Do any of you have this game?  I just bought it a couple days ago for PS3 and so far I'm pretty addicted.  Paradise City is freakin' huuuuuge.  I've played the game for maybe 7 hours total so far and I don't think I've even explored the whole city yet!  Doing stunts and ramming people off the road are my current favorite things to do but even basic racing is a blast.  I haven't tried Cops and Robbers yet but it looks like it could be fun too.  Sometimes I find the most joy in just driving around and exploring though.  Is that weird?  I really dig the option of having the time of day in the city based on your actual local time, that's a nice touch.  The online is incredible too, so easy to get started and it's FREE (thanks Sony!).  It's nice and responsive, has voice chat, tons of fun challenges, and the "smugshots" feature is pretty clever.. I gave a couple dudes the one finger salute earlier after wrecking them, haha.

Anyway.. best 20 bucks I've spent on a game in a while!  If you have a PS3 and this game, hit me up on PSN (the_miker).  I'm up for some driving fun!

I haven't got the cops and robbers add-on but, yes, I have the game and really like it. There's a lot of fun in the game and I really enjoy the marked man challenges. I don't get a massive amount out of the races though. Navigating and choosing routes breaks up the actual racing for me and, in my opinion, left that aspect too loose. The controlled circuits of Burnout Revenge are, to me, far more gratifying.

Still, finding the billboards and jumps is fun and many of the modes are great. Definitely enjoyable and an ambitious game.

I'll second Jay's comments on Burnout Revenge. My neighbor has the game; it's very fun and it's something I should own myself since it's not very often a racing game catches my attention.

I couldn't get into Paradise as much as the older games.  Didn't really care for the open world structure, and I really, really missed the Aftertouch feature.

Burnout 3: Takedown still remains to be my favorite in the series.

I've got it, but don't play it much.  Maybe it's just too open.  Would love to race with you sometime though!
