  • Grinding gets really repetitive; visuals sometimes feel small on the PSP screen.

  • Abstract:  Nearly a decade ago, tri-Ace's under-the-radar PS1 sci-fi action-role-playing gem Star Ocean: The Second Story hooked me like few RPGs ever have. Its addictive item crafting and unique relationship-sim elements coaxed me into more than 10 total playthr...

  • Abstract:  Star Ocean - First Departure orientiert sich am allerersten Teil einer Serie, die zwar (bislang) nicht so viele Fortsetzungen wie Final Fantasy hervorgebracht hat, aber nichtsdestotrotz eine innige Fangemeinde anspricht. ...

  Published: 2008-11-06, Author: Aggesan , review by: gameplayer.se

  • Abstract:  Vem sa att historia är tråkigt? Nu kan alla ta del av Tri-Aces stjärnfyllda universum (nästan) som det såg ut första gången. Star Ocean: First Departure är en remake av seriens första del, ursprungligen till Su...
