In the game, players will compete in a series of racing modes to unlock returning tracks, cars and events. The following list includes the 9 main types of modes in the game:

Vehicles

There are a total of 89 cars to unlock through the various classes – these are Compact, Muscle, Coupe, Sports, and Super. [3] There is also the Race Special and Heavyweight classes. Some cars can also be unlocked by completing conditions. 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, [4] but the player only starts with just one random car for each class. 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).

Burnout: Legends received mostly positive reviews for the PSP version, while the DS version received negative reviews, according to video game review aggregator website Metacritic. [5] [6]

During the 9th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences nominated Burnout Legends for "Handheld Game of the Year", which was ultimately awarded to Nintendogs . [23]
