Burnout Legends (PSP)

Advantages: Where else are you allowed to drive like a nutter and not get arrested?
Disadvantages: Erm... none spring to mind. Yep, that good.

BURNOUT LEGENDS (PSP) I'm not usually one for games featuring cars. For some unaccountable reason the mainstay of racing games make me want to gouge out my eyeballs with a spoon. That's how much joy and enthusiasm the next generation racers dictate in my fragile little mind due to their utterly soulless, bland and uninspired sameness. With assurances of unbelievable amounts of realism and control, it's not until you realise your PS2/X-Box controller ...
...an exception to the rule. Burnout 2 on the PS2 was a massive thrill-ride, mostly for its inspired unrealistic nature. Given licence to drive stupidly fast whilst crashing your way through oncoming traffic and ploughing your motor into a pylon like a deranged nutter made for notoriously great fun. So it's no wonder when Burnout Legends ventured onto the PSP I went against my prior disposition on driving games, hoping that the fun and frantic nature ... Read review

Advantages: Great portable Burnout racing with fun muliplayer, visuals are well done, decent soundtrack
Disadvantages: No online multiplayer, slightly strainy visuals, crashes don't look that spectacular

...I mean who wouldn't want Burnout on the go? Instead of just being a direct port of the recent Burnout games Criterion decides to make this more interesting by remixing both tracks and cars from Burnout 1, 2 and even 3 to make an entirely new game for the PSP. The end result in itself is an incredibly fun racing game that does a good job of bringing Burnout to a portable console and at the same doesn't take away any of the series' trademark gameplay. ...
...if you have recently played Burnout 3 on the PS2 or Xbox then you will see how shockingly similar the game both plays and feels on a portable. As I said earlier this game remixes a lot from previous Burnout installments such as having the boost bar (introduced in Burnout 2) and the segment boost bar system (introduced in Burnout 3). In turn these features that have been bought back and put together again really does give the game a fresh feeling ... Read review

Advantages: Fast and furious racing, multiplayer options, good stress relief :-)
Disadvantages: No new courses, long loading times

...PS2 I have loved the burnout series of racing games for thier Hi octane speed levels and manic arcade crashes. In many respects BURNOUT hould be considered a the perfect yang to the the yin of GRAN TURISIMO titles. On GT you can spend hours carefully driving realistic super cars, with perfect handling, aiming for that one perfect lap that alsonso or schumaker would be proud of. SO there is nothing more satisfying than moving staight to burnout, perform ...
...consider myself somewhat of a burnout conaseur (or geek if we are being a little more honest). As you may well imaginethen I made sure this was purchased on the day of realease, just a few weeks after I had got my hands on my shinny new PSP. This portable version offers up all the thrills and spills its pervious big brother had. Most importantly the speed is still there, with a frame rate, so you stil get that rush of adrenalin and sudden impact ... Read review

I love burnout on the ps2 so thought as my first review would review it as I recently had the chance to rent this game and playes it extensivley. Like in all other burnouts there is the career option however the multiplayer is limited really. however it still has all the characteristics of the playstation2 game The graphics are just as good and the takedowns are excellent. For those of you who do not what burnout is this is aracing style game that ...
...gain boost you have to have near misses with cars, drive in the wrong lane. slam your opponents into walls nudge and bump your opponents aviod crashes, and take your opponents out by doing different types of takedowns. Now the speed is quite fast and can be insane in later races. AS you go through the career new races open and new cars are allocated only for gold medal wins. It is important to make sure you get all golds as you cannot complete ... Read review
