Psp Action Games History

Square Enix FINALLY makes a new Parasite Eve game. This is really more of a 3rd person shooter than an RPG. Lotsa customization to be done (aside from normal leveling you have nice and time consuming DNA modification system based on chips aquired from enemies). Game seems short at first glance but if you want to unlock everything (mainly SHITLOADS of guns and Aya's clothes- you can even get FFXIII Lighting outfit), prepare for multiple playthroughs at the higher rage inducing difficulties.
Be aware that story is cringe worthy and the the main twist basically ruined the series. And for all perverts out there, Aya's outfit can be almost ENTIRELY (but don't even think about seeing bewbs or vagoo) destroyed during battle.
Ace Combat X: Skies of Deception Flight / Combat Fucking epic dogfighting. This game is short. One-sitting short. "Wait, that's IT?" short, but requires at least three playthroughs to hit every available mission. Since every /v/irgin's penis gets hard for AC, I don't even need to talk about it any more.
Ace Combat X2: Joint Assault Flight / Combat Fucking epic dogfighting 2. Now a bit more focused on multiplayer with CO-OPAN MISSIONS which is awesome. A lot more refined and more realistic controls, the planes actually feel quite different. All the planes can be tuned with parts you can buy. Missile and AA gun accuracy is more realistic, get those dodging skills ready! Customizable secondary and primary weapons, customizable looks for the planes. Be prepared to fight lots of huge full wing flying forts. Personally I liked the story on the first one, but the controls are a bit better in this one. Both games have a permanent place on my PSP.
Adventures to Go! RPG / Roguelike Mixes stuff from classics for a solid RPG. Battles resemble Dragon Quarter (but tiles vs free-flow), magic is combined Light Crusader style, dungeons are random (but you'll influence what's found), and character interactions are amusing. You play as Finn the FABULOUS Fantastic, a greedy badass seeking quick cash at a local adventure agency, which may be out to kill him for his insurance money.
The initial price may have been off-putting for some, but it's now roughly $15 (100 kr). A pretty good deal.
Ape Escape: On The Loose! 3D Platformer A pretty good port/remix of the PS1 classic platformer. The controls have been remixed and usually work better. The voices are different, but not bad, since everyone sounds their age now. The music and graphics have also been touched up a bit. Overall good stuff, especially to kill some time and can be a good challenge for gaming beginners. Incredibly cheap now, making it good for nostalgia, a present, or even if you missed it the first time around.
Armored Core Formula Front Sim Build giant robots, shit blows up. If you ever played an AC game, you know what to expect: nice graphics, almost too much customization.
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II Fighter Wonderful port of the most awesome fighter of last year, all the effects are still in check, with the exception of the sprite resolution. Wonderful game to practice your combos on the go if you have the 360/PS3 version.
There's a newer version, but it was released in JP only.
Burnout Legends/Dominator Racing Looks fantastic and moves at a very respectable FPS, invoking a very good sense of speed. I play it even more than the PS2 version.
Brave Story: New Traveler RPG A pretty and full-bodied RPG entry in the Brave Story series. It's also surprisingly small, file size-wise. Unfortunately, due to licensing issues, it had to be taken off PSN. What a crock of bullshit.
Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles Platformer A fully 3D remake of the formerly PC Engine exclusive classic. If you love whipping skeletons, this is your game. Also, you can unlock the original Rondo of Blood and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Not as hard as the NES Castlevanias, but still fairly hard (unless you use Maria, you babby).
Class of Heroes RPG A FPS-style JRPG very similar to Wizardry based around STRATEGY. So think ahead before your ass gets ashed. The meek-willed and meek-brained need not apply. Like old school dungeon crawlers, dungeons are full of traps, loot, and hordes of monsters. There's also a number of side-quests, and helpful shit like alchemy and party-based attacks. If you like these sorts of games and are looking for a fair challenge, you'll love this. Gets notably easier after gaining a few levels, provided your party setup doesn't suck. Note: Has sequels, but they're currently JAPAN ONLY. For more info and help, you know where to go.
Coded Arms 1 & 2 FPS A futuristic FPS. Not the best FPS, but the PSP doesn't have many of them. Plus, it has Wifi support, and deathmatching is undeniably fun.
