With the release of the Cops and Robbers DLC for Burnout Paradise (PS3, Xbox 360), next on the queue for Criterion Games is Big Surf Island, the next paradise in which you'll be burning the rubber on your rides. This pack introduces nine new vehicles, a new summer getaway, and some serious hang time when you jump your ride off a ramp. Sound good yet? Wait til you get a load of the trailer.



For the new vehicles, you'll get the Carson Dust Storm outright, but you'll have to win the other eight by playing through the game. For that, you get to play through new events as well as Freeburn Challenges. If you enjoy going, "I didn't know you could jump over there!" on Burnout Paradise, then this DLC may be your summer's must-have.

The Big Surf Island DLC for Burnout Paradise will be available on June 11th on PSN, Xbox Live, and the Burnout Store. Price? We'll let you know once Electronic Arts or Criterion Games makes the announcement.



And yes, it'll have extra Trophies:

Damn, I would totally buy all DLC for Burnout Paradise, but I think the price is way too high. 8 Euros for 4 cars? nope.

I believe in add-ons/expansions. Not micro transactions...

Make the first couple DLCs free to earn respect and good faith among customers, then make the rest ridiculously high priced.

I guess I can't complain because they don't need to make anything, this game is years old now and for people who love it this DLC allows them to keep playing. But the price for most of these is waaay up there

I think they've been great value so far and not expensive at all. And at least you're getting quality new content for your money and not forced into a monthly subscription like MMORPGs and crap like that. I initially felt a little ripped off by the Cops + Robbers one but the more I played that mode I realised I'd clocked up a heck of a lot of hours of fun that made the price more than worth it. Certainly better value than some commercial game purchases I've made in the last year (Prince of Persia and Fallout 3 being the ones I regret most on my PS3)

And Burnout Paradise ain't 'years old'. It only came out in January of last year and it's still by far the best racing game around.

Criterion can keep having my money as long as they keep providing great DLC for an already fantastic game.
