    It's an average game. It's essentially what you would expect when you read the phrase "Burnout for DS". Personally, I had a good experience, but it is definitely understandable if you don't like it. It is also very easy for a Burnout game. I got the 100% in 5:30 hours.

    Burnout Legends for the Nintendo DS could've been way better, maybe even almost on par with the PSP version if more effort was put into it. Overall, this is not a great port, but it is still pretty fun and a guilty pleasure of mine.

    As a fan of the Burnout series, i am a bit upset about the DS release of Burnout Legends. After some entertaining races, I realized how mediocre this game is. Graphics, controls, sound and gameplay, nothing special here. Could have been great...

    The only positive that can be said about this game: at least it runs at 60 frames per second. We’ve played some bad racing games, but Burnout Legends takes the cake. Really.

    Then we come to the control, which is also shot up quite horrendously. The vehicular turning is pretty lofty at best, where you have to maintain an incredible sense of steering. This, combined with the so-called tactics for scoring takedowns on opponent vehicles, just leads to remarkably bad frustration.
  3. The racing is pathetically underwhelming, the crashes are so painfully halfhearted that they might as well not even exist, and a wide variety of graphical glitches and collision problems turn the whole thing into a serious mess.
