Criterion has finally announced the first paid-for DLC for Burnout Paradise, dubbed Big Surf Island.

Hmpf!...

No PC version...

Better than nothing, because I can't see myself playing the game much more (almost got 101% on car and bike license).

I'll get through the free stuff before I buy anything else. Probably buy it eventually, though.

Not too bad at all, though the bikes update felt more of fluff.

To be honest, I'd love another big, fast island, with some nice tight mountain roads to drift and boost along.

I agree, I love the mountain roads.

I think it'd be neat if we could get snow and ice on mountain roads, maybe randomly generated, would spice things up a bit

Criterion have said somewhere on their forums that the Paradise engine wouldn't be able to handle weather effects.

Just to point out a little problem, the caption for the picture in this article reads "Electronic Arts has announced Big Shot Island for Burnout Paradise", rather than "Big Surf Island".

oh man I still need to get my hands on this game too... ugh so many game so little time and umm money lol.

Fine by me - Criterion have given me a lot of free stuff to go with Burnout - stuff that I've mostly enjoyed and as such I have no problems with paying for this, assuming a reasonable price of course.

^totally agree. criterion deserves to get paid. i mean, a new hat for sackboy costs $2.99 but burnout bikes was free? and not to mention burnout only costs $20 to begin with.

were the other three packs recently announced supposed to be free? (party mode, toy cars, special cars)
