1UP Preview: Last Ranker – Capcom’s New PSP JRPG

1UP writes: "Every hardcore Japanese gamer knew about The Last Ranker before its release early last month. It had been promoted in playable form for at least a year, hype was high, and finding the game on launch day was difficult for those without a pre-order. For most western gamers, however, Last Ranker is a small blip on a crowded radar, and after playing around with the Japanese release version it's not hard to see why. Last Ranker was designed from top to bottom to appeal to Japanese, male teens- the same demographic that has made the PSP and Capcom's own Monster Hunter series a success in Japan."
