This actually looks pretty good! I might pick this up if I feel like a racer for DS that isn't Mario Kart.

Other than that, the engine looks really nice, and there is some great detail. Something tells me though it won't run at a great framerate.
Perhaps that is why the motion blur exists.

Anyway, like everyone else, I'm just waiting to see the framerate. If it is steady I might consider it. When is it coming out again?

I'm perfectly fine with a less pretty version of the PSP game if it means it's cheaper and I don't have to get a PSP.

It is indeed crazy.

I was wrong. I just took a closer look and it looks like there are tons of PSP games for $50. Midnight Club 3, Spider-Man 2, THUG 2 Remix, MVP Baseball, NBA Street Showdown, NFL Street 2 Unleashed are all $50. Future games for $50 include SSX On Tour, Madden NFL 06 and Tiger Woods 2006, Star Wars Battlefront 2, GTA:LCS, X-Men Legends 2, Sims 2 and MG Acid 2.

if they bought the PSP to play PSP games.

The only $40 titles were either budget ports, (Darkstalkers Chronicles) smaller games (Lumines) or first party titles. So basically when Burnout Legends and GTALCS come out they're gonna be $50. This was one of the reasons I've left the handheld alone all this time, even during it's "great" launch.

The odd rotaing DS/angle used for the trailer just screams out to me that they EA is trying to hide something. The crash system looks less than spectacular and the graphics don't look much better than the DS launch title Asphalt: Urban GT (which I enjoyed, but have no need to purchase another game just like it). Though I was pleasantly surprised to hear that familiar "Burnout" soundtrack.

Gamers can also spend endless hours with the Burnout Legends suite of multiplayer options, including WiFi showdowns, customizable mini-championships and a wireless Game Share option where friends can play head-to-head.
"Game Share" sounds as if it's local play, whereas WiFi is online play.

QuoteWhile I'd love this game to use WFC, I don't see the WFC logo on the box art nor do I see the game listed on NintendoWifi.com. So i'd really be inclined to think that it is not going to use WFC and that they are (maybe purposefully) confusing multi-card DS to DS WiFi with Nintendo WFC. Why would either Nintendo or EA want to hide online?

Let's get two things out of the way first,
1. There's no online mode to be seen whatsoever
2. If you're expecting it to look as good as PSP don't bother, just spare yourself the disappointment.
With that said, as with most DS games, it's looks better in motion than it does on still screenshots. The game suprisingly runs at 60fps except during those times when there's a lot of stuff going on onscreen. Otherwise it stays respectably consistent. Motion Blur IS for better or worse in the game and doesn't affect the framerate at all. Only thing I got against it is that it makes the game screen look like it blurs like PSP. In the average race you do have 4 other opponents to race against as well as traffic. Draw distance is actually pretty good, you can see just enough ahead of you to make the decisions you need to. The D-pad is gonna take some getting used to here, but unlike NFSU2DS I don't think it's gonna make me sell it. EA-Trax are gone, in it's place are rock and techno tunes courtesy of Shin'en Multimedia's DSX which actually doesn't sound bad at all. It's a good deal better than NFSU2's music.
I'll be back with some more impressions later, but so far I think it's a keeper. I'll see if I can cover the multiplayer options by then.
Wow, a 3.5. Maybe there's something I didn't catch yet cuz it doesn't quite feel 3.5 to me, YET.
