I played it earlier this morning, and was very impressed. Online play has never been easier.
I wasn't able to test the race events, because although the instructions said to pull up to a traffic light and hold the breaks and gas at the same time, it didn't work for me. That may have to do with the fact that many of the roads are blocked off for the demo, and so don't have race routes.
Crashing has always been fun in the Burnout games, but this one tops them all. The crash physics in this iteration blow away the other Burnout games.

I would but I am one of those lucky people in Oklahoma still without power. It's been 5 days now. The demo looks awesome and is getting some pretty decent feedback. I will be getting this as soon as my Xbox has life again.

Maybe he wrote it from a cell phone?

I hope this is half as good as I hope it will be.

I've always been kind of confused about the online aspect. What they've described sounded like what was done in Test Drive Unlimited a while back... Am I just misunderstanding it?

No, I'd say that's pretty accurate (only Burnout Paradise is much more fun). You can jump online with either people from your friend's list, or random strangers.
You use the D-Pad to hop online, and when you do, your Paradise City is seamlessly joined with the other players' versions. There's no loading or anything.

Been downloading the demo for a few hours now (as well as the Frontlines demo which is nearly 2 gigs so yeah, they're taking a while).
Your comments make this one 'sound' fun but why can't we just go back to the simplicity that was the Burnout 3 arcade style? :( :(

It's funny that you mention simplicity, because in fact, Burnout Paradise is seems to be the simplest of all the Burnout games. No menus, no loading, just jump in and play.

Simple doesn't always mean free roam and no menus. If I lose a race and I want to restart, what is more simple, going ALL the way back to the beginning while still avoiding traffic or pushing start then Restart?
I would've preferred a next-gen Burnout 3.

I just tried it this morning, and I loved it. The online was a blast in 'free' mode. Me and three others just drove around crashing into each other and racing for about an hour.

When I typed my comments about Burnout 3, I was essentially referring to the lack of the 'world' map/sandbox style gameplay.
I prefer the options to either race, crash, or Takedown. I don't want to search all over a world and find locations, AI characters, earn money or try to find a race. I just want easy to interface menus that say 'race', 'crash' 'takedown' , etc.
I can't wait to try this demo and see if my perspectives change!

You're asking what I wanted as well, and we're out of luck.
Just played the demo, and frankly I didn't enjoy it at all. I liked Burnout for the races, and it seems that they shifted all the attention to the open world and doing stunts and whatever.
Oh well, thats $60 less I have to spend.

Just view problems with it
1. It's small (but most demo's are that way)
2. The map doesn't rotate
I just played it for like 20 min but it looks like a really fun game...

"We're definitely queuing this bad boy up for download, how about you?"
It would be nice if I could queue it up from xbox.com and have it start downloading when I turn on my 360.

I might mention this to Major Nelson on his blog page but the next dash update needs to offer real-time 'active download' status information readable on Xbox.com. I'd love to know, when I'm away from my Xbox, how far along the download is.
