Phantasy Star Portable 2

FILE SIZE: 812 MB
FILE TYPE: CSO


Phantasy Star Portable 2 is an action role-playing game that boasts fast real-time combat and deep customization options. Its fiendishly large monsters and rich weapon variety are reminiscent of Monster Hunter, but PSP2's gameplay is more approachable. The game struggles with both wonky AI and a lack of mission variety, but the repetitive nature of the missions is less noticeable in multiplayer where even replaying them over and over again with friends can be a lot of fun. This is a challenging adventure that's enjoyable despite some defects. 

The game opens in the Gurhal system three years after the defeat of the invading seed monsters. You're cast as the newest recruit of Little Wing, a mercenary group that pairs you with a young girl in the fight to save the universe. Although the plot uses simple, cliche themes, your sweet, but troubled partner draws you in as you unravel her tragic history. Interesting substories also serve to flesh out the cast, providing witty banter while you explore themes of heartbreak and loss. For example, one mission has you searching for an ally's attacked homeland, while another unveils a sad romance between two party members.

Repetitive missions mar exploration to a degree by recycling objectives and map aesthetics. Missions are divided into several types, with most giving you the task of eliminating all enemies, which grows tedious on easier difficulties. The more compelling missions test your mettle by applying time limits and restricting equipment, while both urgent and tactical missions provide intriguing side quests and a much needed change of pace. Mundane exploration is limited to large, desolate mazes, with few objects providing interactivity. The simplistic puzzles usually involve mind-numbing key collection, but a few other brainteasers--such as traps and tricky teleportation lasers--spruce up the action.
