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.
i finished this game so many times i dont remember, good gamepley and graphics for the psp, one of the best car games for the psp. perfect burnout for the psp.
The interesting bit is that it builds on such a well-designed franchise tweaked to near-perfection that its rehash status matters very little. New or not, this is the best that racing experience that the PSP currently has to offer.
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.
With 175 events (100 crash, 75 race), there's enough here to entertain for weeks. Part of the problem, though, is that most will have burned out (hurr, punny) on the experience before the game's through. It's a fine racer, just not quite classic Burnout.
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.
Pretty much Burnout 3 on the PSP. That being said, its one of the best racing games for the system. Amazing graphics, fun gameplay and cool tracks and cars . The difficulty is well balanced. The game is challenging without getting in your way too much. The game holds up. Its still a lot of fun after all these years. Highly recommended.
For its time it was a decent Burnout Greatest Hits package. But today, with Burnout Revenge and Burnout Dominator existing it feels dated.
Since we got a remaster for Burnout Paradise, heres hoping the rest of the Burnout franchise gets remastered and we get a remake of this great game in a true complete trilogy form.
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.
Burnout Legends is my first Burnout game i played, and contrary to games like Ratchet And Clank and Jak And Daxter on the PSP that, while they may be inferior to the PS2 trilogy at the end of the day, when I played them for the first time I really wanted to know what the originals were like. Unfortunately with Burnout Legends this is not the case. It reminds me of a recent game that becomes one of my most dissapointed games: NFS MW 2012, although not as bad thankfully.
For starting this is a racing game with crashing physics, but i would tell you even the Java Asphalt games had much better physics and handling than this: The controls are clunky, the drifting is all over the place, the crash cam is annoying and due to the pixelation is hard to see traffic cars at the distance, the hit detection to count a hit as a takedown is inconsistent and the game ends up being repetitive. Did i also mention terrible rubberbanding? Ugh.... This proves how EA doesnt know how to make racing games on portable hardware (maybe except Carbon Own The City). I also dont like it how the collectors cars arent all unlockable by normal means and that some special takedowns are pretty obscure or hard to do, making 100% completion a bit of a mess.
At least the graphics are impressive for the PSP and the sense of speed is incredible. I also like the zoom type of effect when doing takedowns and i have to admit, the game is a bit addicting and the amount of cars and tracks is pretty respectable so is a decent game to kill some time but nothing more.
SummaryBurnout Legends sets the bar for on-the-go automotive anarchy, combining the series’ trademark speed, destruction and depth with new PSP-only features, gameplay refinements and connectivity. Gamers can look forward to eight gameplay modes, including crash, road rage and pursuit, with white-knuckle multiplayer via WiFi, and a GameShare o...
