PSP game reccomendations

[-Seraph-]

Rent Monster Hunter, it's not for everyone but if you really enjoy it after your first Yian Kut Ku you'll be unable to put the game down.

I've been thinking of picking up Monster hunter, but all the online reviews (ign, gamespot) intimidated me with mentionings of the game's difficulty. And.. I can't rent. Parental units does not rely on renting. Did you think the game was hard?

There is a demo for the latest one (Freedom Unite) up for download on the PSN. You might wanna download that and try it if you are interested in playing a monster hunter game. It has a good chunk of game to it and you'll get to know the basics of the game as you fight a few monsters and a boss or two.

I second half minute hero. Great game, doesn't go by as fast as the title mentions, especially if you want to unlock everything. Isn't too difficult on normal. If you're willing to wait their making a sequel, but it won't have all the modes the first one has. It'll be focusing on the 'main' mode, hero 30, which was the best mode, although the others were also fun.
Also, patchwork heroes, KH Birth by Sleep (if you haven't played the other games you might not like it as much due to the plot being insane), and Crisis Core.

If you still have no idea, try checking various sites for their top rated psp games.

Ok, I'm going to go into a bit of a rant here so I apologize in advance.

It's not so much hard as different. It's a game that forces you to develop your own tactics. And it doesn't coddle you, it kicks you right into a tough battle with no advice, just don't die. Battles with monsters are based on precision, timing, and strategic use of items. Even when you're rocking top tier armor, and a huge firey buster sword, acting like a fool will get you slaughtered. Armor and Weapons are really only there to give you a better chance in a fight, if you're good enough at the game, you can beat hard bosses with just the basic items. So really it all comes down to individual player skill, where all your items, armor, weapons, and equipment only exist to buff up your chances of victory. I would watch a few videos of it, and read a few of the reviews on Gamefaqs, as they give enough info on it.

It does have it's problems, bad camera angles, lots of loading, a lot of grinding, and sections that will have you ripping your hair out, but some find it fun.

And even if you don't like it early on, once you get a few missions in the game stops sending you to collect berries and has you fight mounstrous beasts. And that's where the game should really be judged, as the first few missions are really just an extended tutorial.

I can give it my recommendation, but It's an aquired taste not everyone can dig, so I suggest find an extremely cheap copy of freedom 1, or find a demo.

Dj Max Fever.

If you're into music games, I'd say at least check it out.

I hear good things about Dissidia and the God of War games.

[J3llo]

I've just finished my first console game, a PSP game, and I want to buy another one. I play some casual games on the computer sometimes, and I had a great time playing with the PSP. Has anyone played any good PSP games or one that stands out that deserves particular mention?
I'm up for most PSP games, although I'm not a fan of racing, RTS, turn-based games, or FPSs.
*edit* I won't play any M-rated games, because of my parental units, besides, I don't usually see the appeal of overly sexual or violent games. And I will play turn-based RPGs only if they are really, really good.

Try 'Monster Hunter Freedom Unite'. Truly superb game right there

 

[ZomBees33]

If you can't play "M" games, you've still got a large library to chose from. LocoRoco 2 and Patapon 2 (both rated "E") are easy to pick up, fun, and very original. It also don't hurt that they're $9.99 in the PSN store. Full disclosure, I work at a communications company that's affiliated with Sony, but hopefully that's still helpful (if you don't believe me, check out the reviews for those games).

You could say that about 90% of PSP games to be fair. Take some getting used to.

If you've never played Final Fantasy Tactics, you should absolutely pick up Final Fantasy Tactics 'War of the Lion'. It's, in my mind, the best rendition of the Tactics gameplay.

I can also highly recommend Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth. It's one of my favorite RPG style games ever. You play as a Norse Valkyrie who collects the spirits of the dead from Earth and recruit them to fight at the end of the world.

Patapon is a good puzzle game, but God help anyone within earshot of you. They may have to murder you.

Loco Roco and Lumines are also excellent casual games for the PSP.

Doesn't Little Big Planet have a PSP port?

There's God of W..ait.
I really liked GT...Oh.
Maybe Valkyria... no.

Loco Roco. The LocoRoco games are really good.
They also made Mod Nation Racers for the psp.

 

[ginty2]

i would recommend ( under an M rating)

kingdom hearts birth by sleep
lumines
wipeout any of them for the psp
ratchet and clank
me and my katamari
PSP minis if you can download
super stardust for PSP

i would recommend but not sure about rating

metal gear acid 2
resistance retribution
killzone liberation ( ok that probably is M but still good)

if all else fails you can always get a DS.

 

[Gamegodtre]

Djmax3
Miku Hatsune Project Diva (jap)
Rock Band unplugged
Tales of the World Radiant Mythology
are some good ones
also Z.H.P

 

[Polyg0n]

I don't know what rating it has but Resistance: Retribution was a lot of fun. Also Loco Roco, Patapon, Burnout: Legends, Eye of Judgement: Legends (if you like Magic the Gathering) and Gundam Asssault Survive (if you can get your hands on it) are definately worth checking out.

And if you like rhythm games then Pop'n Music Portable.

 

[Requx]

Final Fantasy Dissidia is like the best game ever. Check it out, also check out Dnd Tactics...its good if you like dnd. And ofc god of war.

While I love D&D, I don't like how easy it is to switch alignment in D&D: Tactics. I started Lawful Good and now I'm Lawful Evil and I don't even know why.

Recommendations are easier when we know what type of games you like to play. Anyway, from what wasn't mentioned yet...

Final Fantasy: War Of The Lions (FF: Tactics redone)
Star Wars: Elite Squadron
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Disgaea
Patapon
Jeanne D'Arc

Plus, download Final Fantasy VII. Though you may need a memory card bigger than 2GB for that. I personally bought Sony's 16GB card. It's sold with the computer accessories rather than the video game accessories.

Did you steal that wolf orb cuz that makes you evil...but yeah alignment is kinda lame in the game. You get like one decision and that decides your alignment.
