As the other reviewer stated, not a lot has changed. If you have Burnout Paradise already, don't waste time buying this as it is not worth it (most of the extras can be downloaded via updates) but if you don't have this game yet… BUY IT NOW!!!

There is SO MUCH MORE to come with this game in future!!!

New cars have been released (including one that floats/hovers – awesome!!) A NEW ISLAND is coming soon to the already MASSIVE city

I have had Burnout Paradise for over a year since it came out and it simply is amazing. The crashing and damage effects are breakthroughs in gaming and the graphics are very good, too.

Online multiplayer is also stunning, however this package includes new party modes for a brilliant offline pass-the-controller experience.

The best driving game ever made just keeps getting better and better!

Having already owned burnout paradise, I thought I wouldn't get much more out of the ultimate box but I was very wrong.

The party mode is essentially the only extra mode that separates this and the original game (as you can download the other Cagney pack etc free with burnout paradise). But this extra mode is worth the upgrade in my opinion.

Up to 8 players can perform various stunts around the city, it was great for a party recently. It is turn-based however so the controller got passed around instead of all in action but it was still worthwhile.

Just to clarify, the “Ultimate Box” features added content of some bikes, the Party Pack where you can choose to race or do stunts against your friends or family but other than that, nothing else.

The Party pack, bikes along with a host of other DLC such as

Cops & Robbers

Legendary Cars

Boost Specials

Big Surf Island

Toy Cars

Are all available off the PSN Store, so in other words, even if you miss out on the Ultimate Box, you can still purchase them.

Burnout Paradise is the best racer on the PS3 and even this generation, any Burnout fan will enjoy it as the thrilling speed is still evident along with the ability to cruise around the city collecting 120 Billboards, doing 120 events which include races, stunt runs and of course road rage.

You will not finish this game in any short space of time, I spent over 60hrs completing everything and over 80hrs online doing the 500 challenges.

It is well worth it with up to 80 cars all with specific uses. One thrilling game that will please any racing fan, Burnout fan or any gamer.

I don't know how Criterion make better and better games each time. 10/10.
