Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars

It is not a bad portable GTA games 

Game no: 412
Genre: Action  
Platform: PSP
Release Date: 2009

















What is it about?
You return to liberty city to avenge the death of your father 

What I liked?
GTA gameplay with a 2.5D top down approach 
The amount of cars, bikes and boats which each provide a different feel of driving 
The storyline is interesting 
The good part is all missions have some variety in it 
This game was meant for the DS so there are a lot of touch screen gameplay. It works with the buttons on the PSP perfectly. Jacking cars is fun 

What I didn't liked?
Selling drugs gets boring after a while. But that is the only way to get a lot of money in a short amount time.
Accessing your phone takes 10 second delay it does make it tedious 
The touch screen section gets very tedious and gimmicky 
Throwing molotov is not that good 

Status: Played the game until mission 46 and then there was a game breaking bug and then just YouTube the final mission

Fun Factor: A fun handheld game but a bit too long

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

An additional add on of the FF7 story 

Game no: 393
Genre: RPG 
Platform: PSP 
Release Date: 2007
Factory Sealed:
217









What is it about?
The events before Final Fantasy VII where we follow a SOLDIER name Zack 

What I liked?
The story actually is good (It doesn't make sense to me for some parts) 
The combat design is active time battle but it is a bit clunky for me 
The game is linear with other stuff added on if you some extra replayability
Backstory on Cloud

What I didn't liked?
I don't understand the slot system in the game. It is fun to see the animations but I don't know how it works
The leveling up system also is confusing. I mean you don't grind for EXP but you get level up by using the slots
The combat is not fun after repeating it again and again

Status: Finish the game. I did watch half of it on youtube but that still counts 

Fun Factor: If you love Final Fantasy you should check it out. If not, this game is not for everyone

Death Jr

It's quite hard to emulate a 3D shooter when you only have one analogue stick

Genre: Action
Platform: PSP
Release Date: 2005 

Death Jr. - Gameplay PSP HD 720P (Playstation Portable) - YouTube\

What is it about?
Death Jr needs to save his friends from something evil 

What did I liked?
The gameplay is quite fun. 
You have multiple projectiles to choose form which provide a variety in combat
There are a lot of platforming (when it works) 
Combat is fun 

What I didn't liked?
The PSP lacks a second stick so controlling the camera is hard and cumbersome 
The platforming works like 70% of the time. Most of the time you need to press the button as hard as you can to grab on something
The jumping sucks

Status: Played the game for a couple of hours 

Fun Factor: Not worth the time. Not one of the psp greatest.

Ridge Racer

Ridgeeee Racerrr..... First game I played on my psp 13 years ago



Game no: 192
Genre: Racing
Platform: PSP

Who will like to play this game?
- Those who love arcade style handing and drifting

What will I expect?
- Arcade style racing with courses that are build to drift.
- This game is more capture the leader since we always start at the last place and we have 3 laps to get to first

When does the game get fun?
- Drifting and using the afterburners is always fun. The game difficulty range to moderate to extreme.
- Each car has a unique style of handling and each car has its own customer HUD. Which is cool.

Where does the game feels lacking?
- The game requires precision controls to get the right amount of drift. The cars do get a bit jelly which hamper the driving experience.

How did I rate it?
- Worth to be played at least once. Its a fun game. Multiplayer is a riot. But is hard find people with a PSP nowdays.

Status: Finished the basic tour and

Ape Escape On The Loose

 



Game: Ape Escape On The Loose
Platform: PSP
Genre: Platformer
First 3 Hours: This is basically Ape Escape 1 on the PSX but they remade i for the psp. I can't say the remade does not hold well. The reason is because of the psp one thumbstick configuration. It makes the game a bit unplayable
What I Liked: Ape Escape
What I Didn't Liked: One Thumstick. Camera angle sucks.
Status: Did even past the 3 world due to frustration in the controllers.
Score: 2/5 monkeys

God of War Ghost of Sparta


 




Game no: 12
Genre: Action
Platform: PS3
Developer: SCE Santa Monica

Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment

Game: God of War Ghost of Sparta
Platform: PSP
Genre: Action
First 3 Hours: God of War on the PSP. What's not to like. The psp's limitation is that it only has one thumbstick. So the camera is at a fixed angle. Other than that it plays a like the console version of the game.
What I Liked: Action parts, boss fights
What I Didn't Liked: Camera angles, only a couple of bad guys on screen due to hardware limitation
Status: Yeap, another GOW game finished. Nuff said
Score: 4/5 Medusa's Head
