    I only played them at friends. Was the races started from a menu instead of driving around in the city to find races? Or was it the car feeling and handling that was different?

      Mostly the former. You got a better variety of courses rather than Paradise reusing a lot of the same pieces of something that distinctly looked like only one city, and a menu was just a quicker way to get in and out of the part of the game you wanted to play.

        Ok, personally I liked going around in the city but I understand why you didn’t enjoy Paradise as much as Takedown and Revenge. Too bad that they changed the concept of the series. Didn’t EA change Need for speed to open-world some years earlier with Underground 2? They could have kept one of the series as races started from a menu.
