im downloading it now. I cant play it on the PC anymore because of vista and XP, so even if it isnt as good as the PC version, its still a blessing. Ill let you know when its done.

It might have low ratings because it has the same graphics as the PC version LOL. I did love this on PC way back when. The funniest thing is sending a hoard of villagers to finish off the enemy.

It's the PC game that started all the RTS's like Age of Empires.

Well, ive played it, and ill give you my honest opinion. It doesnt live up to the PC version. The graphics seem to be on medium to cope with the original PSONE hardware, and the load times arent great. The controls can also take some getting used to. That said, it is still a very solid game, and if you loved populous before you will still love this version. If you can, download it onto your PSP, because this is where the game really shines. the analogue nub makes an excellent mouse substitute, and the controls make much more sense. The smaller screen also improves the graphics.
