  Phantasy Star Portable is what I wished Monster Hunter was.

  Although essentially very repetitive, also very very addicting

  The Phantasy Star series has yet to see a true sequel to Phantasy Star IV, the original Sega Genesis title released in the mid 90's. Since then, Phantasy Star shifted from being a turn-based affair to revamping the gamep... Read Full Review

  Nothing that you haven't played or seen before. Definitely not a game worth picking up.

  The game is GREAT and there is no denying it, but while the game play is awesome, the story isn't so great.

  By The_Gamer_U_H8 | Review Date: May 24, 2009 | PSP

  A great game, and an even better addition to the series, as well as a much appreciated one. The only problem I found was the story and the option of going into first person view. The story is boring and you'l be doing mo... Read Full Review

  Is the handheld version of Phantasy Star a fantasy to play? My Darkzero review.

  By Domstercool | Review Date: May 18, 2009 | PSP

  The Phantasy Star series has been around for over 20 years, but it did not start out as a game that was heavily focused on online play. The first title came out in 1987 on the Master System, which played like a tradition... Read Full Review
