Classic RPG on PSP

Good game
This game gets a bad rap for its load times, but they're not any different from any other game. A few seconds at most. The over exaggerated reviews that focused on that almost turned me off but I'm glad I made the purchase. Just so you know, when you transition to a new screen it fades to black and "NOW LOADING" appears for a few seconds (only a split second if you already visited that area), and if you're just messing around with the game (which most reviewers seem to do without actually sitting down and trying to enjoy it) then the loading times might seem long. If you think about it though, if all they did was freeze the screen instead of fade to black no one would notice - and indeed you don't notice after settling in.
There is some slowdown, especially when there are a lot of enemies and the camera zooms out, but it doesn't last long and is not too bad.
It's very Zelda like in game-play but with a fairly interesting story (in fact, the beginning will give you deja vu if you ever played Link's Awakening). Music is alright and the graphics are good. A solid choice especially at the price. It's also not tedious to play which is hard to find in RPGs these days. There is a quick save option which is great if you have to suddenly stop playing - something all RPGs should have. As a final point, the anime cut scenes are nice.
