Very good port of a very good game, should definetly be on the P

by TheDeadsaint Nov 21, 2009, 12:15 PM PST

The game itself is a port of PSU and PSU:AOTI, featuring a single player mode with multiple endings and ad-hoc mode for up to 4 players and a couple of modified content. The synthesis of items was completely removed, being a huge timesink very dependent on the MMO nature of the first games. Also, item drop rates seem to have been improved for a more leisurely play style, without having to grind endlessly for a good pair of pistols or sabers.
The port of the game was really well made in my opinion. The game visuals looks very good, the sound quality is great and the controls feel so natural that anyone would think the game was made for the PSP in the first place. There are a couple slowdowns happening when there are a lot of stuff on the screen, like 4 players on ad-hoc mode alongside many enemies, but I dont think its enough to hinder the game enjoyment a single bit.
If you're already familiar with the series or if you enjoy hack'n'slash, dungeon crawling and RPG games, I can't recommend this title enough.

It's a strange thing this game is not on the Playstation Store yet, but I really hope SEGA will put it there, so more people (specially PSP GO owners) can enjoy this awesome game.

Why is this not on the Playstation Store

by DaNightLife Nov 12, 2009, 7:52 PM PST

My son and myself have the UMD version, however we also have a PSPgo in the house now, and there isn't a digital distribution of this title on PSN...

For those of you that do not have this title, I highly recommend it. For those of you that are long time Phantasy Star patrons, like myself, this edition cleaned up a lot of the annoying parts of Phantasy Star Universe. You have virtually all of the PSU: AotI content and then some, with a new storyline and characters. Very Nice addition to the PSU franchise (Not PSO but PSU)... please add this to the Playstation Store soon.

Phantasy Star Online Good game

by Drkslayer_JP Jul 21, 2009, 12:26 AM PDT

Well this game was pretty good, I played the demo which was the Japanese version and it was pretty good. I like the game play and the graphics is alright but it's like kinda the fighting style. You know the one, two, three attack style, well it could have a little bit more moves but I give it a 9.
