5.0 out of 5 stars Revamped battle controls and maps + alternate storyline = the ultimate in replayability, Aug 1 2010
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (Video Game)
Quite honestly, this is one of the best games I have ever played on PSP, and one of the top games out of any system. This game is good for both newbies to the genre and people who have already played one of the first two editions of this game. First off, this enhancement offers a brand new perspective to play from, making this game replayable for even people who have bought the first two editions of this game. You can choose between either the male or female perspectives, which (slightly) changes major plot events, but each perspectives offers totally new social links, one of the things that make this game so unique. Basically, the social link is similar to a dating sim game; you increase your affinity with different people untill your able to reap the rewards, however in this game the major reward is a stat boost to the creatures you summon in battle. Oh yeah, and each social link comes complete with its own cutscenes, which are a blast to experience. This enhanced port of the original game doubles the amount of social links available, offering enhanced replay value. The battle system in this game has also been enhanced over the original. You choose which actions you wish to take and fight the enemy, a strategy-rpg. However, this version also allows you to control your teammates actions, something which without proved hazardous in major battles in the original. Overall, this is a great remake of the game, which newcomers and veterans can both enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Persona 3 got even better, Mar 23 2012
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (Video Game)
I own three versions of this game and if I could only have one it would be P3P. There were so many positive changes made to the game which help streamline and enrich the experience.

PROS:
All new female character with new social links and situations. Great for a second playthrough.
Streamlined overworld map. Just move the cursor over the objects/people you want to interact with. No more (extremely slow) running around.
New personas to fuse and collect.
It's portable Persona 3! You can take it anywhere!
Alternate velvet room assistant with new dialogue and voice acting.
New Void Quest challenge with optional boss
Ever-amazing soundtrack
Level grinding seems less tedious on a portable console; it's easy to put in fifteen minutes here and there.
Controllable AI (no more uncontrollable strings of debuffs)
Missing Person quests

CONS:
The anime cut-scenes were removed due to space constraints. The lack of cut-scenes is definitely the biggest con. The voice acting is still in tact (complete with character portraits) but the game is definitely weaker without them.
Fusion Spells are now one time use cards and Armageddon (the most powerful fusion spell) is extremely difficult to obtain.

P3P is definitely the best version of the game though I would recommend FES for a first playthrough as it has the cut-scenes. If you've already played Persona 3 and are thinking of going through again, try the all new female perspective with new social links.

4.0 out of 5 stars Odd/disturbing game, Oct 1 2011
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (Video Game)
This is a fun game, make no mistake about it, but it's also somewhat disturbing. What else can you say about a game that has the characters repeatedly put objects that look like guns to their head? The themes of suicide and self-sacrifice run heavily through this game.

The battle/dungeon crawl is challenging enough that you'll probably die a few times, but not so bad that you should find yourself unable to progress the story. The game strongly rewards you for exploiting your enemies weaknesses, while protecting your own.

The one part of the game that I can't say I enjoyed was the high school phases and the social link building. Like any game 'moral choice system', the good and bad answers sometimes seem completely arbitrary. Choose the answer you thought was friendly, and find out it was delivered sarcastically. Choose the answer you think would be a relatively good natured joke, and it turns out to be a cruel barb.
