I will always champion Burnout Paradise as the perfect , or as close to perfect as there ever was , social racing game . The easy drive menu , how smoothly the transition from offline to online is , the literally hundreds upon hundreds of challenges , the stunt runs or marked man games . it was so much fucking fun . The only thing I wish it let you did was sit out of an event if you pleased . I wish so badly a title like Forza would incorporate such a damn good system with similar games and challenges . We have a kickass car list , an awesome handling model , the best vinyl editor around , and nothing to do with it . We don ' t even have the ability to make truly custom races . I know I ' m sounding like an ungrateful little bitch . All I ' m saying is that there ' s a good reason why after a couple hundred hours of Horizon 3 , I am bored , but I dumped over 4000 hours into Paradise without even realizing it .
