Customer Reviews

For Kids or Not?
Great Great Game! So, here is a different take on reviewing this game. I know everyone else loves the racing of the Burnout series, and surely this is some of the best racing on any platform. However, for me, the absolute best thing about the Burnout series is the crash mode. INCREDIBLE! It is hard to put into words why it is so much fun to drive as fast as you possibly can into a crowded intersection to see just how much monetary destruction you can cause. It's like primordial fun. Your inner beast gets to come out in the form of plowing through semi trucks cars and minivans. Plus, every time you complete a crash intersection, you unlock another. Each crash is different, each intersection is different. Eventually you'll get to harder to crash intersections and the crash mode becomes somewhat of an addicting puzzler, trying to figure out how to get the gold. Each crash intersection takes about 1 minute to complete lending this mode of the game to the perfect portable title.

Bottom Line: Is it fun? Yes. If you like completely destroying cars and you don't mind using a little brainpower to do it, or if you just want the best racer anywhere, get this game. Will I keep it? It can be played forever. Is it for kids? Extremely violent car crashes with no people involved. My kids can't get enough of it.

Great game, but with problems
This is my first game for the PSP, so i'm not going to say this is the best or the worst.Instead, I will just list what I believe to be the pros and cons.

PROS:
-Very, very,very,very,very,very,very,very fun
-I found it (usually) easy to control
-Many cool cars
-crash mode is awsome
-pursuit mode, though hard(unless you know the easy way...), is a very fun addition
-it's very true to the original burnout games
-many hours of play

CONS:
-Road rage is a pain in the ***, and unless you're REALLY good at them, in later stages you'll almost never get past silver
-Burning Lap, though I find them eaiser than in Burnout 3, are still a pain in the ***, especially the early ones.
-For some reason,I find that trying to get the signature takedowns are harder in this game than in Burnout 3
-The 2 first stages of cars really suck
-Crash mode isn't as fun as it used to be, and the camera doesn't follow the action well at all.
-The Legend,i.e the new, cars, except for the j-super, aren't that good.
-The tour can be finished fairly quickly, and there's not a lot of replay value, unless you want to get all the extra cars.
-The game doesn't give you all the collector cars, and it gives you those cars at random; so if you want to get the famed green-and-blue coupe, but you only have the stars-and-stripes car, and you don't know anybody with this game, good luck.
-Framerate is a real issue. I found if there's a lot of action on the screen, the game will become slurpy slow.This can be a real big problem during road rage.
-The circuit racers, and Hot Rod, really suck, except for the cop racer. Unfortunatly, I have not gottten the Euro racer or any other "extra" cars yet.
-What the **** is mirror mode!!??!! I still can't figure out what it is, and I can't turn it off!!

Because I am in the middle of nowhere(my town only has a pop. of 150!!), I still have not been able to try multiplayer, so you'll have to figure that out for yourself. I hope this review helps.

The best Psp racer thus far
This is truly a fun game... especially if you like to run into other cars and make them crash and burn. For Burnout 3 fans, this game will not disappoint you. It has the best features from the other previous burnout games... like pursuit mode where you get to be a cop car and run down other cars. I also own wipeout, and ridge racer and I have to say that this game is a step up from those games in terms of fun gameplay.

Tips: The game will ask you to upgrade your firmware to version 1.52 before you can play it, this was a big turn off for me. If you don't want to upgrade, there ARE alternatives available on the web that allow you to play this game without upgrading firmware, so don't worry. Search the psp websites out there before you upgrade.
