Gamer 2.0 Preview: Lunar: Silver Star Harmony (PSP)

Gamer 2.0 writes: "Following quite a few other remakes of PS1 RPGs, XSeed Games has taken on the task of bringing Lunar: Silver Star Story to the PSP with redone voice acting, music, and visuals. Lunar: Silver Star Harmony attempts to combat the intense nostalgia that many players had for the original version while also offering a chance for new players to experience one of the more popular RPGs from the PlayStation generation. We got our hands on the recent demo to see if Lunar: Silver Star Harmony is an RPG that PSP owners should keep an eye on when it is released in a few weeks."

RPGFan's Top 20 PSP RPGs

RPGFan - "Over the years, those of us who love RPGs have spent a lot of time with Sony's consoles. The PlayStation 2, for example, was the undeniable king of home consoles for RPGFans of its time. However, when it comes to handhelds, the PlayStation Portable faced an uphill climb from the day it was released. In Japan, it came on the scene just 10 days after Nintendo's DS, but the gap was three months longer in the US. And although both consoles had great features, the DS went on to outsell the PSP two to one."

Jeanne D'Arc 19? Star ocean 2 20? WTF worst top 20 ever.

Yea the games on the list are good but the order is iffy in some parts. Not a terrible list though.

CLOUD19833843d ago

To be honest I was expected something better from RPGFan & disappointed very hard at the end.. for example Crisis Core on No3 is outrageous & completely ridiculous choice... & then we have Kingdom Hearts which I can't even call rpg on No8.. tragic nothing else to say many other wrong selection no reason to mention them all & it's pointless this list is simply teribad, at least they put Trails in the Sky high enough this I'm sure is something most ppl agree with.

Weird list... Some games just shouldn't be on there, like (I might grilled for this, but) Star Ocean 2, and Lunar. Those games are seriously overrated by the rpg community.

Tales of Eternia and Breath of Fire 3, although ports, should really be on there. And what about Dissidia? It's got a ton of rpg elements to it, and certainly takes as long as any rpg to fully complete.

Also I never played Trails in the Sky, but that girl looks EXACTLY like Kid from Chrono Cross.

Let us Cling Together cannot touch FFT. Besides that, it's all games I wish I played

PSP is/was an RPG powerhouse. O_O

Zichu4034d ago

I have quite a list of games I want to get for the PSP, I think this site mentioned the ones I haven't played yet.

I kind of missed out on a lot of amazing games for the PSP. A lot of them are available on the PSN which I definitely need to go and get, they are quite cheap now. I just want to get a Vita first, this way I will have quite a lot of space to put them all on :D

Protagonist4034d ago

Get a PS Vita and then get Persona 3 Portable.

The "bester" rpg ;o)
