Hey folks … great to be back on the only blog that counts (apart from the one you’ll find at www.criteriongames.com, of course).
We’re continuing to support Burnout Paradise through 2009. The fun starts with our Burnout Paradise Party Pack in Feb and will be followed by our awesome Burnout Paradise Legendary Cars Pack.
This year, we’ve introduced some of the most incredible vehicles yet seen in a Burnout game. Our FREE Cagney pack brought you the crazy Steel Oval Racer and the Hippie Wagon, and the FREE Bikes Pack introduced motorcycles to Paradise City for the first time ever.
In 2009, we’re taking Burnout vehicles to the next level with some truly unbelievable new vehicles. First up – The Jansen 88 Special.
This classic 1980’s styled silver sports car is based on the fan-favourite Jansen P12, but we’ve made a few interesting modifications.
Fill the gauge and hit boost to trigger burning flame trails from your back wheels. The 88 Special’s fast, manoeuvrable and great in the air.
[b]In fact, if you want to take off, this is just the car for you. Hit L3 to switch to hover mode – the wheels retract and the car takes off and hovers through Paradise City at head height.
Seriously. It hovers. [/b]
This is the first of 4 cars that we’re making available as part of a wealth of new downloadable content for Burnout Paradise. They’re available to buy individually or discounted, if you pick up the whole set. In addition to the Jansen 88 Special, look out for the Cavalry Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and the GT Nighthawk!
We’ll bring you details and footage of these in a future post or on Crash TV (our video podcast), and we’ll be back next week with another killer announcement for next year’s awesome Burnout Paradise content.
And as always, we’re on hand for a while to answer your questions below! | | | | Signature banned: Reason out of date... |

| | Posted: | | | | Haha, they dropped the airplane, they never said they dropped flying! Well, it says hovering only, we'll see.
While I have little use for the party pack I am interested in the DeLorean (and from I see there may be more to be announced; it says Legendary Cars). | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | Well it does say: In addition to the Jansen 88 Special, look out for the Cavalry Bootlegger, Manhattan Spirit and the GT Nighthawk! That is near the end. So there is going to be at least 3 other cars. Also, I got all 490 challenges done so I'm at 102%  woo hoo. -Shark2k |

Looking forward to further reveals. (Unless, of course, those are cars from previous games whcih people just liked so much they are making a comeback here...) | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.
