't. I think I may revisit the game this Summer, but last year I spent a lot more time with GRiD than I did with Burnout. I think with all the new updates and all, this game deserves a second look a year later, though.

So you can easily unlock a car that flies but have to spend 567654567 Hours 100% completing the game to unlock a car with a diamond on the side?

Anywho, i might just get this, it looks better than i thought, (the island)

I love this game, and thought the Island pack was fantastic, but I never did that much online stuff and only have about 80 challenges done. Props to anyone that does all 500.

Got mine today, and I've seen plenty around.

An essential tip is that hosting your own freeburn will rapidly increase your pace.

It really depends on your connection. Mine is personally rated really poorly, so not many people will join. I have a better time joining an already in-progress game, and getting the host to do the challenges I need for that number of people.

Arn't all these cars the same performance wise? Do they only vary on aesthetics?

somewhat on topic:

I still can't find the last megajump in the game. It says I have completed 14 out of the 15, but I seriously cannot find it, and have been going around like a madman doing every jump I see. Anyone care to make a map of them so I can hit them and cross them off? I feel like its probably one that I jumped but crashed on, so it didn't count

1) Go To Google
2) type "Burnout Paradise Mega Jumps"

Figure it out from there.

Except the site you upload your savegame to doesn't include the island so its actually no use to finding the mega-jumps.

um, this has been known since the day the island came out. i got my p12 that night. not exactly sure why you guys are posting this now...and with a video on how to do it. it's not like you can cheat it and unlock it or anything.

it's the weakest award in the game especially for something that requires so much work.

So, what exactly are you going to do with this car if you unlock it by *doing everything*?

I've always been a little perplexed by these styles of unlockables. Make you work so hard in the game for something that is essentially useless (yes, I realize that comment is full of irony, but still)

I don't like these kinds of end-game rewards either, but only because I'll never EVER attain them. They are cool for people who are really into the games but I wish most of them had alternative unlock methods (I'm looking at you Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy!). Paradise is a lot of fun though, one of the few games where the slow progression of unlocking the good stuff seems worth it.

Well, it's supposed to be a reward for doing everything in the game, giving another unlock method would kind of defeat the purpose. Also, Luigi isn't particularly hard to unlock, just have to be careful with the purple coins :P

Depends on how you look at it. I like Burnout Paradise. I like freeburn challenges. I like saying I have 100% in something.

In other words, I'd have done them all even with no car at the end.

I'm a bit bummed that this probably means that they won't be adding any more challenges, though.

First island car I earned, got it in 5 minutes easy. Not worth the months of work prior to the island as there are cars much, much, much better.
