this is one of the funnest games on psp if not the funnest. It also has the best visuals ever seen on a handheld. If youve ever played burnout 3: takedown you know what to expect. Groundbreaking visuals, great soundtrack, really really fun. It even has a gamesharing feature where you can play multiplayer with only one disc. If you have a psp GET THIS GAME

The best Psp racer thus far

This is truly a fun game... especially if you like to run into other cars and make them crash and burn. For Burnout 3 fans, this game will not disappoint you. It has the best features from the other previous burnout games... like pursuit mode where you get to be a cop car and run down other cars. I also own wipeout, and ridge racer and I have to say that this game is a step up from those games in terms of fun gameplay.

Tips: The game will ask you to upgrade your firmware to version 1.52 before you can play it, this was a big turn off for me. If you don't want to upgrade, there ARE alternatives available on the web that allow you to play this game without upgrading firmware, so don't worry. Search the psp websites out there before you upgrade.

Good PSP Racer

This game has great action and car damage. There are lots of different sub-games, all of which are fun. Ridge Racer has a more realistic racing feel to it, but this is more fun with the explosions and car damage. This is a keeper.

My only complaint would be the load times in between such short games. I feel like I spend half my time waiting for the next game to start.

YET another great psp racer! even better with a PSP for 12$!!! Brand new to!!

I bought this game out of a knee-jerk reaction-I thought that Burnout 3 was the best in the series and the new one due to come out looks even better. Legends is basically a port of Burnout 3 but with new games modes (I think it also has new cars). Still, the game plays great and was translated over to the PSP flawlessly. All the modes you know and love are there, plus a new one, pursuit, which reminded me of the relic NFS mode where you're the cop chasing the criminal.

The graphics are awesome and are some of the best I've seen so far, being so early in the lifespan of the PSP. The controls are easy to use, with the D-Pad and analog stick being both available to use.d Braking and accelerating are not too wild, which I thought were in NFS Underground Rivals. The cars drive just like NFSU Rivals, so if you have played NFS, you will have no proplem adjusting to the game.

Overall it is fun and will bring you fun in the middle of rush hour traffic that "drives" my parents crazy. For a port, this game does not really seem like one, just a brand new game itself.

Best Racing Game Ever

Burnout continues the series on PSP with what is so far the best PSP racer game out yet. In my opinion the Takeouts are the best part of the game, you can make other racers crash and it goes in to slow motion for the crash. The racing is also excelent, if you want a racing game, get this one.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner...

Burnout Legends for the PSP is by far the best racer released for this brand new system! It is hands down, the best portable racing game I have ever played. Okay, so I haven't played a lot of portable racers, but I'll even go so far to say it is in the top five racers I've played on all systems, portable and console! It's that good!

I own Burnout 2 and 3, both on the X Box. I was instantly interested when I heard that a port of Burnout 3 was coming to the Playstation Portable. Having become a HUGE fan of the Burnout series on the X Box, I knew (well, at least hoped) that the PSP version would be even half as good as what I had become accustomed to Well, you know what? It was! Maybe even better, in its own PSP sort of way.

I was a little hesitant to get my hopes up for any kind of mode even close to the original, but EA did an excellent job of mimicking the console's positive aspects, including the spectacular crashes and sense of speed. The sense of speed is so great, that I actually have to hold the PSP close to my eyes, because I feel like I'll hit something I don't want to before I can turn. At first it seems like a negative; but after a while you get used to it. It adds to the excitement that you are so close to having a spectacularly spectacular crash, THEN BOOOOOOOM!!!! Big time crash.

Various modes, also included in the Burnout 3 version offered on X Box and Playstation 2. But, there is the Police Car Chase mode, where you get to chase down a "Gangster," I have already gotten the "Gangster car" but still working on getting the other bonus cars.

I love taking down Oil tankers in crash mode. They explode across the screen, with spectacular results! Watch the screen for clues of bonus points, and "traffic patterns" to give you information about how to make a great crash, and earn mega bucks. One thing I don't see in this game is "heartbrakers." Hitting them cut your score in half. No complaints, but I'm wondering if anyone missed them from the console version? Maybe they only exist in multi-player on the X Box?

Okay, no custom soundtracks. I think that would be a nice feature, if Sony could pull it off with Tracks saved on my memory card, for example. This was a feature that got a lot of mention, but apparently never came to fruition. Maybe next time. I don't really dig on the current mix of songs, but the game gives you the option to lower the playability, or completely turn them off, song by song. A nice feature.

My favorite game so far on the PSP.

Fun Factor: 10/10
Graphics: 9/10
Replayability: 9/10
Sound: 7/10

Fantastic!!

One of the BEST games for the PSP out there!! I'm having a blast playing this game! So many different vehicles to choose from, and a number of different play options!! I almost died laughing when I was waiting for one of my "crashes" to end, and the only motion on the screen was a tire rolling across ROFL!!!!

Buy this game NOW!!!!! You won't regret it!

wow

this is quite possibly the best video game out.... nice graphics, easy to understand, and fun. Whats not fun about crashing dozens of cars while going 180 mph!!!! its pretty sweet. The only reason i didnt give it 5 stars was because it would be better if the cars were real brands. like midnight club or something. awesome

Believe the Hype..this game rules

Awesome graphics, insane crashes, crazy speed and tons of cars and tracks to choose and win from. This game so far has surpassed my expectations even after reading all the great reviews. I really don't have any negative thing I can say about this game. I find myself laughing and having so much fun playing Burnout..and thats pretty much what its all about. Different race modes to keep things fresh and new, crashes are great and always seem to be different..not scripted. Highly detailed courses and interactive roadside objects. I can go on and on...stop reading this and just go buy the game..you won't be sorry. Definitley worth the premium price. Burnout Legends is a winner!
