Burnout Legends is the first spin-off game in the popular Burnout franchise and the fifth game overall, specifically released for the PlayStation Portable on 13 September 2005 in North America, 16 September in Europe, 20 October 2005 in Japan and the Nintendo DS on 29 November 2005 in North America and 9 December 2005 in Europe. The game features many of the tracks and gameplay modes from the first three Burnout games, but repackaged for the handheld format. Many of the gameplay modes are similar to Burnout 3: Takedown using a mixture of old and new tracks.
In the game, players will compete in a series of racing modes to unlock new tracks, cars, and events. The following list includes the 9 main types of modes in the game:
There are a total of 95 cars to unlock through the various classes – these are Compact, Muscle, Coupe, Sport, and Super. There is also the Race Special and Heavyweight classes. Some cars can also be unlocked by completing achievements. The cars featured in the game are from Burnout 2 and 3.
The game also has Collector's cars. There are five collector cars for each class, however the player only starts out with just one. To get the other four, the player has to challenge another player on a Wi-Fi battle mode, betting their collector car against theirs and win their car in the challenge (the Collector's cars are exclusive for the PSP version).
The PSP version received "favorable" reviews, while the DS version received "unfavorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.
