    Everything about Dominator's gameplay just feels right. The welcome return of burnouts has infused an even greater sense of recklessness to a game that certainly wasn't lacking it to begin with.
  2. Worth Playing

    One of the best racing games currently available on the PSP.

    The racing is just as adrenaline pumping as it's ever been, and possibly even more so than what we saw in Burnout Revenge as you need to be afraid of traffic once again. However, the lack of standard features and modes like Crash are a rather big disappointment.
  4. G4 TV

    Though Burnout fans might be disappointed to learn there's no substantial revision to the play mechanics, Dominator's fast-paced events and score-based challenges are a perfect fit for a handheld system, making it one of the best looking, best playing racing titles on PSP.
  5. 1UP

    It doesn't pack quite the "wow" factor that we saw in Legends, but it's still a more-than-competent racer, and one that's a remarkable demonstration of the PSP's capabilities.
  6. Pocket Gamer UK
    70
    Technically brilliant and often thrilling, but also considerably lighter than its predecessor and unable to provide the same long-term appeal.
  7. Hardcore Gamer
    45
    It doesn't matter how good the rest of a game is, though, if the controls betray you just when you need them most. [May 2007, p.55]

    Near perfect conversion of the PS2 classic which is perfectly suited to handheld gaming. Fast, furious, and above all fun.

    In my opinion Dominator is way better than Legends. Especially because it is not as annoying and boring as Legends. In legends there is 3 lapsIn my opinion Dominator is way better than Legends. Especially because it is not as annoying and boring as Legends. In legends there is 3 laps per race which is just terrible minding the lenght of track. In this game it is 2 which is pleasureable.… Expand

    The burnout games have gone downhill since the best ever burnout game, Burnout 3, I think that they should give up now.
