The first in the Burnout series to be ported to the PC, Burnout Paradise is an arcade driving/racing game. Unlock dozens of cars each featuring a detailed damage model and packing large amounts of "boost". Enter a challenge at every crossroad in Paradise City, from "orienteering" races to stunt contests - or freely roam the streets, train tracks, multiple-storey parking lots and buidings roofs in search of Super Jumps or "smashables" to add to your achievements list. With a host of community tools, modes and leaderboards, the game is also strongly oriented towards online multiplayer.

The PC edition of Burnout Paradise is entitled The Ultimate Box as it contains the hotseat Party mode and the Bikes and Cagney packs in addition to the original game, whereas they were optional add-on packs on consoles.

In Triple Monitors mode, menus and outcome screens are displayed on the center screen, while a blurred 3D world lives on on the side screens. Letterboxing covers the whole display until you get back to the game. The HUD Position setting has no effect here, all that matters is the number of monitors.
