Burnout Legends is another game in the Burnout franchise and the first to be released for Sony's PlayStation Portable and the Nintendo DS. The Playstation Portable version was released alongside Burnout Revenge for PlayStation 2 and Xbox on September 13, 2005. Burnout Legends 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 using some old and new tracks. A poorly received port of Burnout Legends for the Nintendo DS was released on November 29, 2005. It is inferior to the Playstation Portable version of the game, which has received very high rankings and is considered to be a very good racing game for the Playstation Portable.
Differences include extremely watered down sound and graphics. Also, none of the music from the Playstation Portable version was ported to the DS version. Instead, the DS version has "midi-music". These differences are likely due to having been handled by a different development team - whereas most of the critically-acclaimed Burnout games for home consoles and the PSP were handled by Criterion Games, EA Studios outsourced the Burnout license to Visual Impact for the DS version.
