Great for Burnout on the Go(Review From Amazon) | General Comments:
I picked up this game after becoming pretty familiar with Burnout: Revenge on the PS2. This basically means I became pretty familiar with slamming into same-way traffic on instinct to earn boost, rack up traffic attack points, and take out unsuspecting rivals with flaming vehicular projectiles. Well, needless to say, you can't do that on Legends, as it's more of in the vein of the other entries in the Burnout series. It's a little more difficult to avoid cars anyway, because headlights/brakelights seem to pop up closer than on the console versions. However, the speed, sound, and sheer graphical beauty of this game is on par with the best looking PSP games out there (Tekken: DR being the high watermark).
Likewise, the controls are simple and intuitive in the classic arcade-racer way, and it's quite easy for vets and noobs alike to just pick it up and play. My only real complaint in the control department regards the aftertouch control in crash mode, which is much less responsive than the console Burnout games. This is frustrating when you're a couple thousand away from a gold, and all you need to do is hit that last trailer on the other side of the street, but for all your mighty struggling with the analog nub, the best you can do crawl to the dotted yellow line and expire in a sigh of exhaust fumes and flaming fuel tanks.
All in all, the PSP may not have an enormous library of "killer aps," but what it does have is a handful of fantastic titles which are changing perceptions of what to expect from portable gaming, and Burnout: Legends is an excellent example. Although it's basically a console port, it's far from watered down, and instead stands as one of the must-have games for anyone with a PSP. |
