This game is probaly the best Action-RPG game I have seen on the PSP!!!!!!!!
Gameplay: If you played World of Warcraft or any RPG game then you will know what to expect from this game. You play as Shinbu a warrior that was just kicked out by his clan. His goal in the adventure is to become a true warrior but after he finds out that his father (at the end he isn't) and his mom have been killed, his goal changes into avanging his parents death. In the game, you have 4 modes which are storymode, loading mode for loading your saving, ad-hoc mode which you can exchange Bungi rolls (bungi rolls are like combos) with friends and you have download mode which isn't really WIFI multiplayer but with that, you can download to you character some new combos that you can't get in the game. The storymode is really long and you will have some trouble following the story because there is so much action going on and the quest log doesn't really give you anything. For example: After Shinbu is going to see the twin sisters in the lake, his goal is to go to his hometown and pick a letter that his friend left him. He goes and he takes it. And now in the quest log it says that Shinbu's friend is in Suzuka. What does that suppose to mean because Suzuka is a huge place with many areas. The camera angles in this game are perfect for a RPG game and the controlls are really easy to controll. You have 150 combos at your disposal and you have these powers like water, fire and earth that you can make all these kinds of power moves (like Avatar) which is really cool. Graphics: The graphics in this game are actually pretty amazing for a PSP game. The character models are really well done with the mouth movement and the animation and the power moves will just blow you away with the graphical power. What really suprised me about the graphics are the places which are absolutely big. Because the game is so long, there all kinds of places you can go to which is really fun just exploring the places. The frame rate here is really smooth except for the conversations when sometimes the characters speak, they stop for like 5 to 6 seconds and then continue on talking but anyhow the frame rate is really great. Another thing that amazed me is the effect of the water which is really unbelivible.
Sound: The sound in this game is really great. The sound effects of the water, sword clashing and power moves are really amazing, the foot steps could be a little annoying and the voiceovers for the game are really great because if you can't understand what they are saying, you have a text so in the conversations you have text and voiceovers which is kind of neet.
Value: You can play this game for hours and hours trying to finish the game. The storymode is really really long, exploring the enviroments is really fun and the ad-hoc mode and the download mode will keep you busy for a really long time. It is just too bad that this game doesn't have coop mode or WIFI multiplayer because batteling against your friends and showing off your skills and power moves could be really fun.
Reviewer's tilt: Overall, Kingdom Of Paradise makes its impact as the best Action-RPG game you can find on the PSP. The graphics are heart taking, the storymode is really awesome and the fact that there are 150 moves in this game is pretty amazing. The game also features an excelent download mode and a cool ad-hoc mode. If you like RPG games, go buy this game. Even if you don't , you still must try this game because it is a hell of fun in this game. It would be fun if there would be a coop and WIFI multiplayer mode but althought that, the game is a really fun game and you should buy it at all cost.
