The team at EA have done an excellent job of adjusting the controls so that even the smaller analog sticks on the Joy Cons feel responsive and well-tuned, so that no matter how you play the game, you always feel in precise control of the action.

Of course the game handles well when docked and played on a TV with a Pro Controller, but I have found many third party games on Switch donвЂ™t do a great job of adjusting controls to work and feel well on the Joy Cons, which is exceptionally important when playing in handheld mode or even when using them is your only control option in general. Burnout Paradise: Remastered feels great on Switch, and it even does an excellent job of accounting for some of the unique constraints of the system. You can confidently settle into the game for high speed races on the go or on your couch, with no discernible performance issues distracting you from making hairline adjustments as you bob and weave through blissfully unsuspecting commuter cars and those damn vans so you can bash one of your opponents into the side railing and line up your epic jump across the river.

Yes, the Switch release of Burnout Paradise Remastered runs at a full 60 frames per second, with nary a hitch or drop to be found. Believe it or not, Burnout Paradise Remastered on the Nintendo Switch is an absolute dream it is a rock solid performer that runs every bit as well as you remember, and it is a true delight to play. Plus, this doesnвЂ™t just need to run decently, it needs to hit a consistently high frame rate and be incredibly responsive to be worth a damn. Sure, the original game came out in 2008, but weвЂ™ve seen ports even older suffer from performance problems. You would be understandably concerned then, that Burnout Paradise Remastered on a lower powered platform like the Nintendo Switch might be a compromised experience, a shoddy reproduction of the genuine article.

Any stutters, hitches or slowness would serve to break the illusion entirely. And what you probably also know is that in order for the Burnout Paradise experience to truly вЂњworkвЂќ, it has to run at blazing fast speeds and with appropriate smoothness and flair so as to allow the thrill of weaving through busy intersections at hilariously unsafe speeds with an absurd amount of nitro boost pushing you well past your carвЂ™s limits to actually land correctly.

Of course, if youвЂ™ve ever played Burnout Paradise, you already know all of this. It is in many ways a masterpiece, showcasing how strong video games can be not as art, but as sources of pure entertainment and glee, which frankly is something of an artistic achievement in its own right. Burnout Paradise is the rare game where every single aspect sings together in beautiful harmony, and it creates an impactful, joyful experience that still feels exciting and unbelievably fun to play today. It also happens to be an absolute blast to play and sports some of the most incredibly cohesive game design IвЂ™ve seen the car handling, world design, art direction, extra objectives, event types, and even the soundtrack choices all work in tandem to create a thrilling, raucous playground. It was a drastically influential game that had a lasting impact on the design of racing games.

You can see ParadiseвЂs DNA in everything from Need for Speed to Forza Horizon to the DiRT series and well beyond. It may not be everybodyвЂ™s favorite Burnout game, but it certainly is my favorite, and it is undeniable that Burnout Paradise revolutionized the casual/arcade racing genre, and important groundwork that many racing games in multiple sub genres are still built on today. Burnout Paradise is unquestionably one of the best racing games at all time.
