 Rating:  - A glorious RPGPossibly one of the most striking titles available for the PSP, 'Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth' is a fascinating game for the more serious gamer. Not for action fans, this is an immeasurably detailed experience and you have to endure a good hour of cut scenes before getting involved yourself. But the battle system is easy to pick up and there is plenty for the old grey matter to chew over during play. The premise of the game is to reap fallen souls for the on-going battle against the Vanir in Misgard and train them in combat. To do this, you must enter the dungeons and clear them of adversaries, completing tasks as you go. At the end of a chapter, it's a good idea to send an einherjar to Misgard or the battle will begin to turn against ... Read More: Rating: - RPG's as they should beThis game reminded me of the golden era of R.P.G's, that is the 16 bit variants (Chrono Trigger etc), and the P.S.1 (Suikoden 2). Graphically, it surpasses earlier offerings by virtue of great FMV sequences. Being my first game on the PSP, I was frankly astounded that such good graphics could be on such a compact device. But the thing which was to become (for me) a tedious exercise, were the long scenes leading leading up to the death of a mortal (and subsequent creation of an einheriar). When you start, there must be upwards of half an hour of narrative and plot building, which is frankly exhausting. Each and everytiem you 'concentrate' in the world map, and come to one of these death scenes, you are treated to the same drawn out plot, which ... Read More: Rating: - Iffy graphics, absorbing gameAnyone who has played (on the ps2) any of the Final Fantasy (up to VIII) games, will be able to enjoy this. You do need to get to grips with the stern insistence on formality that Square impose on their games, but the effort is well worth it. My only issue is with the graphics- the cut scenes (cinematics) offer stunning images: the actual game play offers tiny child-sized characters and, considering you are supposed to be controling a beautiful Norse valkerie, moving a bunch of pixels a few millemetres high doesn't cut it. Even so, get over the graphic niggles, and enter a world that will make time melt away, Rating:  - "It shall be engraved upon your soul!" (well not quite, but nearly)Although this is another port from the Playstation, any RPG fan who hasn't played it before and now owns a PSP should seriously consider this rather intriguing game. The Valkyries of Norse myth collect the souls of fallen warriors to fight as einherjar at Ragnarok, the battle at the end of the world. In this game Ragnarok is imminent and your principal character is Lenneth, a valkyrie sent to Midguard to find and train einherjar. The game is split into eight chapters and each chapter is split into periods. Every activity uses up a set number of periods so the player is aware that time is ticking. There are three basic activities: *Searching - this allows Lenneth to find events on the world map, usually: Read More: Rating: - Addictive, fun, amazing!After reading review's of this game it was clear to me that people had a mixed view of it, some were bad and some were good, however with my faith in Square Enix i decided to buy the game and wow was i amazed, it has the best storyline that is common with all of their games and the picture, at first not all that great but you soon ignore that due to the involvement in the game. It takes a while getting used to with the battle system and it does explain parts as you progress through the storyline, but it's worth it! |
