Criterion reveals Surf Island as premium Burnout content

Criterion's shown off Big Surf Island, a large piece of premium DLC for Burnout Paradise, saying the "location is all about massive jumps". Amen to that.

The company reasoned why it expects you to pay for the download.

"We never expected to create anything this ambitious for the island, but as it progressed we got more and more excited about what it could become. (In fact, that’s the story of all our Downloadable Content)," it said on its site.

"Big Surf is the culmination of everything we learned creating Paradise City, and we want it to bring you a truly spectacular new experience – the highlight of a year of incredible premium content. Burnout already delivers incredible value for money – literally hundreds of hours of gameplay with your original disk or PSN purchase, plus more with the free Cagney Pack and free Burnout Paradise Bikes."

Lots through there, including shots.
