Burnout Legends for the PSP is the first portable instalment in the franchise and it promises to be a worthy addition to any PSP owner’s game library as Burnout Legends is a collection of the best game modes from previous titles in the series, including race, time attack, road rage, pursuit, and crash modes, as well as multiplayer modes that use the PSP’s wireless connectivity.

The Nintendo DS version of Burnout Legends is expected to be available in November.
