Burnout Paradise's gameplay is set in the fictional "Paradise City", an open world in which players can compete in several types of races.

Burnout Paradise features several free updates that introduce new features such as a time-of-day cycle, and motorcycles. It also features paid downloadable content in the form of new cars and the fictional "Big Surf Island". The song "Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses is featured as the game's theme song. Paradise was received well by critics, with aggregators GameRankings and Metacritic both reporting an average score of 88/100.
