Oxigen_Waste Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Besides Syphon Philter, LocoRoco, Portable Ops and possibly Lumines, are there any other games I MUST buy?
That Guy Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I wasn't aware PSP had any other games... Joking. That new Ratchet and Clank game looks good, don't know when that's out.
Domstercool Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Don't know what type of games you like, but I can recommend these: Tekken Daxter Metal Gear Solid:PO Burnout Legends Lumines 1/2 Wipeout Pure Syphon Filter GTA LCS/VCS Ridge Racers 2 Street Fighter Alpha 3 MAX Every Extend Extra Gunpey MGS:Acid 1/2 Me and My Katamari Virtua Tennis: World Tour
fanman Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 MGS:Acid 1/2 I thought Metal Gear Acid was awful.
Domstercool Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I thought Metal Gear Acid was awful. I thought it was a very good strategy game and it doesn't seem I am alone on that either. Alot of places thought it was good too. Especially the second one.
Goron_3 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 erm Burnout legends and Lumines are the only games i really like on PSP. OOooo Street fighter Alpha 3 (I think thats what its called) is awesome.
fanman Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I thought it was a very good strategy game and it doesn't seem I am alone on that either. Alot of places thought it was good too. Especially the second one. I'm not realy into that genre much beyond advance wars anyway, but I thought it was really restrictive and... boring. I guess I was just expecting metal gear solid, which it totally isn't.

I mean with games like Disgaea and Fire Emblem, it's lovely stuff to enjoy.
1UP Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I played MGS:PO at a friends and oh my daaaaaaaaaays... I mean I like MGS but the hand to hadn combat was totally shit plus awkward controls..
HazyUK Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Sega Megadrive Collection is awesome if you're into the 16bit era and the Gradius Collection if you like Shumups. I also like Daxter, Loco Roco and Metal Gear Solid PO (MGS PO is really good but it takes a while to get into it.)
Oxigen_Waste Posted February 8, 2007 Author Posted February 8, 2007 I'm talking about essential games... not "might buys".
HazyUK Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I'm talking about essential games... not "might buys". Well in my books the Sega Megadrive Collection is an essential buy. You get 27 games in one. Sorry for recommending some games to you if you're going to be like that about it. Go read a review site.
Domstercool Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I'm talking about essential games... not "might buys". Essential games still vary for everyone, and also you might not like the so called "essential" games. I also think you miss out on alot of variety if you look at games that way. Oh DJ MAX PORTABLE 2 is out soon, WOO!
ZeldaFreak Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 WTF! is an essential game, or rather collection of games.
The Bard Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I had a PSP and a load of games. Tekken: Dark Resurrection and Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max are the best, although ultimately, the PSP is an incredibly disappointing peice of hardware.
Ant-Shimmin Posted February 9, 2007 Posted February 9, 2007 I can honestly say to you, unless you are getting a PS3 you will not keep that longer then this christmas....

Wich means I can consider it, but it's not absolutely essential. And about the "review site" advice... I did go. To allot of them, actually. Suprisingly they all said the same, as well as fan sites of the hardware itself: Syphon Philter, Portable Ops, Loco Roco, Tekken, Lumines, Wipeout. That's it. That's why I asked here... to get EXTRA info. Oh!!! and HazyUK, I was answering to ALL posts. Not yours in particular. In fact, the megadrive games game tempts me. I can honestly say to you, unless you are getting a PS3 you will not keep that longer then this christmas.... I bought it for 100 euros. You do the math. I can sell it for doule that value.
THE ganondorflol Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Te PSP is more to the point of a 'dvd , mp3, picture' player, and not really a good games machine. The DS is better when it comes to games. That said, look out for GTA, Sonic and some decent football games. I sold my PSP for about 130 pounds, but it was fun while it lasted...
BeerMonkey Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 only worth while game id say is powerstone but i dont know what critics etc think of it. shouldve just saved your money
fanman Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Syphon Philter, Portable Ops, Loco Roco, Tekken, Lumines, Wipeout. That's it. That's why I asked here... to get EXTRA info. I think there's a demo of loco roco on the sony website you can download for free. That's worth trying before you spend however much on it.
Owen Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Essential? Daxter, Tekken, Ratchet and Clank, Virtua Tennis and all the ones you posted in your first post. Domstercools list is spot-on actually...although MGS: Acid was a pain in the ass in my opinion. Lumines is a great game...but i'm not a huge fan of puzzle games, so in my opinion it isn't essential, others would disagree though. The PSP really isn't 'that' bad. It justs a tad expensive for the lack of games on it. If it was £99-99-£129.99 then it's well worth it though.
ZeldaFreak Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Field Commander is supposed to be worth it
Domstercool Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Never played that, but i have to admit I've heard good things about it. I just didn't have spare money when it came out.
Hellfire Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Exit. I've already said this to you though. There aren't many games on PSP that excite me, but Exit does.
