And you thought the Legendary Cars pack for Burnout Paradise was through? Hardly. The Jansen 88 Special (aka the Back to the Future hovercar) was just the first among four! Today, we get to see the other cars and they're just as much a blast from the past indeed. Feast your eyes on these monsters!
  • Manhattan Spirit - modified to look like the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters, has some "special ability" when you hit L3 and boost up.
  • Carson GT Nighthawk - modified to look like KITT from Knight Rider, it should look cool especially at night, with the special boost-triggered light array (Hoff not included)
  • Cavalry Bootlegger - modified to look like General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard, hit L3 to toot on that huge horn

The Legendary Cars pack goes live for both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Criterion Games' Burnout Paradise in the near future.

I think you have to buy those cars, and every other dlc from criterion that will be coming out.

Hence as it says press X to buy now

Because they just are! And that's why I had Criterion Games listed as my Developer of the Year. Wooot!

Because they're based in the UK ;o)

Can't quite peg it, but none of the other games are as good as Burnout 3. I could sit on Burnout 3 playing road rage races for hours. I think my highest kill count was 127 on one race, using one of the supercars



Burnout Paradise is definitely right behind it on the scale of Burnout epicness tho

I tell u why, they found a niche and filled it. Constantly updating their game is another way to sell the game even when its old, hey it worked on me. I just hope they dont sink low and overcharge us.

I think B3 might still be my favorite. The first thing I noticed in Burnout Revenge was that the crashes were made more realistic which means that they were less ridiculously exaggerated and amusing as in the previous games. Also, I still prefer crash mode with the multipliers, etc. over bouncing around by pressing a button.
