Video Game Reviews of Burnout Legends
Customer Review: Burnout on DS has problems, but it's still fun
Summary: 3 Stars
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.
