 "Burnout on DS has problems, but it's still fun" | 2008-05-09 |

Taking in the Burnout series up to the point of Legends on the DS, Legends seems like a major letdown. However, the DS just isn't made for the graphics and gameplay complexities of the Burnout series. So lower your expectations, accept Burnout Legends for what it is, and you might find it somewhat enjoyable.
The good of the game lies in the inclusion of a good amount of tracks. For the most part, the tracks are fun and detailed. The cars are varied. A lot of people have griped about the car selection, but for the most part, I can see how the handling is varied and enjoy unlocking the different cars. While the control of cars is varied, the look of the cars leaves a bit to be desired.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of bad in this game. The two things that scream at you are what happens when things move too fast and aftertouch takedowns. Because of the graphic complexities, when things move fast on this game, the graphics look so choppy that you can't tell what's ahead of you. Furthermore, the way things like winnebegos magically appear in front of you is more than a little disheartening. As for the aftertouch takedowns, what more can be said. Whether you can perform it or not seems more like a game of chance than skill. It works nothing like it's supposed to. It seems like a glitch. The more you play Burnout on the DS, you start to spot a lot of these little glitches.
But in all the problems, it's still fun. You have to lower your expectations and imagine a dumbed down version of Burnout. It's not near as fun as the PS2 and Xbox incarnation, but for a little portable car crashing without the luxury of the "same" game on the PSP, this is OK, but don't pay too much for it. |

| I have played this game on the game cube and it was lots of fun. When I bought my DS-lite system this was the first game I bought. After playing it a couple of times, I realized that it was a strain for my eyes because the DS-lite screen is so small. The game is very good but not on small screen. |

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! |

| On the consoles, EA's Burnout series has always been some of the most fun you'll ever get out of a racing game. Even on the PSP, Burnout Legends is superb, but this is the DS after all, and when it comes to technical aspects, Burnout Legends just isn't meant for Nintendo's dual screened system. The first thing you'll notice is the cars are incredibly blocky looking, and the tracks are poorly designed as well. Sharp turns and curves come out of nowhere, and even if you hit the tiniest snag, you crash. Performing takedowns, especially aftertouches, is harder than it's supposed to be, and the cars control all so sluggishly. The game's soundtrack has been replaced by a generic sounding score, which is to be expected considering this is a DS game, but the score is annoying to boot. There are times however while playing that the gameplay does pick up in spots, which makes Burnout Legends at least somewhat playable. As an average, generic racer, Burnout Legends isn't terrible, but to say that it is undeserving of the Burnout label is saying it lightly. It may be worth a look for DS racing fans who have worn out Mario Kart, but for Burnout fans, don't expect anything like the series has previously offered. |

first off happyness is evreywere is my quote. please dont steal it because it is fun to use sarcastically but i did not use it up there ^. burnout is happyness because of its.... BURNOUT!!!!!. ok i'll start off with some coffe (slurps coffe) EW THIS STUFF IS BAD (gets some hot chocolate ) YUM!!1> ok burnout has unique gameplay that cant be missed. its so awsome to experience. if u are driving real fast (250 kmh should do it for ya) u'll want to be super carefull of not slamming into a another car. its fast action racing through streets so you might want to take some advil b4 driving at300 kmh. the sence of speed is a little... off, but works with the game ok. the camera is a little funny because opponents in single player are turning or somthing and they look like they just go left or right, there is no car going sideways turning. it looks like there sliding side to side.... wierd but llookkksss funny. also cars crash unrealitically, but looks so awsome. game is glichy to so just bear with it. it is easy enof for bigginers (i know my spelling sucks) but can provide HARD challenges for the ppl who have rented burnout 3 over 50 times (Oops my mom's credit card bill is...... *reads bill* MY GOD 800 DOLLORS!!!!!)
graphically it rocks. the only things that could have been better are phisics 9i cant spell it) textures, and collision detection. otherwise you'll sit there like, WOW!!! Multiplayer is... bad. dont play it dont try it (exept crash mode wid a friend) ok here is my finall score GAMEPLAY 110/100 single player rocks while multiplayer is... bad but o well GRAPHICS 90/100 could have been better but only in some departments SOUND 105/100 nice music and good sound effects FINAL VERDICT 105/100 |
