Burnout Bikes Now Available

Burnout Bikes Now Available
Written Thursday, September 18, 2008 by Dan Webb

The guys over at Criterion have just updated their blog to inform us that the Burnout Bikes Pack is now available to download... for free!

In what they call their "most ambitious pack yet", the world of Paradise City and Burnout for that fact, are introduced to the world of motor bikes. What exactly does the pack consist of you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked, because this is what you will receive:

  • Pick from 2 motorcycles featuring male or female characters and start on a whole new progression to earn your Bike License.
  • 38 new against-the-clock race events – Burning Ride and Midnight Ride.
  • A brand new in-game 24 hr day / night cycle that impacts traffic density and available events.  (It's fully customisable – you can make it day/night/change the clock speed – it's up to you.)
  • Dynamic weather brings an all-new look to Paradise City
  • And if that's not enough, we've got 70 more Freeburn Challenges too

For more details, head on over to the blog and take a look.

Nice to see they still support this game with free DLC.

It may be free but that dont make it good. You cant online race, it looks like complete crap when they crash, the bikes cant back/frontflip getting rid of major stunts and no new Achievements... Oh and in night mode you can see bot all cause the street lights dont work! The only good thing is the bikes handle very nicely. 4/10 :(

1ST Comment....Only JokinG!!!

looking forward to this when i get home to download it later...hope its not as bad as Medaking says as i will be disappointed....free it is though so i hope that free isnt gonna mean crap.
shame no more achivements as this would be a DLC well worth a defo look for all who havent traded in the game yet.
I havent yet...hopefully i'll be thanking my Lazy arse for that later(cant be bothered to trade it)

Yeah, it would make sense to have proper achievements for this. Instead there are in-game 'Paradise Awards', which are just the same as achievements. I guess the reason they haven't made them proper achievements is that they'd have to charge for the DLC?

(I'm also getting slightly sick of it awarding me my C license after every burning ride. Come on Criterion, you can do better than that.)

Who cares as long as it's free. I bet there are far worse games out there that people have actually paid for that arent even as good as this update. Granted most of those games are wii mini game collections!

Its a lot of content for a game thats been out nearly a year and its free you cannot moan about that, but alas i can a little some new achieves would of been nice but then you would defo have to pay as they have to be linked to microsoft to register on your gamerscore remember EA uses its own servers not MS.

I am realy glad to see the addition of more free DLC and Freeburn challenges. Criterion deserves and applause for this. Nice job.

I gotta say, I wasn't a huge fan of this. I much preferred the multiplayer party style of the previous Burnout, not to mention the crashes were much more fun.

But, with all this downloadable content, it might be time for me to blow the dust off this title and stick it in the drive again.

More free content on more games is good though. Bad Company and Frontlines have just got loads of free multiplayer DC. I'm loving it!

Awesome, this might get me back to playing this game. Bikes shold have been thier to begin with , but now they are so they made up for it. And the day and night cycles seems to add some extra flare. Go Burnout!

Poor people never cease to amaze me with thier comments. Next they'll expect retail games to be free and Xbox Live.

@ #2 - You must have your TV and super dark, because you can see perfectly well when it turns to night. It actually doesn't turn fully dark, more like dusk.

I agree with the comment above, about some of the comments. It's FREE for fecks sake, and in my opinion a very good update for FREE.

Unlike the COD4 maps which were a rip off for essentially piss poor re-hashed maps.

Well done Criterion!

I just wish that someone over there at Criterion Games would give the desighers a shake to wake them up to the demand for BLACK 2, the answer we at britisholdskoolsoldiers.com got was that they thought they would rather concentrate on a driving game due to all the competition in war games??? What, as opposed to the total lack of titles in the driving section then?? wake up and smell what you are shovelling Criterion and bring back BLACK!!!

It makes me laugh that people get childish when others make key points.... why go to all the trouble of making loads of dlc...and then not sticking more chieves in there. who really is going to complete all the new events sans reward.

Why does everything have to have achievements to be worth playing? Surely as long as it is fun it's worth playing?

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
