User Rating: 7 | Ys: The Ark of Napishtim PSP
YS Ark of Napishtim, is a great game for the PSP console, the story is ok too.

Cons:
The only bad thing about this game is the loading screen, i have read tons of reviews about it and i though it wouldnt be that bad, but it is. After enter to a city, dungeon, even a room, the loading screen appears and it takes about 5 to 30 or more seconds. One of the worst things about this game is that when you level up the screen freezes until it loads the "stunning" level up visual effect, this happens also when you are talking to someone and other character appears onto the scene. Konami did such a bad work that even in the item screen it take 2 or 3 seconds to load the thumbnail of the item.
Another bad thing about Ys is that the enemies are pretty hard to beat between areas and you get killed too often, it woudlnt be that bad but when you restart you game you need to.... LOAD the level again...
The loading screen has random animations with the NOW LOADING text but you get bored seeing it.

Pros:
Fast and cool gameplay, music is ok too, bosses are stunning, the intro movie is soooo cool that you think this game is gonna rock!

I suppose this game is not for everyone, you need PATIENCE to play it but its worth of it, if you dont mind this loading screen appear everytime. I hope Konami does a better work for future PSP games and create a RPG that can maintain SHORT loading times.
