I’ve got it on Switch, even there I found it so much fun.
I get a bit of tunnel vision while I’m racing in it. Concentrating so hard on the driving I can barely look at the map during races.

I put Burnout: Paradise on the boys’ laptop last night and it works like a charm. It was a pirate copy because you can’t by the original anymore. I don’t know how Fitgirl gets away with it because it didn’t just install, it was downloading additional files to complete the installation. Like, from where? Where is she hosting these files and how haven’t they been tracked yet? Amazing work

Just driving around in it is so much fun. I found the races could get repetitive since you had those 8 places all races ended at, so they could get samey after a while. But the takedown races were always fun

I am STILL hanging out for a Need for Speed most wanted (2005) remaster!

Even if that doesn’t happen there are some great community mods that would add a lot of modern quality of life updates to it

I may have a ps3 copy somewhere 🤔

I remember playing it towards to end of highschool. The version I downloaded then didn’t have the motorbike expansion so I have some new content to look forward to

How is it different to the $6 version on Steam?
I spent my youth pirating every game under the sun, so I can’t really judge you for using a pirated game - but I just pay the $6 these days. Which is how I’ve ended up with hundreds of games I’ve never played. No regrets though - the kids will discover that library soon, and I feel like I need to make it up to game developers a bit for that misspent youth I just mentioned. 😀

This is the original 2008 version you can’t buy anymore, and it’s on an old laptop from like 2012 I put linux mint on.
So I don’t want to go through installing and logging into steam on this laptop when a pair of 2 year olds are going to slap it to death.
The laptop probably couldn’t run the remastered version and I figured the original could be pushing it if I got it working

I’ve been using Fitgirl for ages and had no issue. Do you mean during the actual expansion and installation, or grabbing the microsoft libraries?

During the actual installation, not doing direct x and the redistibutables. It was like she has her own version of steam going on.
I’d trust fitgirl completely anyway and the biggest defence against anything dodgy on this laptop is it’s running linux which is defacto antivirus in itself
