I don't think there is a modern equivalent.

Fucking Paradise ruined everything, thanks EA.

The closest you'll get is Hot Pursuit.

Don't bother though, it's garbage.

Shit handling, feels slow, and rubber banding that breaks the game.

Paradise was the last good criterion game.

Protip: if a racing game has tons of nigger music in the soundtrack, it's going to be shit.

Conversely if it has the shittiest of a shitty genre of music such as trash metal or whatever the fuck those pop-ish but not j-pop japanese songs are, it's going to be a really good game.

What's wrong with Paradise?

It's the only one I played and now that I have a PS2, I would love to try out the older ones.

Crashes and takedowns are limp as fuck compared to the third game.

It's incredibly easy because races end the second you can get a straight boost because they couldn't bother to make actual race courses and instead have you racing in this open world city where the direct route is the absolute fastest.

Three types of cars except the types feel redundant and the only difference is how you gain boost.

>What is the modern equivalent of Burnout, especially Takedown mode?

There isn't one. Go play Burnout.

>Make a game about crashing into and taking down cars

>Feature real world cars

>Can't have them crushed into a cube because the manufacturers wouldn't like that

EA could have saved money and made the game more fun if they used a bunch of similar but not-real cars. Oh wait Burnout was exactly that.

Like racing games with softbody physics? BeamNG might be your best bet.

What about nuMost Wanted?

FUCKING NORMIES won't buy racing games if they can't use expensive real life cars they'll never own to fulfill their fantasies of being rich and successful.

The first game was based on Konami's Thrill Drive.
