Burnout Legends is the only specifically-for-portable game in the Burnout series and was released on the same day as Burnout Revenge in North America. It was released for the PlayStation Portable on September 13, 2005 and the Nintendo DS on November 29, 2005. The game features many of the tracks and gameplay modes from the first three Burnout games repackaged for the handheld format. Much of the gameplay is similar to Burnout 3: Takedown.

Race: - Race against up to 3 other rivals in a series of laps on a track.

Eliminator: - Similar to race except the racer in last place after each lap is eliminated. The final racer left is the winner.

Face-Off: - Race against a Legend car.

Burning Lap: - Complete a lap of a track in a certain amount of time.

Road Rage: - Take down as many rivals as possible before the time runs out.

Pursuit: - You must takedown down a racer or racers along a track as a cop before the time runs out.

Crash: - Cause as much destruction as possible within a confined junction.

Outside World TourEdit

Time Attack: - Race against the clock. The goal is to complete a lap as fast as you can.

TakedownsEdit

Takedowns in Burnout Legends work exactly the same as they do in Burnout 3. The player must use their vehicle to make their rivals crash by ramming them off the road.

BoostEdit

Boost works just like it does in Burnout 3. The player can use their boost at any time. Boost can be earned by driving dangerously. If a player takes down a rival then their boost will extend and be filled for up to 4x the original length. Crashing will remove a chunk of the boost bar.

VehiclesEdit

There are a total of 95 cars to unlock through the various modes in several different classes: Compact, Muscle, Coupe, Sport, Super and Race Specials along with Heavyweight classes. The vehicles unlocked are those seen in previous Burnout games.

This game also has Collector's cars. There are 5 collector cars for each class. 1 Collector car from each class can be earned in the World Tour at random while the other four can only be earned by beating a player in a challenge race via AdHoc (PSP) or Wi-Fi (DS).

NotesEdit

In addition to a shared soundtrack, Burnout Legends and Burnout Revenge share the same logo design.
While it's debatable whether Legends is a true addition to the Burnout franchise, chronologically it's the fourth game in the series.
