What games to buy for a 3 hour plane ride.

Flying to bahamas from nyc and i hate flying, need to keep myself distracted for those 3 "short" hours lol, i only have three games for the psp because i never really play it, except when i travel FF:core and both gta's. I want to get a couple good games i can play for 3 hours there and 3 hours back. Any suggestions would appreciate it, thank you.

If you like or enjoy classic or retro games The Capcom Collections (Reloded and Remixed) have an nice amount of games in ti that are fun and they are cheap. ($20 or less). Tekken DR (Dark Ressurection) has a nice amoutn of replablity and a solid fighting game. For third person shooters Syphon Filter or Resistence Retribution is more than 3 hours and really good. I wouldn't recommend God Of War because your 3 hour plane ride is half the amount to beat the game. There isn't much replayablity or length to it. Though if you get it fairly cheap why not. It's a good game. Just too short.

P.S. Go Nyc. (:P . just had to say that. Fellow New Yorker FTW).

I agree with resistence, or you could also get socom FTB 2 or GTA vice city stories.

All good games!! :D

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords seems like it'd be able to hold your attention for 3 hours lol

if you like old school rpg's, FF 1&2, star oceans, and FF T is very cheap.

Oh and I checked out Reel Fishing: The Great Outdoors. Not that bad of a game. Takes patience but really isn't that bad. Maybe might want to rent it or get it used ot try.(No sarcasm or joke intended). [Special Thanks to Ston3henge for the Recommendation on the fourms]DarkMaster7991

Indeed.

There's a subtle sort of zen to the game... it's kind of like how the scientists figured out that Tetris causes an endorphin rush in female players a few years ago (no lie). "Reel Fishing: The Great Outdoors" is confusing to most gamers because there's no dramatic RUSH to do much of anything. The joy of it is in finding out how to correctly play each species (and subsequently, each size of each species)... the temptation is to quit, to mash on the 'X' and reel like JoJo The Idiot Boy, and all that will get is a broken line or a lost catch. There are a TON of real-world fishing tips and tricks which actually work here... you need patience to figure the optimal feeding times of each species, and how to work their environments and what sort of baits work in combination with all of the other possibilities... there's really no "failure" in the game, if you lose too many bits of tackle the old guy who's hosting you will brow-beat you for squandering his stuff, but you never "lose". And even though some of the things the old dude says can be taken in a slightly creepy tone, he's got good advice about how to land an illusive trophy.

It's not for everyone, but there is a really deep game here for people who take the time to try... for example, it took me forever to start catching Large-Mouth Bass. The Bluegill were easy, butI had to work through a day of catching Bluegill until the sun started to dip, and then the bass started hitting fast and furious... and when that Lunker hits and you manage to land it, you feel like you've been through a struggle.

It's a good game to have in the collection, one that you can use as a cool-down... and you'll find yourself wanting to up that catch record after awhile, getting a trout that's just a liiiiittle bigger than the last one you hauled out of the river... It's not like those "Bass Challenge!!!" arcade games where the announcer yells at you about time limits, it's about getting out on the bank of the lake and casting, relaxing, and every once in awhile, getting that big'n. The graphics aren't quite as cool as the console versions, and technically this is a port of "Reel Fishing III" I've found... oddly enough, my favorite so far of the four games, graphically, is still the first one which I think is a PSOne game (I wish I had the first two but I gave them away after beating them, still have "III" but it's been broken wide open)... but it's not bad at all in any department on the PSP. There's even an ad-hoc mode so you CAN compete with a pal, heh heh...

Rent it through GameFly or something first if you can do so conveniently... and be patient, above all, because it is NOT a traditional video game... but try it out! Y'know, there was a time when all of my friends looked at me likeI was nuts for pushing video golf games, and then Golden Tee and Tiger Woods/ EA Sports made it more than cool... get on the NEW trend ahead of the bell-curve, folks!

:D

PS - Thanks for the props andfor actually taking meseriously long enough to discover your inner angler, Dark! Glad i could turn you on to something you might not have looked twice at... I love it when someone does that for me! It's a big ol' world out there kids, and it doesn't start and stop with "Resistance" and "FFCC".

3 hrs isnt too bad. I would recommend downloading some games off the Playstation network (or at least demos) and you can rip some DVDs to your psp also using software like Pavtube DVD ripper. Thats what i use. The free version just puts a little watermark in the corner. but still works great.

games i recommend are Flatout:Headon. That game has a career mode that takes quite a while to beat. also i'd recommend Ace Combat X if you like flying games and God of War Chains of Olympus is pretty fun. I dont agree that the game is that short. I rented it and played it off and on for a few days, almost beat it.

Yeah... get online with your PSP and download all of the demos on th PSN (they's Free'n all), and "Ace Combat X" is a ******* GREAT game... whenever they have these "Best of" polls, I never see it mentioned, but honestly one of the best graphics and game-play on the PSP. Kudos.

Thanks guys appreciate it, how about Disgaea or hammerin hero, how are those games? Pretty much want a game i can have a stress free time with if possible lol. Thanks again.

I was thinking about getting The Show. Need a good sports game before I go to iraq.

mlb 08 is a very good game and I got it cheap for $12 new off ebay and it's the best sports game that I've played on psp. Also killzone liberation is pretty sweet as well and it's a great way to pass the time.

I highly recommend Disgaea!!!!

God of War: Chains of Olympus is a good choice since it's easy to pick up and rather short. In other words, while a game like FF:T or Disgaea will have you barely scratching the surface, you'll actually get somewhere in GoW......

Other decent choices are Resistance: retribution or Manhunter 2 (Star Ocean 2 for longevity).

Otherwise I'll recommend FF:T and Disgaea (I only base Disgaea off of the ps3 version but thats a fair comparison in this case).

There is a demo of Hammmerin Hero: The Carpenter's Story and it is great fun, try it out if it still can be downloaded.

Also was thinking of getting the show 09, are there even any good sports games for the psp?zepfya

I recommend Virtua Tennis World Tour, such a great game.

GoW is a great game, and those here who say the game is super short, I can't agree. I started this game on Hard and I've put many good hours into this game. Still not done it and I've spent way more than 6 hours on it. You either have to be really good at GoW or play it on a lower difficulty to finish it that quickly.

God of War Chains of Olympus

To bad you would beat it after your out of the plane :(

Tekken: Dark Resurrection - because of its round per round set - up ( fighting game - duh! )

Crisis Core - because its chapters and missions are good on the go!

God of War: CoO - short but epic!!!!

Resistance - its quick and intense action won't let you down, especially when on a trip...

oh yeah, God Of War: CoO isn't that short... at my first try at normal i had 6 hours of gameplay. next time i tried very hard but i had 7 hours.... but eventually, even at very hard, i got only 5 hours and 45 mins. of gameplay. guess i just got really good after replaying it several times....:P
