Those graphics are sick. I am definatly getting this next friday.

Edit: I just checked gamespots review and they gave it a 9.0! Another good game for psp.

I have just got hold of this little beauty off a friend who works at a game shop - it isn't out until next Friday according to him. It really is superb and keeps the fast pace of the PS2 Take Down release - you wouldn't believe it is running on a handheld! I will post a better review tomorrow after I have played it for a bit. Got to give it him back tomorrow though

Here is a few screenshots of it that I took with my V3 so excuse the quality :-

Hmmm.....something is still going wrong with the setup of this forum because Alcapone's post is above mine for some reason :shock:

Anyway, the game. Sigh, just had to give it him back but let me tell you this is the best game I have played on the PSP so far. If you have played Burnout 3 on the PS2 or XBox then you will know what this game is like - it is almost identical in both graphics and gameplay. The layout of the game is slightly different but is no worse for it. The only thing I noticed that differs graphics wise is the lack of blur effect when you boost but that is minor. The speed the graphics run at when you boost on a high end car beggars belief - you really will not believe a small device like the PSP could do it. The controls are responsive and the sound and music are top notch. As for a comparison with Ridge Racers, suffice to say the isn't one. Both games are arcade racers but Burnout Legends is so much more than just racing around a track. I really do suggest you buy it next week because I will be.

Graphics 9/10
Sound 8/10
Gameplay 9/10
Overall 9/10
