A game i can sink my teeth into on the PSP! Popolocrois is a great RPG, at least so far. It has that all important 'gotta check out one more door, stairwell, (fill in the blank)' factor and seems to be a sweet game. This is why I bought a PSP!
Great level design, graphics, audio, good load times (not like the DS, but good for the PSP). I had traded in Mercury, Lumines, and Wipe Out, so I had no PSP games. but this one's a good find!
A word about the graphics. some pro review sites compared them to 16bit era graphics, and those reviewers evidently ate lead-based paint when they were kids. 16bit graphics were not this detailed, were not 16:9 aspect ratio, and the animations were not this smooth. The antialiasing is spot on, you cannot make out individual pixels. It's an isometric view, though, so maybe that's why the comparison to 16bit RPGs.
Good stuff! An in depth review will come later.
BTW, you'll need the a/c adapter for sure with this one. It's not easy to put down, not at all.
