PSP Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade review:2 stars (A Review By Sam Taylor: RIT) - Untold Legends was the first game I ever played for the Sony PSP, and frankly, it didn't make for a good first impression. Being an adventure game, I expected a deep, intriguing story line with many interesting characters and a really sinister bad guy. Unfortunately, what I got did not satisfy my craving for a juicy handheld adventure.

U.L starts off letting you choose 1 of 4 characters, a feminine Alchemist, a wild looking Berserker, a well-armored Knight, and a hippie like Druid. Each one specializes in one certain category. Then you distribute a few points among 4 categories. Next you wind up in an inn and fight your first battles. As you progress through the game you are challenged with various simple and straightforward quests, level up, acquire new skills, and find and sell weapons.

Gameplay is very straightforward and boring. Quests are tasteless and uneventful. They usually involve you just running from point A to point B on a mission of "great importance" while fighting legends of bland and basic enemies. Boss battles are nothing special. You can usually kill them in the same time it takes you to kill a few small enemies, and the bosses don't even seem like they should be bosses. They're not big bad bruisers or those enemies you can't help to think are cool. (I.e: Sephiroth: Kingdom Hearts) After you complete a quest you usually get a special piece of equipment that you either already have or is worse than what you have on. To me, there was no real motivation to complete quests. There was no awesome, all-powerful weapon to earn or any secret character to unlock, or even any big mystery to solve. You're basically finishing the game so you can say you did. That might be enough for some gamers, but I prefer to get something out of the games I play.

This aside, the technical aspects of this game are solid. Graphics and character design are done well, and the level design and weapons are very detailed. The only problem I see from a technical standpoint is frequent loading. Every time you enter a new area, you sit through roughly a 15-second load. It becomes very annoying when you accidentally go into wrong areas and have to wait. This isn't something that would totally kill a game, but it is an inconvenience.

I wouldn't strongly suggest this game, more cons than pros I think. I think we are going to have to wait a little for the PSP to produce some strong RPG's because this one doesn't cut it for me.






3 stars (untold is the story of this game ) - Repetitive repetitive repetitive, but what can i say it is a good title for the PSP and won a place in my videogame lirary, I love rpgs and this is a fine game to get. I didn't like the graphics and the sound,but it is kind of fun but it gets BORING (spell it right) after a while, but you get new weapons and armor which is cool with over 20 hours of gameplay this is one you will like to take with you on long journeys.4 stars (Great fun for a while but gets boaring later!) - I've had this game for about three months. It's extremely fun for about the first two months and it's very long so it's not to easy. The best handheld rpg ever but the one con is that after about two months it gets kind of boaring.
