Top PSP Games
Stuck with which games to buy for your PSP? We've sifted through the many titles and come up with three gems you simply should not be without!
.
Wipeout Pulse, the first of our three, is the PSP sequel to the over the top racing game Wipeout Pure. Though this follow up provides no extreme changes to the principles of Wipeout, the same intense racing style has been polished until it positively shines, and comes with online multiplayer options to boot.
In addition to racing tracks from past installments, there are a
total of twelve new tracks. Some innovative and wildly entertaining perks have been added to some races, including inverted strips, anti gravity arenas and sheer drops. The aforementioned multiplayer function allows you to battle it out with your friends locally or challenge others from across the globe!
Next up we have Secret Agent Clank, a spinoff of the main Ratchet & Clank series. We join the fray as it appears old hero Ratchett is stealing a pretty pricey looking gem from the local museum, all witnessed by his trusty friend Clank. From then on the game takes the guise of a James Bond flick, with plenty of bizarre twists and unlikely encounters, as Clank attempts to prove Ratchet's innocence and get to the bottom of what appears to be a much larger scheme.
Mixing a host of characters and gaming styles, ranging from stealth and espionage to outright shoot 'em up, the game could easily take you many hours to complete. This insanely fun outing for the PSP is sure to cure those long bus or train journeys!
Finally, there is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which is pretty much one of those games that speaks for itself. The Final Fantasy franchise is numbered as one of the most successful in the gaming community, with Final Fantasy VII being arguably the best installment. Crisis Core acts as a prequel to the original Playstation game.
Here we meet main protaganist Zack, who those well versed in FF lore will remember from the flashback scenes in the first game. It is through the eyes of rookie Zack that we learn of the events that led up to the main game. As Zack grows in power and experience so too the story deepens and darkens. It's what Square-Enix does best. Not only that, but they have pulled it all off while implementing an action-rpg combat system. Using this system, you can attack, block and evade enemy attacks, and use spells and abilities all by pressing buttons in real time.
The innovative DMW systems added to the combat is also a master stroke. Taking the form of a stylised slot reel, the DMW spins constantly throughout your fights, and aligns periodically to grant mini cut scenes empowering Zack or granting additional attacks. It is this addition that prevents the combat from being dull and repetitive, a mistake Square Enix seems to have corrected since Dirge of Cerberus.
If you're after a deeply involving and ultimately heart wrenching experience, then Crisis Core is the game for you. It combines an immersive story with addictive and fun gameplay, providing an ideal PSP package.
