4.0 out of 5 stars Burnout Legends......, January 11, 2006

This review is from: Burnout Legends (Video Game)

As much as I play racing games, I'd never heard of Burnout til last year when a friend gave me all his PS2 games because he was selling his system. For a first generation PS2 racing game, Burnout was actually pretty awesome. So, when I heard they were coming out with a Nintendo DS version of Burnout; entitled Burnout Legends, I decided to get it for my Nintendo DS. For the most part, they made the game in the classic Burnout mold. I found it to be a very entertaining racer myself despite what reviewers on certain online gaming sites have to say about it. I agree with another reviewer here that most of them compared the game to the PSP version(which is clearly a stronger piece of hardware than the Nintendo DS, graphically & otherwise). For the Nintendo DS' strengths and capablities, I think the developers did a fine job with the game.

The only glaring flaw that I seen with the game was the collision detection. Course, every game I've ever played has some type of collision detection problems. So, to me, that flaw can be overlooked.

It has every racing mode included in the PSP version(as I own that one as well and know) as well as a multitude of tracks to race on & the crash mode is a hoot, love playing that one. The graphics and control are pretty decent and it has a good sense of speed when compared to other racing games for my DS.

Burnout Legends is everything you'd expect it to be on the DS and is one racing game that should be in every racing fan's DS collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars The ways that this game is good and bad:, September 8, 2006

This review is from: Burnout Legends (Video Game)

I don't own a PS2 or Xbox, only a GameCube [and a DS]. When EA took over the series after Acclaim went bankrupt, they were stopped being made on the GameCube. I was very dissapointed. But when I saw this, it was a great sight. I could get a modern Burnout game!

THE GOODS
All of the race modes I wanted... I LOVE ROAD RAGE ^_^.
THE BADS
Lacks in graphics and CPU AI a tad bit.

I noticed that the reviews on Amazon say the game is REALLY good, or REALLY bad. I think some people are trying to compare it to other burnout games, or not.

COMPARED TO OTHER BURNOUT GAMES: It just doesn't stand up to Burnout 2, 3, or 4 [revenge].

JUST BY ITSELF: The second best DS racer I've played [#1 is Mario Kart DS].

WORTH IT? For 20 bucks on amazon, yes.

Thanks for reading ^_^!!!

p.s. out of all of the burnout games I've played [2, 3, revenge, and legends [ds]], burnout 3 is the best!

4.0 out of 5 stars Do Not Compare to PSP. You'll regret it., January 2, 2006

This review is from: Burnout Legends (Video Game)

Personally, I thought that Burnout Legends for the Nintendo DS is great. However, many famous review websites (i.e. ign.com and gamespot.com) have thought differently. Why? They compare it to the Burnout Legends that is on Sony's prized PSP. Now, if you are like me, you don't have the money to get one of these suckers, so you're stuck with a DS that you got last Christmas. Well, for those unfortunate few, this game is a must-have. At a constant 60 FPS (frames per second) it runs very smoothly. The collisions are very realistic, and the fact that you can take down an opponent during a race is a definate plus. However, the collision detection is a bit off, meaning that you can be one centimeter away from crashing into the median, and crash into it anyway. But that is a very minor detail that gets overrun by the superior gameplay. The Crash Mode was another letdown, however. There isn't enough traffic to crash into, and you tend to magically stop traffic whenever you get a crashbreaker. The graphics aren't too well either, but it's not the graphics that make up the game, it's the gameplay. I love it, and I hope all you DS owners will too.
