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

| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| let me start out by saying this: Burnout Legends for the DS is fun. Not the same kind of fun you get from the console versions, but a different kind. This game's fun factor comes from blistering speeds, tearing your enemies to shreads and the sometimes awesome, sometimes funny (because of the bad physics engine) crashes. Seriously, the physics in this game are completely screwed up. You will get into some extremely bizarre crashes, some that really make you scratch your head. If you can learn to ignore the freakish crashes (an easy task for me) you will find a genuinely fun game. Here's the breakdown: Graphics: 8/10- The cars all look pretty nice, as do the environments. There is some occasional pop-up, but it's nothing that really effects the gameplay. Sound: 7/10- This game play generic rock during most of the races, but it's not totally unenjoyable. The crashes and stuff like that sound pretty good. Control: 6/10- Control is where this game really falters. For the most part, you can get used to the controls. Many of the cars place a bigger emphasis on drifting, sort of like the Ridge Racer series. This might be hard to get used to at first, but it works out all right in the end. Some cars, however, just don't seem to work right. They can be much too hard to turn accurately. It's nothing that would ruin the game, as you can just choose a different car, but it would be nice if all of the vehicles available had good control. Entertainment: 8/10- Control and physics problems or not, this is one enjoyable game. The intense speed, hair raising turns and bone-crunching crashes will leave your heart pumping after each playthrough, and in the end, isn't that what the Burnout series is all about? Overall, Burnout Legends for Nintendo DS gets a 7.25/10. | |

| I am a Burnout fan sice the 2nd game & have 39 DS games. Out of all the games I have ever played, this is the ONLY ONE so awful, that I brought it back to the store demanding a refund. There is absolutely NO AI!!! This means, instead of the rough & tumble action of fighting cars, they just race around the track in a line on a preset path. Its not fun. The crash mode is even worse, where there is only one or two cars to be seen, with crashes only reaching as high as 60,000 in damage. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME FOR YOURSELF OR AS A GIFT! | |
