Parent notes
Disable voice chat in online lobbies to avoid exposure to mature language. Remind the child that the 'Showtime' crash mode is cartoon physics and not real-life behavior. Set clear boundaries on playtime as the fast-paced nature can lead to overstimulation.
The Connection Grade™ breakdown
Four things we grade, each one judged on what this game actually does. Open any row to see why.
Burnout Paradise lacks split-screen for its open-world races, meaning shared play relies entirely on pass-the-controller Party Mode or one person serving as an active co-pilot.
Skills this builds
- Acting as navigator calling out street signs and shortcuts while the driver steers
- Passing the controller between rounds during turn-based Party Mode stunts
- Spotting roaming target cars together to hunt down vehicle unlocks
Try this together
During a race, have the non-driving player watch the flashing street name signs and call out upcoming turns ahead of time.
