This was around the so-called dead period, so it was a bit shocking when I heard about it, as I'm sure it was too you guys.

...And any chance he could've got involved with the delayed GTA 4...?

Paradise City has 'Paradise City.'In a case of getting things just right, EA announced this morning to MTV Multiplayer and GameTrailers that the soundtrack for next month's 'Burnout Paradise' will feature Guns N Roses'˜ 1987 'grass is green' and 'girls are pretty' anthem 'Paradise City.'

Players will hear it when they boot up the game on a PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. They'll hear it during the open-world racing game's lone initial loading screen. PS3 owners will also hear a looped instrumental version before they even boot up the game, just by highlighting an icon for the game on their system menu.

Slash and Axl aren't alone, of course. EA provided Multiplayer a first look at the games' 40-song rock-heavy play-list, which includes Alice in Chains, Twisted Sister and more. The tracks are listed after the jump and will play as gamers race through Paradise City. (Players not into whatever track they hear will be able to press the right bumper or the R1 button to cycle through to the next one).

But there are actually more than 40 songs, and more than just rockers on the roster. The game includes music from Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Boccherini and other classical composers. Has the crash-crazy 'Burnout' series gone soft? The classical music tracks start playing when the player lets their 'Burnout' car idle for several seconds. The game switches to a screensaver mode. The game's rich color palette dampens to black and white, the camera starts moving on its own, away from the player's idling car. And the classics play. 'Burnout' has never been quite so civilized.

How's this for a line-up?

Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Dance From the 'Nutcracker Suite'
Luigi Rodolfo Boccherini, Minuet
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik'
Camille Saint-Saens, 'Carnival of the Animals'

The rest of the 'Burnout Paradise' soundtrack is after the jump. The game will be available on January 22.

I don't really think anyone knows how he got involved, which is why it was such a big shock when it was announced. 

I thought it was really cool though.  He's pretty funny, and he even makes fun of the station that plays "Welcome To The Jungle" in the game.

I don't know but I can probably find out smile The creator of Grand theft auto was a student at Dundee University years ago and now gives lectures every few months about the gaming industry, and is always open for questions at the end of each lecture.

Whilst I'm no longer at the Uni a few of my mates are, they can let me know when a lecture is forthcoming. I've attended one of his lectures before and it was pretty interesting. I was stoned at the time and thought the guy was a legend. Not only did he invent GTA but also "Lemmings" 16

Anyway, when I hear of an upcoming lecture I'll be sure to interrogate him for more information smile

I love the GTA games. Perfection. They come up with amazing soundtracks that really set the tone for the game. Vice City is my favorite. No game will ever come close to the 80's vibe that had.

Andreas was good, but its the only GTA game I didn't beat. I rented it, and I was really far into the game, but one of my cousins fucked up my game and a bunch of gangs had taken over my territories and other shit. It wasn't worth the effort to bother fixing everything, so I quit.

i got 99% on GTA3

84% on vice city and something like 73 on san adreas...it was jsut too long for me, took me 14 months to finally end it 17

i'm in the middle of liberty city stories now then i have to tackle vice city stories

my fav though was vice city, in all aspects, specially the radio stations they had a real radio feel to them. the san andreas radio stations felt too peice meal, like a bunch of snippets pushed in between songs, vice city though fellt like a constant stream of radio

thats why I always listened to my own music while playing SA

I haven't played GTA in awhile, I think I got the 2 city story games but never played them...I might have to find them and get back into the games before GTA IV comes out smile
also, since we are on the topic anyway, has anyone went back and played the first GTA again recently? that game still kicks so much ass 9
