Burnout Legends pushes the technical abilities of Sony's handheld so hard you wonder if it will explode.

User Rating: 8.5 | Burnout Legends PSP
Burnout Legends is racing game developed exclusively for the handheld systems. Like previous games in the series, it provides an accessible and easy to play high octane racing experience. The game is simple, and yet provides plenty of challenge and racing events, and unlockables to satisfy any gamer. The racing itself capitalizes on driving dangerously, awarding you with boost for driving into oncoming traffic, smashing other racers, catching air, or otherwise driving like a complete maniac. When you crash during a race, you are shown the oddly beautiful deformation of the highly detailed cars. Multiple racing modes make sure that you will never run out of things to do.
The cars and tracks in the game are beautifully detailed, ranking it high in the crowded list of psp racers, from a graphical standpoint, all though it feels blazingly fast, it does not run at 60 fps like the console games, and the frame rate does take a hit once in a great while, but that is definitley forgivable since the psp power is somewhat limited.
Burnout Legends may seem godly and without fault in my review so far but there are a few large gripes I have about the game. First of all there are not many tracks to race on, so you'll probably run all of them dry by the time you beat all of the racing events in the game. In addition, many of the cars in the game you will never be able to drive because they require you to win a multiplayer race via ad hoc to unlock them. The probability of another player owning a psp and a copy of the game, as well as them being in the same room as you, is depressingly low. This disappointing aspect of the game leads us to another huge shortfall of the game. There is no multiplayer competition available in the game, which is massively disappointing.
Shortfalls aside, Burnout Legends is definitely worth picking up for any psp owner. Its high speed and beautiful racing, and the sheer amount of content in the game makes it worth a purchase,
