The courses are as crisp as ever, while the bone-shattering mayhem on the roads looks and sounds just as convincing.

Fans of the Burnout series will be hard pressed not to be impressed by what was crammed into such a small disc.

Criterion pumps max performance out of the PSP and succeeds in delivering every last ounce of console chaos from the Burnout series in a handheld package.

Not only does it look amazing but it plays just as fluidly and as gorgeously as the big boys do so do yourself a favor and pick this one up right away.

The lack of Infrastructure mode was a bummer, but the great single-player mode more than made up for the lackings.

An ‘original’ title based on previous games. Think of it as "Burnout 3+."

In the end, Crash Mode really saves the game. The problems with translating the fast nature of racing to a small screen are nullified by the high fun factor involved with Crash Mode.

Great game. Best of the game: Two modes of play: Races and Crash competition, Progress Rewarding with objectives and accomplished task, Good: Great game. Best of the game: Two modes of play: Races and Crash competition, Progress Rewarding with objectives and accomplished task, Good: Have Game Sharing (but some simplified), graphics are good (not superb). Arcade control well suited for PSP controls. Entertaining, but replay value is not the best of the game. Expand
