The title says it all: It may have a new traveler as it's main character, but it definitely sports the same old brave story. The good news is, however, once you break the outer layer of Brave Story: New Traveler, you'll be treated to a wonderful RPG experience featuring some of the most solid gameplay PSP owners have been delivered to date.
Neocrisis: The Brave becomes a traveler, but is the Travel worth your time?

"Brave Story: New Traveler is easily one of the prettiest games on the PSP. That alone would be reason to take a chance on it, but it also happens to be a well thought out take on the fantasy RPG cliche. Interesting characters, smooth battle sequences and a rich story make it one of the PSP's most-own RPGs."
Gamers Universe writes: "For a fleeting ten minutes I thought Brave Story: New Traveler was more than the mere capable retelling of an old tale it would eventually prove to be. I was introduced to the protagonist, Tatsuya, in all his soft-focus dimpled glory. Then came the provocative development: Tatsuya too busy playing his PSP to attend to the needs of his girlfriend, the lovely Miki. The crunch: Miki mysteriously hospitalised while Tatsuya, oblivious, tries for that elusive high score. Moral of the story evident. Mortification the order of the day. Daily Mail rage-o-meter rising. What to ensue?"
