Paradise is simply not a Burnout game. It's a great racing game, but there's nothing Burnout about it.
I'll take Burnout 3 or even Burnout Revenge any day. That crash junctions are the series bread and butter.
I also strongly agree that Burnout 3: Takedown and Burnout Revenge are the best in the series, the most focused and polished.. Burnout Paradise is OK but lacks something those other two have.
Whenever I think about Burnout Paradise I think about somebody (I think it was Yahtzee) describing the world of Burnout Paradise as a post apocalyptic nightmare world where cars have taken over, and one lone human hides out in his radio station broadcasting desperately to a murderous mechanical audience.
While it's possible that a different reviewer applied that hypothetical headcanon to the Burnout series, I believe you're actually thinking of Ross' Game Dungeon. Specifically the Trackmania Canyon video, not Burnout.
