I like this game. It's Burnout for the DS!

User Rating: 8 | Burnout Legends DS

I had the PSP version and liked it; it looks more like a real Burnout port there. However, I don't like the PSP console in general because load times are horrendous and too many games favor that stupid joystick way down at the bottom; I much prefer the control style of the DS with the 4-way D-pad.

Anyway, I don't understand all the putdowns on the DS version of Burnout Legends. What are people expecting? If you want to be thoroughly impressed, you should be playing the PSP or Xbox versions rather than knocking the DS version. The gameplay on the DS certainly holds true to the original feel of the game: speed, speed, speed, and lots of crashes! The whole gaming experience on the DS is exactly what you'd expect from a typical DS game. There's nothing that's going to shock you here, but this is by no means a 4.0-rated game. (You wanna see a bad racing game? Check out Need For Speed for GBA - now THAT'S bad!) One thing I like is that quite often this game is very forgiving when it comes to close-calls or hitting railings. I really hate when racing games are so touchy that they make you crash if you get too close to things like guardrails, etc. I paid $30 for this game, and I'd buy it again. Challenging, yet I can get through it without 50 tries.

For me it's an 8.
