Suikoden Lives on PSP!
I think that the reason that it is still interesting after all this time is that it is relaxing. Mondern games are tense. The hold just enough realisim to drag you into the game emotionally, but these older (Old-School) games..are not as draining emotionally, yet provide enough entertainment to suck you in for many hours.
I play this game when I want to take a break from the Xbox 360 and PS3 games....It good enough to keep me playing to the end..
If this was 1998, I'd give it an 8.5...However since it is somewhat old in the tooth, I give it a 7.0