Crimson Gem Saga RPG An old school (think SNES era) JRPG with the typical Attack-Skill-Item-Run battle system. Simple, fun gameplay with fantastic looking character sprites and decent voice acting. Tends to go for fairly cheap as well. Also on iPhone, if you so desire to play it that way.
Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII RPG An action-RPG prequel to Final Fantasy VII. Features some of the best graphics and cutscenes on the PSP. Mixes real time combat with a “slot machine” for overdrives, summons and leveling. The game also has ~300 side-missions to play from any savepoint, making it perfect for playing in short bursts. The game has far more depth than it would appear from the main story alone. Be ready to cry like a pussy during ending. Leveling may appear to be random chance, but there is a hidden EXP counter which determines leveling.
Also features a “hard” mode, which is genuinely fucking hard. Do not take lightly.
Crush Puzzle A very unique puzzler where you 'crush' your world from 3D to 2D and vice versa to navigate and remove obstacles. Pretty good replay value, since some of those trophies take some serious brain-busting. Was recently remixed and the story was made cheerier on 3DS as Crush 3D.
Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower Fighting A port of Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service (Japan-only game for the Dreamcast), which allows the player to choose a fighting style based on all previous Darkstalkers arcade titles. Includes unlockable endings from the previous games, beautiful sprite-work, and supports multiplayer via WiFi. If you've never played a Darkstalkers game before, this one is worth looking into. This game actually released a week before the PSP in North America.
Darius Burst Shoot 'em Up Taito's mecha fish shooting series makes a return on the PSP, a perfect fit for it since the resolution emulates the widescreen arcade setup of old rather nicely. With 3 different game modes, 3 different Silver Hawks to choose from and a sizeable gallery of unlockables, there is still lots to do here in spite of only having half the number of stages compared to usual. There has since been a proper arcade release reusing the aforementioned setup, but good luck finding that unless you live in grorious nippon.
Daxter Platformer You play Daxter, the sidekick from the Jak and Daxter series, working as an exterminator. Better than it sounds. Beautiful graphics, good old platforming, and amusing minigames that parody movies.
Dead Head Fred Action-Adventure You're a PI who lost his head getting too close to a big scoop, literally. Now you need to get your real head back (as a zombie!), but in the mean time, you bloodily rip off other zombies and monsters heads, using their powers as your own. Fun Fact: Fred's voiced by Dr. Cox from Scrubs, so think about that when your playing, and shit'll be awesome, yo.
Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness SRPG Astoundingly addictive turn-based tactics gameplay. Exclusive extras include Etna mode and ad-hoc multiplayer. Despite what you may hear, you only REALLY need to grind in post-game, as it makes the main story stages seem laughably easy in comparison. One of the best ports/remixes that this has gotten, and it's gotten a shit load of them.
Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days SRPG Plot isn't completely related to the first so you can easily pick up. Graphics are smooth and nice. Enjoy grindan all those 9,999 levels and reincarnating 90 times all over again, this time with new guys. As an added bonus if you have Disgaea 1 save data on your stick, you get an exclusive loli ronin. Highly Recommended. Has some extra DLC stuff too.
Dissidia 012: Duodecim Final Fantasy Fighting / RPG The sequel/prequel of Dissidia: Final Fantasy. Comes with a shitload of new content. New characters, new story, new moves, improved battle mechanics, new music, new... lots of things. Also comes with the entire story from the first game, so no need to play the first one. Prepare for some extreme grinding post-game, though. Did I mention EXTREME grinding?
DJMAX Portable 1, 2, Clazziquai Edition, Black Square, Fever, Hot Tunes & 3 Rhythm A shameless Beatmania clone you-are-the-DJ-hit-the-keys game that's got the goods. Addictive music, nice background videos, and that same ol' rhythm gameplay. All have songs ranging from easy to insanely hard. Clazziquai is easiest (it was built for music game beginners) and Black Square (built for series/genre veterans), Portable 1 and Portable 2 all offer challenge in some way. Fever and Hot Tunes are west-oriented versions featuring a mixed songlist from both Portable 1 and 2. Fever actually saw a (limited) physical run in the US. Black Square and Fever have a "feature" called autocorrect, which means that pressing the wrong button at the right time doesn't break your combo (but results in a small score penalty) which can't be turned off. Also, don't even bother with DJMAX Portable 3. It has a lousy song selection with both Technika songs and remastered classics, no 8 buttons mode (shut up and change your difficulty to hard mode, 8b is still not there) and the new mode featured, called Remix, suck balls pretty hard breathes new life into old, overplayed songs. Plus, to unlock everything you have to grind like this was a NIS game, which I don't see why would be fun you are missing the point of rhythm games.
