Negative Positive
Title: EA takes a gamble for once.
Review: Innovation is not one of EA's strong suits, and Criterion has basically built the same game over and over. Paradise, on the other hand, does things a little differently, incorporating a big, open world along the lines of a Grand Theft Auto. While the sandbox elements are light, there are a ton of different races to participate in, and once the taste is acquired, it is a good one.However, it won't do anything to convert those who don't care much for racing games--Mario Kart doesn't count!--, and it may alienate those expecting more of the same, which is what EA normally tends to deliver.The on-line play is excellent, smooth, and well-integrated.
