    Compared to other PSP racers on the market it blows them away. Fast, Fusious and loads of fun. Alpine is clearly the best track ever created.

    Certainly one of the best out there right now. If you dont like the idea of super-fast racing with classic tracks and cars from ALL burnout games and crazy crashes that the burnout series is famous for,,,then dont get this game. Otherwise youll love it. If youve never played a burnout game before, this is definatly the best place to start.

    Burnout Legends was impossible to put down, the game got a little harder as you progressed, but still not impossible which avoided frustration, which was good. Perfect Game for the PSP. I beat it too fast.

    Burnout Legends doesn't have choppy framerates. Notice the previous three 'reviews' all say "choppy" - it's the same guy. I've found one glitch where the game hanged, that was it. Otherwise, it's smooth and wildly active gameplay all the way - every bit as addicting and satisfying as Burnout on my XBOX. Low resolution? Try playing split screen 2 player on a Burnout Legends doesn't have choppy framerates. Notice the previous three 'reviews' all say "choppy" - it's the same guy.

    This is about the best PSP gmae ever! Every PSP owner must get this! It is so much fun I can't stop smiling while playing it. There should be more tracks but it is still a smashing good time and the graphics are awesome (especially when you crash).

    Matthew J. obviously hasn't played the game. Burnout Legends is an excellent port to the PSP, and arguably the best racer out for the PSP... and that says a lot if you consider Wipeout Pure. It combines the best elements of the first 3 burnouts into a sort of Greatest Hits collection, and the perfect pocket racer to carry around and challenge your friends. A must buy for and PSP owner!

    I think Burnout Legends is the best game for PSP. What kind of person would disagree. It has everything that a racing game should have. It's got the music, insane crashes, fast speeds, and really nice graphics for the PSP. I really have fun playing it and I also look foword to geting GTA Liberty City Stories.

    Magically tranformes Burnout 3 into a handheld game. Certainly the best racing game on the PSP, some might say Legends is the best Burnout ever - its essentially an updated and fleshed out version of Burnout 3 with extra courses, modes and cars. Perfection.

    Beautiful graphics, heartaching speeds and a robust physics engine, yes, all of the good of Burn Out finally packed in one on-the-go game. Combined with the replayability and excellent playtime (over 15 hours if you want to finish everything) this game is for keeps!

    Best racing game with MotorStorm in PSP. The crash mode is fantastic. You never get bored with this mode. Race mode is very good too but crash mode is better for sure.

    Pretty much Burnout 3 on the PSP. That being said, its one of the best racing games for the system. Amazing graphics, fun gameplay and cool tracks and cars . The difficulty is well balanced. The game is challenging without getting in your way too much. The game holds up. Its still a lot of fun after all these years. Highly recommended.

    Excellent game. Excellently adapted to a handheld. Only negative, it can get dull after a while, but this is to be expected with most playstation games. Nintendo have always made timeless more addictive games, but sadly never too many of them. Highly recommend this game, even if you're not a big racing fan.

    I don't get some of these reviews. One reviewer said it looks better on a big TV... Well DUH!! For a protable racing game this one is rock solid. The load times are less than 10 seconds 90% of the time and the races rarely slow down. Turn off the music and it never slows down. Crash mode is extremely addictive and the race variety is also well honed. Yes this is a port of the first 3 I don't get some of these reviews. One reviewer said it looks better on a big TV...

But why exactly is that a bad thing? 99% of the titles on any new system, especially a portable system are going to be ports of console versions. Get over it. If you like Burnout games and want them on the road, then this title is it. If you've never played a Burnout title and want a solid game with good variety besides just racing from point A to B, go get this title.… Expand

    This has to be the best racing game yet for the PSP. It has the same great gameplay as the console.

    Simply makes fantastic use of the PSP technology, providing a profoundly impressive audiovisual experience and fast, frantic racing, both of which easily rank with the best the platform has to offer.

    Burnout Legends is certainly the best racing game on PSP, and let's face it, it's up against plenty of competition. Its structure is perfect for a handheld experience, as none of the challenges it presents last more than a few minutes.

    While first-time Burnout gamers who are torn between picking up Burnout Legends for the PSP or Burnout Revenge for either Xbox or PS2 may want to go with the latter, Burnout Legends is the perfect remedy for those who want to do a little burning while on the road.
