There was a lot that this game had going for it. The visuals both in game and during the FMV moments are the best I have ever seen from any game system of the size ever, and that does got a long way towards the enjoyment of the game.The deveolpment system has been used in some form or another for so long that a lot of people who play games like the console versions of baldur's gate will have no problem dominating this game. Anyone who is a fan of hack and slash action will enjoy this game.
There are three things that made detract the one star that I did in each category. The first item is that since they push the in-game visuals so far, there is a loading screen, every time you go from map section to map section. You can actually say they went a little bit too far for the psp capabilities. There seems to be less replay value in this title than in the average handheld game.
In short:
Pros:
1. Insanely good visuals.
2. A gameplay system that's very easy to learn.
3. Enjoyable hack and slash action
Cons:
1. The visuals are so good that they push the psp to the point where there is a loading screen every time you go from map section to map section.
2. There replay value is below average.

This was a great game! Many hour of play, great incentinve to collect all of the items and max out your weapons, fun overall. Not a whole hell of a lot of imidiate replay value, but I can see myself playing it again in the future.

I really wanted to beat this game, I am a big fan of this type of action RPG(this game runs the same lines as Secret of mana, zelda, and Alundra), but the insane load times on the PSP make it almost impossible for me to enjoy the game.
I found myself taking less time to walk across the screen than it took to load it(a real annoyance when trying to find something you missed)
the graphics are really good, I loved the cutscenes, and the story was very well written(short but good)
Like I said, just get this one for the PS2 and save yourself some money, and stress from obsurdly long load times
there are plenty of better RPG's to pick up for your PSP
