This game sounded great on paper but the story is weak, the characters aren't very well developed and (though it should theoretically have a good replay value) I was more than happy to trade it in after the first play through. from Amazon.com Pros -Good starter for casual gamers -Cool character development from Amazon.com I sincerely enjoyed it! I always give my perspective which is a 42 year old Mom who just got into gaming about 2 years ago. This is the first RPG I bought for my new PSP. This game is outstanding at easing you into gameplay and "tutoring" you in how to play. from Amazon.com Pros: Get to know the characters from the original star ocean to learn a bit more about this universe. Great port, updated and very fun systems just like any other Star Ocean. from Newegg.com I bought a PSP mostly because I was looking forward to playing Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core. I found that game to be a bit of a let down since it was way too linear, i.e. from Amazon.com I have not played any Star Ocean games before this. I began playing this game on the heals of completing Chrono Trigger (DS) and Tales of Phantasia (GBA). from Amazon.com I'm a huge fan of "Star Ocean: The Second Story", so when I heard its predecessor came out, I had to give it a try. The battle system is identical to the Second Story, except for the addition of a 3 attack combo you can perform by pressing the attack button in succession (which is great if you're doing level grinding and want to conserve MP). from Amazon.com I hadn't been able to play an rpg since FFVII without getting bored to tears. Well, I take that back, there have been a few. But none have given me the love to play like Star Ocean. Im not one to play my PSP at the house, its an outing only type of thing for me. from Amazon.com If you played Star ocean second story or the Tales series then this game is for you. This game is a remake of an snes game and it kind of shows but it was remade from scratch for the psp and man is it fun. from Amazon.com First off do not believe negative reviews on GameSpot and others. This game is very good, can be a little slow at times and with backtracking, but what RPG doesn't get that way sometimes? from Amazon.com