tl;dr, get Portable 1 Clazziquai if you're a beginner, Black Square if you're already big into music games, and go from there. (Clazziquai is actually based on a Korean band of the same name; many of their songs are featured on that version.)
Holy shit, I fucking hate you people.
Echochrome Puzzle A highly conceptual puzzler that has you changing the camera's perspective to modify the environment for armatures to escape. The sequel, Echoshift, has you messing around with time to solve puzzles.
Every Extend Extra Shoot 'em Up A shoot 'em up in which your only method of defense is to blow yourself up in a strategic area, trying to take as many with you as possible.
The Eye of Judgment Legends CCG (Collectable Card Game) A portable version of the PS3 game, now without camera usage, but with an added story mode and booster packs you don't have to pay for. Now you can DRAW CARD and MANA CHARGE on the go (or a UMD-using PSP).
Exit Platformer Some like it, some hate it. A very stylish game, where you play an 'escapologist' and help people escape from dangerous buildings. The slow walking and ungainly running may put people off, but it's really like a game of Lemmings, except that you're one of the lemmings it's basically Abe's Exoddus/Odyssey . All of this is done in a sort of cel-shaded, cartoony style.
The sequel, Exit 2 (Kangaeru Exit) was not available on the PSP in North America, but is downloadable on Xbox Live Arcade.
Fate/EXTRA RPG Text heavy, but well translated. Choose one of three different servants (Saber, Archer, or Caster), and let the adventure unfold as you try to piece together your forgotten past. The game can get a little repetitive in terms of the pacing, which holds it back from reaching its full potential, but is still a decent experience if you have the patience.
Final Fantasy RPG A port of the very first Final Fantasy, one of two ports on the PSP that was released in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series. Combines the art, FMVs, and music of the original PlayStation version, with the scripts of the Gameboy Advance version, along with new dungeons, new bosses, and fancy Gen-7 graphics. The character sprites look all RPG maker, but some of the spell effect animations and monster art are ballin' yo.
Final Fantasy II RPG The second of the two ports that were released for the PSP in celebration of the Final Fantasy 20th Anniversary, this one being Final Fantasy II. Features an additional dungeon not seen in the GBA remix, which also added a few new dungeons of its own (also on here). Not as widely-liked as the first, but has it's fans. Still, you might want to look at some videos and FAQs to see if you might enjoy it.
Final Fantasy III RPG The Third one. Unlike rest of the PSP releases, this one is based on the DS remake with super deformed 3D models.
Final Fantasy IV: The Complete Collection RPG Follows suit like FF 1 and 2, but looks a bit better. Also, it's based on the GBA version (meaning newer translations, extra dungeon, and customizable end-game party), but with revamped graphics, a choice of SNES or DS music, and auto-battle. Also has the sequel "The After Years" (now slightly updated) and a new "Interlude" chapter which bridges the two games.
You COULD just get FFIV on the GBA, or its 3D remake on the DS. But since this version adds a little more to the story (being a good or bad thing), which version you decide to go with is really just a matter of preference.
Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions SRPG Ported from the PSX Final Fantasy Tactics game. The stretched widescreen, slower animations and rewritten dialogue (Fixes many of the mistakes of the original game, but is in some sort of verbose theatrical English.) seem to bother those who've played the original more, but this version also have a slightly expended story, 2 new secret characters, a secret new job and a 2-player co-op and VS modes. On the downside, the UMD version has some lag issues. For those who don't care, it's a deep, complex SRPG and one of the best FF spinoffs ever.
A patch has been released that fixes the slowdown/lag issues. There is also a patch that 'unstretches' the aspect ratio, resulting in sharper and cleaner visuals. CFW is required! Patch here Installation instructions here
Fired Up Combat Almost shockingly fun car combat. However, it's especially notable that the filesize is quite small.
