About Burnout

Burnout never had a connected story, so release order is the play order. Burnout 3: Takedown is the classic starting point for crash mode fans, while Paradise is the open world peak.

Good to know

Criterion moved on to Need for Speed and Battlefield, and EA has announced nothing new, so Paradise Remastered (2018) remains the latest release.
