    Burnout Paradise is the first that comes to mind. In my head it’s the best racing game I’ve ever played. Whenever I see discussions of the Burnout series on the internet, everyone raves about the series but noone mentions Burnout Paradise.

    I imagine it’s because they just liked the older ones more, but I never played them so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I’m not a racing game person but I love this one. You can just run around doing stupid stuff. I find that very liberating.

      Paradise is a crappy shadow of the older ones. I will agree that Burnout was a neat series, but it wasn’t so much of a racing game, as it was a physics simulator that allowed you to crash cars.
