Burnout Legends (PSP)

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 ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

...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 ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

...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 ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

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 ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

...feeling you get from playing Burnout Legends. Possibly the fastest, most frantic racing game known to man has finally made it on to Sony's sleek handheld, and boy does it make an impact. The best bits from all 3 previous console games have been crammed into a neat little UMD disc and then polished with a big cloth until they shine. Playing Burnout Legends is an experience second to none on the PSP, you won't find a game that sucks you in quite as ...
...Pursuit games are included from Burnout 2 which resemble the classic Chase HQ. If you're not familiar with this, it involves you in a police car chasing down the bad guys and ramming them until they stop. So, are there any negative points? Well, the difficulty can get your teeth grating on some courses, while on others you can just sail through to the finish. This doesn't really impact on the game as a whole though. Pricewise, retail this game ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

I doubt it. Burnout is still alive and kicking in the PSP. Despite the slightly altered controls, the spirit is still as strong as ever. With multiple car types and multuple race types, you have so much choice it is hard to be bored. From a standard coupe to a world class racer, the variety of vehicle is excellent, with varying speeds and handling, not to mention the fantastic colour schemes, all of which are changeable at the touch of a button ...
...lines and curves, not a box to be seen, showing the awesome powers of the artists. The car controls are very responsive, and easy to pick up. I borrowed a copy from a friend, and had it down pat within 30 seconds. I had so much fun I knew I had to have it. Not all the cars are available on any one game, either. You have to trade, or go head to head to complete your collection, making the multiplayer more than just an add-on. The tracks, as well, ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

...came out after enjoying the burnout series on the ps2. The best way to describe Burnout Legends is Burnout 3 on the PSP. There is no storyline in Legends just race or crash your way through a number of levels and unlock new cars. There are a number of game modes available; race, revenge, pursuit and eliminator. It's nothing new or innovative but it suits the pick up and play aspects of the PSP very well. Graphics wise the game is top notch; the ...
...analogue stick for gameplay as this helps greatly with staying in a straight line + allows for very quick reflex movements to avoid oncoming traffic. The only real downside I could find with this game was that due to the small PSP screen + the speed of the game it can be extremely tricky to navigate around some courses but I suppose this keeps you on your toes! Been out for a few months now but still the best driving game available in my opinion. ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

...the psp, a game like burnout needs to be played on a big tv, not a small screen in your pocket. the game isnt what i expected, its to difficult to control, with the ps2 version you feel like your actually in control of the game, with this, i feel like the guy who fills the petrol up. there are lots of cars in the game and you have the old classics too the top of the range vehicles, and there are the different sorts of cars e.g. muscle, compact, ...
...from the tour to the crash, the levels dont like any different to the previous levels, but then again on the psp, its completly different, the levels just seem way to big. the music is still good in this, the inde and rock genres still stay the same, i was disapointed that with the memory stick in the psp you cant upload your own music, which xbox is able to do. i bought the game 3 weeks ago, ive played it 10 times if that , im torn whether to ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

...now its on the psp! Burnout legends has no failures in following the ps2 versions of the previous burnouts and isnt just a portable version, but a whole new Burnout game in its own right. There is the classic road rage, Crash and pursuit modes as well as the normal races and the incredibly long world tour event all included on this version. This game is so addictive and will keep you playing untill the psp runs out of battery power. There are also ...
...you can either do wireless multiplayer with a friend who also has the game, or use game share if they havent! Because of the fact that this Burnout is portable, this is definately the best burnout yet! Again though i wish psp games would allow us to use custom soundtracks! ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

Burnout was one of the first games to be released on the psp and it was most certainly the best, but bow there are other games out. It is still, most probably the best racing game out now. The crashes are awsome, the races are very fast so you need to be able to keep up and the overall graphics are great. This game is aimed at the younger generation or those adults who enjoy thrills. Once you start playing you go into a crazy mood where you just ...
...music on the game usually goes well but it depends what mood you are in. Sometimes in the game the screen will freeze or go black but this is quite rare. So overalll it is a great game and i would recomend it to anybody who enjoys racing games or who just wants a really fun game. ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

Burnout legends is great, with good graphics and easy to use. The game has many points of goodness like components such the parts of the game like players, and the skills that you can get. Races are quite hard to complete but most are reasonably easy. The graphics are very good with a good scenery in the surroundings with the track. The cars look great, and the damage is good in looks. The opponents are good and look great, however it is sometimes ...

Review of Burnout Legends (PSP)

Racing in Burnout is a high-speed, crash-filled affair. Your main controls are gas, brake, and boost. Boost is integral to your racing, as the opponent-racer artificial intelligence keeps it tight pretty much at all times. You earn boost by basically driving like a maniac, steering into oncoming traffic, nearly missing random cars, and, of course, knocking your opponents around like you own the place, ultimately hoping to take them out entirely. ...
...well in Legends. Any Burnout fan is likely to already be quite familiar with the crash mode, and he or she will be intimately familiar with pretty much all the other modes, too. Apart from normal races, you'll also engage in: road rage races, where the whole point is to gain as many takedowns of opponents as possible in a set amount of time; burning laps, which are just basic time-trial races; faceoffs, in which you go against a single opponent to ...
