The PSP gets an RPG that is worth playing for awile. Amazing.
First of all the Gameplay in this game is very in-depth when customizing your creatures. To start the Battle system is a Final Fantasy turn-based style, were you can see who attacks next and so forth. The real Gameplay comes from the customization you can do with your monsters such as: Fuse monsters with "Quartz", expand its abilities, add to its stats, and evolve it to new monsters. This game kept me playing for hours just seeing if I could get a fire monster to learn powerful water moves (that was fun). Anyway the Gameplay in this game has a simple battle system built-in with a complex monster configuration system.
The Graphics of the game are amazing to say the least. All the monsters are unique and different in there own way. I loved just searching for new monsters that I have not seen yet. The models are very detailed and nice down to the last touch, the game has a zoom in/out feature for the monster models that adds a nice touch to the overall graphics. The terrain and places of the game is very good each place has its own theme and not many models repeat each other for a very nice, smooth game.
The voice overs in this game were great not to mention the "roar" of all the creatures constantly annoying me. Of course i'm not much of a sound guy myself because i usually listen to music while i play my games. But, for the record I sure did like the voice overs.
This game is worth every penny. A bit expensive for a grade C game but, it is worth it. You get your time and moneys worth from this game. Another great hit from Atlus.
Pros:
- Great voice overs
- Alot of creatures and customization
- Awesome story.
- Models are very nice and smooth for a PSP
- Virtually no loading times (Go Atlus!)
Cons:
- Small lag during some battles (not a problem for most people)
This is a sure pick-up for any Pokemon fan. I'm still playing it with my friends it is a very enjoyable game and I hope it becomes more popular with time.
