IQ Mania
Better than I was expecting, except I don't read Japanese, but that's ok nobody is perfect.

Review for fans of U.S. I.Q release.
Intelligent Qube (NTSC-U/C, PS1)
I.Q Mania (NTSC-J, PSP)
Just a quick comparison if anyone's interested.
The PSP game retains all the original music tracks from the PS1 game, *and* includes lots of new tracks that seem to have been from the same recording session! Some really great numbers in here, for sure. Adds to it nicely! Fits right in.
The PSP game has a different voice actor making the calls. Initially this may irk some purists who wish the PS1 voice actor had been used, but he does the job just fine. Getting over the set number of moves has him call out, "Great!" Getting the exact amount of moves brings, "Perrrrrfect!" And getting less than the move number has him say, "Excellent!" Kinda cool after a while, actually.
The PSP game has some nice options. You can adjust both the music and SFX volume, you can change the control scheme to the PS1 version's scheme if you like, and (I think is way cool) you can turn off the indicator mark without speeding up the cube march!
Lastly, this PSP edition's "Normal" mode is slower than the '0' default setting of difficulty for the PS1 release, which makes it a little more accessible to those who aren't experts... like me.
If you're a fan of the rare first and only release of I.Q in the United States and you own a PSP, you can't go wrong here. This one's a keeper. I can't wait to share this with a son of my own one day!
