Since its revolutionary take on the PC , I'd expected the PSP version to be as solid and enjoyable as well. Im wrong.
Thumbs-up:
1. Solid graphics.
2. Satisfying audio.
3. Plenty of loot.
4. Beautiful world map.
5. Detailed characters.
Thumbs-down:
1. Frustrating load times which is inexcusable. ( GoW and FF7CrisisCore - Load times are better by tenfold )
2. Poor terrain design ( Collisions with objects too frequent - halts the flow of the game )
3. Terrible inventory design. ( Shouldve made inventory management less tedious )
4. Gets repetitive over time.
5. Screen abit too small. ( U cant see enemies except on the map which really spoils the experience when ur ranging or a caster )
6. Framerate could be better. ( Especially in combat )
7. Custom characters wouldve been a nice touch.
Conclusion:
I might have been too harsh on this one , but since i invested about 8 hours on this ( which some may think insufficient ) I had came to the inevitable conclusion - load times are way damn annoying. However, if u have the knack to daydream at will during the frequent load times and u really DO enjoy hack-n-slash games, by all means, get it. But rent it first.
