Burnout Legends is a fantastic game for the racing enthusiast. Race games are are in general perfect for Sony's portable system as the control systems are simple and don't require yo to hold the psp like a spider clutching it's prey. Legends stands apart from most racers because in the myriad of events the goal isn't just to win. In fact you must smash your opponents into walls and other cars as well as drift and boosting for lengthy periods of time all in an effort to get enough points to win. There are separate event for each as well where you preform a specific task as well my favorite being the crash tour where you must cause the largest traffic file up possible. Two things that I wasn't really pleased about were the drifting and the driving physics. When considering driving physics I always compare racing games to the old PS-one classic Driver. I've never understood why all race games haven't copied Drivers style as most race game cars move like a box pivoting on a stick in the middle. Also the drifting can be quite difficult to get down and even when I mastered it I still thought it didn't come close to the ease of Ridge Racer for the PSP. The burnout series will keep you busy for hours on end and has surprisingly few problems. I highly recommend this game before you buy Burnout Dominator. Dominator is largely expanded but removes the traffic crash series.Read full review
If you ever have had the urge to drive in a race that rewards you for running your opponents off the road and otherwise causing massive destruction, Burnout is for you. If you've ever wanted that experience in the palm of your hand, then look no further, because his is the game for you. Burnout: Legends is a faithful remake of the highly successful racing franchise taken to the PSP. If you played Burnout 3: Takedown, things will look awfully familiar, as the cars and events are taken almost directly from that title. The lack of creativity brings no complaints from this reviewer however, since I've been sucked into this game since it came in the mail. I honestly think this game can appeal to anyone, even if you really don't like racing games. Burnout cashes in on that secret desire we all have to take a ton of steel and horsepower and create havoc with no repercussions. Between the events and crash mode, there's something here for everyone.Read full review
If you have a PSP and like racing games, this is a must have! Great graphics, TONs of levels of play, you'll find yourself playing this for hours without noticing how much time you've just wasted! Here's one this I like about this game; you can increase your "level" without spending 10 hours to unlock the next event or get another car (you can advance fairly quickly if you're good), while at the same time this game is still challenging. I blew though a couple of levels, while some races I still haven't masterd the way I want to. Don't think because you can advance quickly at first you'll blow though this game! The crash section.... whata way to blow off some steam! The individual events area is great way to get some laughs and have fun if you have ahalf hour to kill. After about 3.5 hours, I had only completed about 16% of the game; I'm only into racing games and I'm pretty good, yet I still feel a challenge with each level, while not feeling like I'll never progress to the end (175 levels of play can do that you know!). If you've gota PS3, GET THIS GAME! No doubt the graphics will be sharper and game play faster, but holy cow it looks gerat on the not-as-fast PSP. I figure, by the time I complete this game, I will have spent only about a few cents an hour to own and play this game. Now that's some seriously cheap fun!!Read full review
I used to own this game beforw and kicked myself in the butt for getting rid of it. Its a fun game that my kids even love!

This is my first game for the PSP and it is simply beautiful. It's the fast paced car racing and crashing that any fan of the Burnout series is looking for. It has races, takedowns, crashes, and online play. If youre a fan of the series, especially a fan of Burnout Takedown for PS2, then you'll definitely love being able to take the action with you on the road. Much of it's gameplay resembles Burnout Takedown. You may even recognize some of the same vehicles. A must have for a PSP owner and even people who have never played burnout should get quite a kick from this little monster of a game. My only complaint is the lack of online players over the internet, but I'm pretty sure you can play against others around you on hoc mode. Simply great!
