Phantasy Star Portable: Started

04/20 '09

After playing the Japanese demo and then trying out the Japanese full version, I was semi-excited for the U.S. release of Phantasy Star Portable. I’m a few hours into the U.S. game now and I’m really starting to like it. So much so that I booted up PSU on the 360 to give it another shot as well – I hated this game because of the extreme difference from PSO, the timed ranked missions, and the ridiculous photon depletion for guns.

I’m still trying to get used to the whole gun photon system, the over convoluted process of easily equipping armor/units (when compared to PSO), and the absence of Mags, but I think my PSP will still get some good use out of PS:P for a long time to come.
