DS Burnout Legends crashes into stores

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Nov 30, 2005 10:52 am PT

Pint-sized compilation culled from first three Burnout games peels out at retail; DS owners get new outlet for road rage.

The rubber is finally hitting the road for Electronic Arts' Burnout series debut on the Nintendo DS. A sort of compilation of the first three console Burnout games, Legends takes some of the series' popular modes and shrinks them down for Nintendo's handheld.

Among the previous modes given more life on the go are Burnout 3: Takedown's crash mode, Burnout 2's pursuit mode, and the standard race, time-attack, and multiplayer modes (now with wireless connectivity). Legends features nine gameplay modes in all, along with some new tweaks designed specifically for the DS.

The game uses the DS touch screen as a way for players to put "aftertouch" on their wrecks, directing their crippled and battered vehicle into the paths of other racers. When it's not busy showing players the petty vindictiveness inherent in their souls, the touch screen displays a handy map of the current course.

Burnout Legends is rated E10+ for Everyone 10 and older, and retails for $34.99. A PSP edition is also available for $49.99.

    I've seen a couple of ingame clips, and it looks great. Nothing to worry about, same performance as the PSP version.

    Since its a port of the PSP game things could be looking really good, or really bad depending on how good a job they did on the conversion.

    I hope this is good. I mean, Burnout 3 is one of the best racing games ever. But i doubt it will be good.

    Need... reviews.

    If this thing runs good enough, has the Custom Roadster, and the Bay Surf tracks, I'm freakin' sold on a DS.

    If you've played asphalt or the two NFS games, you'll know what I mean. Collision detection is a real issue in those games...and Burnout had lots of collisions to detect.

    The graphics look pretty good. But nothing compared to the PSP version. Hopefully a solid frame rate and wireless multiplayer makes up for that.

    Well, it's already on the PSP and it got good ratings. I don't why it won't be good for the DS either. If anything, the DS' touchscreen will either make it a little worse, but not make it "terrible".

    If this is anything like the other DS racing games (besides MKDS), this will be terrible.
