5 Stars Addictive as hell
Probably one of the best games I’ve played in years. The PSP version of Disgaea features everything that made the original so amazing, plus plenty of bonus features not found anywhere else. (At least, anywhere other than the DS version, but more on that in a bit)
As for getting your bang out of your buck, i’m not sure you’ll ever find a better deal. Disgaea on PSP has enough content to easily last you hundreds of hours of gameplay. It might be a bit repetitive to some, but for fans of strategy RPGs, this game is worth every penny!
Last, I’d go so far as to say this is the best version of Disgaea available. While it doesn’t have the playable Plenair character found on the DS version, it does have everything else. In addition, it also looks and sounds a hell of a lot better than it does on DS. (Not to sound like a Sony fanboy, but i’ve tried it on DS. The game does not look good, and the audio grates on my ears) That said, you’re getting the best in video and sound as well as getting the vast majority of extra content available in any Disgaea (1) version.
4 Stars Refreshingly Funny Epic Adventure
Disgaea has a humor that caught me off guard and that personally I find a bit refreshing. Game play is turn based strategy and is very well done. Perhaps it is my lack of skill in this game style, but I have found that a fair amount of level/skill grinding is essential, which leads to relatively decent time gaps between story sequences. Overall a great story, great humor, good game play, decently challenging, and did I mention long? I’d recommend this game to everybody.
5 Stars The best waste of time, now in the palm of your hand!
I love this game, all the way back to when I first played it on the PS2. I’m glad that for the port, new content was added, such as Etna mode, more levels, and multi-player trading and combat via WLAN.
Good game ported to handheld = Good
Good game ported to handheld with new content = Better
5 Stars Amazing
This game was very good, as was the series in a whole. the only thing i got a problem, with was the weapons system, the old one was better! XD
5 Stars Disgaea Upgraded
great like the original with a more features, love the fact that I can fight other players.
Dynasty Warriors takes players back in time when chaos ruled Ancient China. Equipped with powerful weapons and their strategic wits, they must fight their way through grand battlefields populated with enemy hordes. Strategy and war form a complex relationship where you battle through vast lands and against impossible odds. A full roster of 42 generals and commandants are there for you to choose and to oppose.
3 Stars Good game, but save your money…
I played this game a lot when the PSP first came out. And admittedly, it provided me with hours of enjoyment, and it seemed like a fresh take on the Dynasty Warriors gameplay — albeit the fresh take, visually separating tactics from strategy, was implemented in part to address some of the constraints of the portable platform.
However, the PSP has matured a bit since this game has been released, and there are now other games available (notably Warriors Orochi) that take the elements that made this game fun and take them to the next level.
So if you’re looking for a Dynasty Warriors game for the PSP, try some of the newer ones first. Then, once you’ve exhausted them, either come back to this one or wait for a newer one still.
3 Stars Trying
As a fan of the Dynasty and Samurai Warrior series, picking this game up when I got a psp was a no brainer. The graphics are pretty good and basically on par with the playstation 2. There are times of slowdown however that can be frustrating. What makes this game different from the ps2 version is the way the battlefield is broken up into a number of strategic squares. I think this does serve well for having a short series of mini battles that someone who wants to play a quick game on the go. For me, I didn’t really care for this style. I found it took away more from the game than it added. The game itself can be a bit repetitive, unless you really love fighting wave after wave of basically the same enemies just to unlock a new bodyguard here and there. This is a decent entry in the series, but it is far from being one of the better tries by Koei.
5 Stars Dynasty Warriors for PSP
This game is action packed and lots of fun to play.
What makes it different from the other DW games, is that you can choose your location and have 1-4 body guards.
3 Stars Pretty good game
This game isn’t as fun as the console’s but if you want to play dynasty warriors on the go than this is the best choice. Its ok but its got a different style of gameplay than the console versions. You go into these things called liberation battles, and just travel around a map going to liberation battles, taking over a area, until you occupy the whole thing than you just go onto the next big map and do it again.
I liked this game because the dynasty warriors series is my favorite series of game for the ps2 and I always thought of how awesome it would be to be able to take it on the go with me practically anywhere i was. Well i got a psp for christmas and this game was my first buy. I dont really regret buying in because i got it for about $13.00 which is around hwo much I think its worth. $15-17 at most would be what I think about this games worth. So my final words are if you can find this game for under $20 and you love the console games than buy this.
3 Stars Dynasty Warriors for PSP is not as good as console Dynasty Warriors.
Simply put, this Dynasty Warriors game for the PSP is not as fun as the other games for the PS2 and the Xbox. It is just a little too different than the original. It is a good substitute when one can not play it, such as on the road, but not very good if the original can be played. The originals are always better.
