In all our days of gaming, Criterion Games is the first known to honorably continue to provide updates, expansions, and innovations to a game: Burnout Paradise. So what's next for Paradise City? Party Packs!

Criterion Games classifies Burnout as an "awesome social game," but the social aspect is restricted to online play. Now, they are changing the playing field by allowing friends in the room with you to party in the city of Paradise. With a "pass-the-pad" concept, only one controller is required to play as the game randomly selects players for challenges. Some of these challenges are: landing a barrel roll, survive oncoming traffic, and best time possible on a dirt-track circuit. Criterion has three types of challenges: Stunt, Speed, and Skill. Extra achievements are provided for the bragging rights.

Furthermore, February 2009 Criterion will release "Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box" with new packaging, consisting of the original game and party pack. Burn-on and burnout racers!