Gachitora!: Abarenbou Kyoushi in High School Being a Badass / Beat 'em Up Imagine GTO+Yakuza. After saving an idol from jumping off the local high school roof, through your very convincing "persuasion" skills, you get hired by the principal to work as a teacher. It's your job as a teacher to help all the students with their problems. You do this by "persuading" them while having a "battle of the minds", that plays out like a standard beat 'em up boss battle. Of course you just don't help students with their teenage troubles, you also get to beat up various delinquents and other scum.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex FPS Fairly standard FPS, with most of the usual drawbacks of being on the PSP. Its most exceptional feature is that you get a customizable partner: A Tachikoma!
Gitaroo Man Lives! Rhythm A quirky music game ported from the PS2. Has all original music, representing a wide variety of genres. You fight demons, aliens, and giant robots with the power of rock. Protip: The new Duet songs can be played even without a partner. With a name like "Gitaroo" you might think this is all J-pop and Japanese radio rock, but you would be wrong. Oh, so wrong.
Gods Eater Burst RPG The Enhanced North American re-do of God Eater. A decent knockoff of the Monster Hunter series, though probably not as memorable. You get a sweet transforming gun-sword thing, though. The plot is fairly typical anime post-apocolyptic bullshit, though.
God of War: Chains of Olympus Action-Adventure God of War on the PSP, complete with everyone's favorite button-mashing, quick-time-eventing, gory bald albino Spartan. The graphics are amazing and it has the feel of a full God of War title. Protip: This game was the first to use the full 333MHz of the PSP's processor, in order to render the HELLA SWEET GRAFIX (gobbles the battery power, though).
God of War: Ghost of Sparta Action-Adventure The second God of War title to be released on the PSP. Picks up where the original God of War for the PS2 left off, and tells the story of Kratos' rise to power as the God of War himself.
Gradius Collection Shoot 'em Up SHOOT THE CORE! SHOOT THE CORE! SHOOT THE CORE! SHOOT THE CORE! SHOOT THE CORE! SHOOT THE CORE! SHOOT THE CORE! Contains the arcade versions of 1-4. Plus Gradius Gaiden (often considered the BEST Gradius ever.) Note: The Konami Code variant on the PSP (no B or A) is: Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, L, R.
Gran Turismo Racing It's Gran Turismo, in portable format. Perfect for short intervals of gameplay, yet it still features all the content you'd expect from a major release it lacks a simulation mode, which means NO CAR CUSTOMIZATION. The graphics are top notch as always, and the formula hasn't changed a bit. It'll keep you entertained while you wait for GT5.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars Action-Adventure A port of the DS game. Awesome top view just like in GTA 1 and 2.
Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories Action-Adventure / TPS It's GTA3 on the go with an all-new story. What's not to like?
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories Action-Adventure / TPS In this game you play as Victor Vance, BAD ASS SUPAFLY MUHFUGGA and brother of Lance Vance. FUCK SHIT UP YO! Be sure to set the CPU clock speed to 333 if you're running CFW to maximize your fps, and Vice City Stories Cheat Engine for some crazy shit. (Flying cars, driving on walls, and more)
Gripshift Racing Fucking addictive. "Zany" tracks, awesome air control, and outlandish physics make this the most fun racing game/platformer I've ever played.
Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus Fighting The latest update to the GGXX series. Warning, it has a TON of voiced lines for the story mode, so if you want a smaller filesize, go for the older XX. (screen is a little cropped, compared to Wii/PS2 version)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Battle Universe Mech / Shooter Final entry in the Japan-only Gundam Battle series. If you're a UC Gundam fan, you absolutely have to play this. Fucking addictive gameplay, and has literally every mech from every UC series and movie. Gain skill points after completing missions to enhance your mech. Nothing fancy, but it's serviceable. Unlike other Gundam games, this one plays fast. Fuck walking around like a tool, you're going to be buzzing around like a god damned hornet. Mech models look great.Sadly, Universe is only in moonrunes, but one of its predecessors, Gundam Battle Royale (which is the same game with less content) is almost entirely in English. The first game, Battle Tactics, is also in English, but plays more like the shitty PS2 games. Has a sequel titled Gundam Assault Survive but is generally considered worse than this one.
