Nanostray called and told me to pass along it's deep regret and moral outrage at crappy ports to a system unsuited to a game, and ports that don't even come close to utilizing the hardware to at that.
But seriously, this is just stupid and throwing Burnout onto the DS to try and move product on name alone. Haters can mock the DS for this, but it CAN do better.
On the other hand, even Burnout Legends on PSP is a little slapdash in the graphics once you look more closely and see it in motion. Attn. Criterion: CRAPPY PORTS HURT IP.
