IGN Quote: "Manhattan just can't catch a break these days"
With the latest Third Person Shooter for the psp, Square Enix manages to remain top of my favorite game company also made me like parasite eve. When I first played P.E. 2 i felt it mediocre w/ the controls and story. Years Later they showed the trailer of The 3rd Birthday wich made me rethink of hating P.E. series. And I was right, it surpassed my expectations plus, I loved the bonus content in the Twisted Edition.

The 3rd Birthday is fun mash up of third person shooting and rpg stuff, which makes a really good combination (unlike Lord of Arcana.)

The Story:
Well the story is confusing, first of all it didn't explain why the FBI attacked the wedding of Aya and Kyle. Second is that to really understand the story behind the twisted and the high ones. Combine all to and you get a weird Daytime-Soap-Opera Shows.

Gameplay:
Unlike the it's predecessor it's not a horror game, it's more of a Resident Evil except with out the horror or intense scenes. Instead it's an Awesome TPS where you can do this "Overdive" thing where you can take the place from one ally to another by using overdive. Weapons are good, changing DNA is cool and Getting to Have different costumes like Lighning's Costume is AWESOME!!!!

Graphics:
As usual the graphics are fantastic!!!!! If you say it sucks then go play your GBA, I bet it has lots of COOL games in it special the AWESOME graphics it has.

Sound:
Solid Voice Soundtrack but the voice acting is at the mercy of the script.

Replay:
If you wanna get everything then be my guest cause one of the main replay value is the story cause you won't get any thing out of the story if you just played it once.

Achievements:
The Good:
Best Gameplay
Best Graphics
Best Soundtrack
The Bad:
Confusing Story plot
Mediocre Voice Acting
Highly Recommended for Third Person Shooter fans and P.E. fans.
