Both featured briefly in the original Vice City so its nice to see this game expand on their origin story. The open world environment that makes Grand Theft Auto games so unique is back once more. Players can move with freedom at their own pace. Beating the game does not feel like a chore due to this non-guided progression. Debate surrounded the original game due to the glorification of violence, crime and drugs. It also came under fire for its racial profiling.
Much of that is still present in Vice City Stories making it strictly for adults. At the peak of the street racing craze birthed from the immense success of The Fast and Furious movie franchise, Need for Speed was the lead racing video game. As the ninth installment in the Need for Speed franchise, Most Wanted is an incredibly polished racing game. There is a ton of content to delve into. The story mode is superb and, as the title suggests, the goal is to become the most wanted street racer in the city of Rockport.
You can also play online via the PSP to much enjoyment. The online feature is as great as one could expect from a portable online experience. There are some issues regarding connectivity however these are minor concerns in the grand scheme of things.
The graphics and car variety combine to provide the best aspects of this game. The roster of luxury cars and exotic streetcars is a blast to dig into. Most Wanted offers some great customization options.
You car will develop in performance and aesthetic as you progress in the game. The graphics are gritty with dark undertones that play well with the theme of street racing. The controls are also extremely intuitive for a handheld racing game.
In fact many believe the handheld version to be superior to the console version due to the controls alone. Unfortunately, the enemy AI in this iteration is highly questionable in their actions. In this case it would be the police department. Once the cops are on your tail it is game over for most. This essentially punishes the player for playing the game properly. As the sixth instalment in the franchise, expectations were naturally high.
Birth by Sleep continues the trend of prequels exclusively made for the PSP. This game is a direct narrative prequel to the original Kingdom Hearts. Luckily, there is enough innovation introduced to the combat system to sidestep any notions of stagnation. There is no denying that the loading screens are painfully slow. Secondly, the dialogue is rather weak. Throughout the play through interactions are few and far between.
When the rare portion of dialogue appears the disappointment is palpable. These are minor letdowns in the grand scheme of things. There is so much to love here, from the stunning vibrant visuals to the endearing original music; Birth by Sleep is one of the best PSP games around.
The unique three-character setup is also quite enjoyable. The ability to control three characters offers distinct gameplay variety. The action-filled gameplay is relentless. The new features such as Focus and Dimension Link add much needed depth and make this game so much more than a typical hack and slash.
Ultimately, Birth of Sleep succeeds in creating new Kingdom Hearts fans. Its accessibility as a prequel means that this is the perfect Kingdom Hearts game to discover the beloved franchise.
As with any game not designed for a specific device, concerns arise regarding its quality. First and foremost there are some aspects exclusive to the PSP version. Kitana and Jax are noteworthy additions seeing as they are franchise favorites. There is also a new playable game mode only available in Unchained. The mode is titled Endurance and players must last as long as possible against a wave of never ending opponents.
Although the presence of an online feature is a welcome component, its quality is rather disappointing. Anyone who plays even a few fights online will notice consistent frame dropping and lag. Stage interaction not only adds another layer to fighting strategy but it also provides some laugh-inducing moments as players lose to the stage as opposed to their enemy.
Performing a fatality remains a highly entertaining way of proving your superiority over your opponent. The plot is characteristically thin for a Mortal Kombat game. It is a good thing that the game emphasizes combat strategy over storytelling. When it comes to quality racing games, Wipeout is often overlooked as an industry-leading franchise. Yet, Sony Interactive Entertainment has continued to publish racing games imbued with such unique gameplay. It turns out a portable racing experience perfectly suits the gameplay Wipeout is notorious for.
Wipeout Pure was released as a launch title for the PSP. Players would take control of airships and race them in the anti-gravity racing league called FX The racing mechanics are what makes this game excel above the level of an average racing game.
For starters, players must choose the airship that matches their style of racing. Each of the eight ships has been imbued with different racing characteristics. These variations in speed and strength offer a ton of gameplay variety. Wipeout Pure racing utilizes weapons and shields. Weapons can be used against other racers on the track, while shield levels determine how many hits your ship can take. If your shield levels hit zero your ship will explode, eliminating you from the race. Track design is one of the standout features.
The futuristic atmosphere is well executed on every track. With an extra purchase, players could gain access to new ships and tracks.
The graphics and high-speed gameplay are the two strongest aspects of the game. Everything pops on screen thanks to the cutting-edge graphics. The gameplay ensures that players will be coming back for more. As a Sony exclusive franchise, Jak and Daxter games are always highly anticipated releases.
This spinoff game featuring Daxter in the starring role was the first of the franchise to be released on a handheld console. Daxter sets out on a quest to find his lost companion Jak. Fans of the franchise will be delighted to learn that the events of the game tie into the mainline series. The timing is tricky to grasp as it takes place after the events presented during the opening of Jak II.
A common concern for portable games is the intuitiveness of the controls. This is especially true when a franchise moves from home console to portable play. Luckily there are no issues in relation to control mechanics. They feel responsive as can be. Jumping from ledge to ledge and crouching around passages can be performed smoothly. Another aspect that enhances the control mechanics is the camera. The camera flows quite smoothly which gives the player a clear view of the surroundings.
The graphics are fantastic for a portable iteration of the franchise. In addition, the world is imbued with a ton of color and personality which makes the game a joy to play. God of War is yet again another Sony exclusive series that has been on the receiving end of high praise.
Control Spartan warrior Kratos as he is tasked with hunting down one of the Olympian Gods. In terms of storytelling this is a prequel to the original God of War that released in on the PlayStation 2. Much of what made that game a success is prevalent once more. The Chains of Olympus gameplay is what makes this game fantastic. It manages to combine a variety of genres into one action packed container.
There are aspects of puzzle solving that will require even the most experienced strategist to come up with a plan. There are aspects of combo oriented fighting that excel thanks to the third person view. The player must utilize the iconic Blades of Chaos. Cutting up your enemies will provide hours of entertainment and finding the right combo will prove to be difficult.
The story itself is a wonderful mix of fiction and historic events. History enthusiasts will be enthralled by the tale and be fully immersed in the story. Further, he graphics are superb for a handheld game.
The gore is highlighted in most scenes and adds shock value to the action. The camera, in particular, is fluid in motion. This game was noticeably created for exclusive use on the PSP. The kicker part was the Bunny was only visible to the Sim who needed it, so if players switched to other household members it looked like the Sim was talking to themselves. Weird, fun gameplay like that kept players coming back for more.
