Chart Track UK: Burnout Paradise sizzles on top, January 28 - Image 1Criterion's Burnout Paradise has done very well in its first week out - and that's in the week ending January 28 - in the UK, zooming past SEGA's Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (now at second) and Activision's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (now at third). The newcomer also serves as EA's third bid in an attempt to outnumber other publisher's top ten qualifying titles.

Nintendo, however, isn't backing down from a fight, as Wii Play with Wii Remote continues to hold strong fourth place. Replacing the Wii Play in its oft occupied seat is the also long-running The Simpsons Game tails close behind at sixth. Spot number seven goes to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed, which manages to hold EA's FIFA 08 down at eighth.

THQ's Ratatouille, however, is the week's most impressive comeback, jumping more than 20 spots to number nine, pushing Nintendo's More Brain Training from Dr. Kawashima to a hair's edge at number ten. At the most sales front by unit per platform, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games outnumbers any figures Burnout Paradise could spew on either the Microsoft Dr Kawashima's Brain Training
from Nintendo, though EA's Xbox 360 or the Sony PlayStation 3 - ranked second and third in that order.

In quick summary, here are the final results on UK's Chart Track top ten for the week ending January 28:
  1. Burnout Paradise (Criterion, Electronic Arts)
  2. Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games (SEGA, SEGA)
  3. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare (Infinity Ward, Activision)
  4. Wii Play (Nintendo, Nintendo)
  5. Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training (Nintendo, Nintendo)