Gundam vs Gundam Next Plus Fighting The latest game of the Gundam vs series, and one of the best ones yet. Has a few extras compared to the arcade version like new mechs, more arcade routes, a mission mode, and more Mobile Armor giant bosses. 4 player ad-hoc is possible. Game is Japan only, but not needed to understand the game. Has sequels on the PS3, Gundam Extreme Vs. and Gundam Extreme Vs. Full boost(Arcade only for now, PS3 port coming soon.) Since PS3 is region free, get Extreme Vs. Instead of this one if you don't have it already.
Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure RPG A charming 3D platformer-RPG ported over from the Japanese-only PC version. It plays close to a modern Ys game (3D Zelda-like with more asskicking and less exploring and gadgets). Lacks some of the extras PC got via patches though. Oh well.
Hakuoki: Demon of the Fleeting Blossom Visual Novel / Romance A Samurai Romance aimed at women, but don't let that stop you. Takes place at the end of the Edo period of Japan, and while it is a visual novel romance based on the perspective of a female character, it is essentially a war story that includes memorable characters and a captivating plot. Features Japanese voice acting and multiple endings. Definitely a unique title for North American audiences. Adapted into a two-seasons anime and two different manga series. Two movies are also scheduled to be released in 2013. The anime series has been licensed by Sentai Filmworks in North America, but there's several complete fansubs floating around the internet, if you prefer the original voice acting.
Half-Minute Hero Other A combination of RTS, action RPG, and shoot 'em up(not at the same time though), all with a unique 8-bit art style and built for quick, addictive play. Epic music and witty parody. Sequel coming never. Hope for a patch.
Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law Adventure It's actually made by Capcom, and plays exactly like Phoenix Wright. It's fully animated, and looks just like the show.
Hexyz Force RPG Sting takes some elements from Riviera and Evolution to make a surprisingly solid RPG. It actually has TWO pretty different stories (using the same battle system), yet they cross over every so often. Amazingly, there is a Scale that determines your ending, and is tipped to one side by both your decisions AND how you act in battle. Definitely worth a shot if you don't mind something different or are a fan of the two mentioned games above.
Higurashi Daybreak: Portable Fighting Port of the PC doujin game. Supports awesome 4 player ad-hoc action. Only available in Japan.
Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee 1 & 2 Sports A simple, fun golf game. Easy to pick up and strangely addictive.
Initial D: Street Stage Racing Port of arcade DORFITO racing game, Initial D Arcade Stage 3. Good graphics, nice music, SPEEDY SPEED BOY!
Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier Action-Adventure / Platform A sequel to Jak 3. Gameplay is like a mix of 1 and 3. There's also a (proper) flight aspect to the game. Some like it, some hate it. It's a solid game, though. If you're on the fence, try the demo.
Jeanne D'Arc SRPG An SRPG version of the story of Joan of Arc, with plenty of anime-style fantasy and voice-acted cutscenes to boot. With good-looking, fully 3D graphics, it's a quality title. Watch out for ZE ACCENTS.
Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble Being a Badass / Beat 'em Up You are a student in a school trip. You are also a badass who desires to go around kicking the asses of other badasses because you wanna be the ULTIMATE BADASS! Or you can sleep in all week. Takes some elements from God Hand and River City Ransom, which also kickass. Has 3 sequels (and 2 inferior prequels), but none of them have been announced for localization.
Killzone Liberation Action-Adventure Ditches the frail FPS gameplay for fucking awesome isometric shootouts. Happens to look great as well.
Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep Action RPG The earliest game in the KH timeline, no prior knowledge required story-wise. Choose from 3 characters to play - averaging about 6 hours per character, per play through, plus a final chapter. Great combat mechanics with a ‘command melding’ feature similar to ‘material fusion’ in FF7 Crisis Core to create new abilities. Noted for having much more focus on Disney and far less on DARKNESS and Org XIII. Also has THIS GUY and may be worth playing just for him. One of the best made and polished PSP games available. Note: If your PSP has CFW, there's an english patch for the Final Mix version. New keyblades, d-links and, if you're willing to sacrifice battery, higher-quality textures.
