Final Fantasy is one of the most successful franchises in video game history, and their games are routinely applauded for being great.
With the Final Fantasy VII remake being released just last year, we would love to see this game come back to modern consoles. Before the God of War trilogy, Kratos was still serving the gods. This game takes place during his years of servitude and sees him trying to rescue Helios, the Sun God. The other mode is a level editor. LocoRoco 2 has the same exact gameplay as its predecessor. The player must tilt the environment around, maneuvering the LocoRoco until it reaches the end of the level.
However, this sequel comes with some new quirks not found in the first game; the LocoRoco can swim underwater and squeeze through tight spaces, among other abilities. One thing that LocoRoco 2 is known for, much like the original, is its soundtrack. The quirky characters that the player will encounter along the way are pretty notable themselves, as well.
All in all, LocoRoco 2 is a fun little romp that is bound to put a smile on anyone's face. Hammerin' Hero is the eighth entry in the Hammerin' Harry series, and, obviously, there's a lot of hammering involved. The player controls Harry throughout twelve 2-D stages as they bash through everything in sight. The game also comes with multiplayer, as two players can work together to achieve the highest score.
For a fun little romp of an action platformer, Hammerin' Hero packs in a lot of charm. Players can unlock jobs such as baseball player or DJ, and each one comes with its separate costume and ability. Then there are the bosses; the player has to fight against an inflatable dinosaur and a battleship in space, among many others. Hammerin' Hero is as zany as any obscure Japanese video game is expected to be. Prinny, a comic relief character from the Disgaea series, has his own adventure on the PSP.
It's a hard quest on its own, and, due to the game's difficulty , the player gets a whopping lives. Lumines pulls from other popular matching puzzle games like Tetris and Columns , but the game puts a heavy focus on the integration of music into its puzzles through the use of the PSP's headphone jack. Lumines started as a humble experiment, but it's turned into a massive franchise. The Shin Megami Tensei series, more commonly known as Persona , took some time to catch on outside of Japan, but the franchise is now one of Atlus' biggest successes.
The biggest change in the PSP version is that it adds a female protagonist, which opens up so many different opportunities with the games social links and interactions. It also incorporates gameplay features and characters from Persona 4 to help make the sequel better tie into the franchise as a whole.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is another impressive spin-off title in the series that speaks to how handheld platforms are a strong fit for the franchise. Chinatown Wars deals with a struggling Triad member who's trying to solve the mystery of his father's murder, as well as recover a missing family heirloom.
The PSP version supports superior graphics, which ditch the cel-shaded aesthetic, updated mini-games, and a number of extra missions and soundtrack options that are not present in the DS version.
The God of War series has become a staple of Sony consoles, but God of War: Chains of Olympus is proof that the franchise could transition to a handheld platform with little compromise. Chains of Olympus is such a triumph that a remastered version was later released for the PlayStation 3.
