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

    Great for a quick game on the bus, perfect for those extended sessions on the train, Burnout Legends is right up there with Lumines and Virtua Tennis on our PSP must-have list. Truly brilliant.

    While first-time Burnout gamers who are torn between picking up Burnout Legends for the PSP or Burnout Revenge for either Xbox or PS2 may want to go with the latter, Burnout Legends is the perfect remedy for those who want to do a little burning while on the road.

    There’s nothing here to keep you away from the bigger brother versions, unless you’re always playing away from home. In such environments, however, it’s a solid tribute to a storming series. [Nov 2005, p.111]

    Magically tranformes Burnout 3 into a handheld game. Certainly the best racing game on the PSP, some might say Legends is the best Burnout ever - its essentially an updated and fleshed out version of Burnout 3 with extra courses, modes and cars. Perfection.… Expand

    Great visceral racer, almost as good as the best Burnouts on home consoles. Sweet graphics, proper soundtrack and sounds, very good production values. Might be a little short (5-7 hours to beat all World Tour levels), and I found the Crash mode to be a little lacking (long loading times, somewhat lacking in physics and graphical details compared to 'big' Burnouts), though you can easily spend some more time getting all gold in World Tour. Highly recommended!… Expand

    Overal the game is good and interesting. But number of laps per race is always 3 which is a bit too long, since the lenght of a track is pretty decent.… Expand

    The games racing was ok....it felt choppy at times and the "RC Pro AM" compensation to the AI can become very aggressive to the point that the player will almost want to scream "HAXORZ!" The crash mode offers nothing new, except a dumbed down look at the same thing Bunrout 1-3 players felt. The absolute worst moment is playing crash mode only to see a speeding taxi smack into the rear of a bus and watching the bus go airborne. The crash mode looks so dumbed down it would feel alot like most PS1 racers in quality. The PSP is supposed to be a better portable than this. As a fan of Burnout since the days of Acclaim, I am sorely disappointed in the poor porting skill of Criterion. This is just another boring port and I moreso recommend Revenge if you need a Burnout fix.… Expand
