    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.

    It’s not often I can wholeheartedly recommend a game for mandatory purchase, especially at full price, but Burnout Legends is one of those games that is just so much fun that you won’t be able to resist.

    The speed at which everything shifts and the level of detail is absolutely stunning. It could easily stand alongside its PS2 and Xbox counterparts without looking like the cut-down ‘diet’ version you might expect for a handheld and full credit to Criterion for pulling it off without making sacrifices in gameplay or longevity.

    What's amazing is that Criterion was able to create such a tight control scheme, when other PSP racing games have felt floaty and flaky. By any standard, Burnout's control is rock solid. It's possible to dodge right though the same small spaces that entice players on the console game.

    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+."

    It’s already been established that Legends is a ‘Best of’ rather than a fully-fledged sequel. Therein lies its greatest failing – in fundamental terms it offers nothing more than ‘Burnout on the go’.

    I think Burnout Legends is the best game for PSP. What kind of person would disagree. It has everything that a racing game should have. I think Burnout Legends is the best game for PSP. What kind of person would disagree. It has everything that a racing game should have. It's got the music, insane crashes, fast speeds, and really nice graphics for the PSP. I really have fun playing it and I also look foword to geting GTA Liberty City Stories.… Expand

    Beautiful graphics, heartaching speeds and a robust physics engine, yes, all of the good of Burn Out finally packed in one on-the-go game.
