Burnout Paradise Big Surf Island "Roughly the Size of Downtown Paradise"

Criterion Games has been fairly quiet of late, updating their official news blog with filler material...until now.

Once again teasing the approach of the highly anticipated Big Surf Island DLC pack for highway hit Burnout Paradise, Criterion has issued a simple-yet-solid blog post that makes us wish we could have had this pack back in March.

The island is roughly the size of Downtown Paradise, but features gameplay unlike any other area in the game.

Our mantra is 'if you can see it, you can drive it' - which means that even the bridge to the city features multiple levels and massive jumps. The construction yard in the foreground is stacked with gameplay and the scaffold at the top features in one of the island's most memorable pieces of gameplay. Everywhere on the island is like this.

The scaffolds in the construction yard can be scaled and the hoops can be jumped. If you want a taste of what the island is all about, head for the airfield, quarry or beach in Burnout Paradise and imagine an area the size of Downtown dedicated to that kind of action.

I doubt you'll see all of us chomping at the bit to spend yet more money on Burnout DLC...but then again, there are many worse ways to spend ten bucks. Personally, I'm looking forward to this pack, as Burnout Paradise seems to be the perfect fallback game for those rainy days.

This game is awesome. I am going to get this DLC when it comes out. Do we have a release date for this yet??

After all the free DLC we got how come you NOT buy this.

This has to be one of the most massive, inexpensive games on the market right now; I mean, $20 for the game, plus loads of free DLC, and now all this, AMAZING!

If you bought all of the "premium" DLC that has been released so far in 2009, you would have spent more money on DLC than the game itself (which is now $20). After buying the Legendary Cars Pack, the Boost Pack, and the Toy Cars Pack, buying more DLC isn't really top priority for a game that isn't played all that much.

blakepro: no release date yet.

I might buy this, we are happy with the legendary cars right now, but more content is always nice. Gotta love the DLC support for this title! Just imagine if sports games moved to this model...

I love this game, already have soaked over 30 hours into it (i think), I have all the DLC and cant wait to play BSI. If anyone here has the PS3 version and wants to play, shoot me a message whenever you see me.
