The first Burnout (Franchise) game not made by Criterion (only DS version, PSP Version was developed by Criterion), Burnout Legends brings all that fans loved from the first three games to the PSP. The World Tour mode is similar to that of the Burnout 3 version, save the world map. Here players are given a series of events for a specific car type. Once players have won a gold in the grand prix for said series, the next is unlocked. Most cars are unlocked through progression in the World Tour mode.
Burnout Legends also sees the return of a Burnout 2: Point of Impact game mode, Pursuit mode. Here the player takes control of a police car and must smash into an opposing vehicle. Taking this car out before it has reached the finish line will result in a victory. Legends also features the typical game modes:
All of these modes are also available in the games local multiplayer
In Burnout Legends, most of the tracks are taken from all previous Burnout games from Burnout 1, 2 and 3. The tracks are divide in 3 different regions of the game: USA, Europe (Location) and the Far East/Asia.
There are a total of 89 cars to unlock in five categories: Compact, Muscle, Coupe, Sport, and Super. This is done by performing certain tasks in the World Tour, such as getting a certain amount of gold medals, or all signature takedowns.
This game also has "Collector's cars." There are 5 special cars for each class, however you only have one on the game (like Collector Car 3). To get the other four, you have to beat a player in a multiplayer mode while using your collector car against one another. Who ever wins gets the others' car added to their collection.
