PSP: One Launch Title to Rule Them All...

**Snailbait** · 03-27-2005, 09:51 PM

Which of the PSP launch titles do you think is the best?

I think it's Ridge Racer. You haven't played PSP 'til you play Ridge Racer. The only problem is the announcer. Sometimes he's helpful, sometimes he's just plain annoying!

Darkstalkers

The game has every single DS fighter, every single ending and intro in the entire series, and a full blown art gallery

It's pretty much the Darkstalkers version of the Streetfighter Anniversery Collection....only I would have liked the backstories included.

Metal Gear Ac!d. Out of the four games I bought, I've spent the most time on this one, but it seems to be either you love it or hate it. I'm probably a minority in this.

**Invader_Spooch** · 03-28-2005, 01:59 AM

Well, overall, I would have to say Lumines.

It's the best puzzle game I've played in QUITE some time. Plus it has awsome music.

Though I'm loving the crap out of Darkstalkers, Metal Gear Acid, and Ape Escape (though Ape Escape is just a guilty pleasure).

Power Rangers Dino Thunder "Thunder Storm Part 2".

Oh, wait, games. I thought we were just saying what we've played the most of.

While I haven't played all the games, Twisted Metal: Head On is a good use of the wireless sitch.

For me it's a tie between Wipeout Pure and Lumines. I've played pretty much every launch title other than the majority of the sports tiles, Dynasty Warriors, Ape Escape, and Spider-Man 2.

But is this coming to america on May 19th or is this Japan Only?

Also I might get Twisted Metal, apparently the God Mode codes of yore are in this version...

Mindless Barreling Destruction

**fuchikoma** · 03-28-2005, 11:48 AM

It hasn't been announced for America yet.

**Killtacular** · 03-28-2005, 11:50 AM

Wipeout Pure is pretty good. It has a lot of well designed tracks and you will be able to download more in a couple of months.

Figured I'd ask in here. If anyone has picked up NFS: UR, I'd love to hear some feedback on how it plays, how robust the garage/mods are, et cetera. And of course, how the city & tracks are.

megazines have pretty much said that NFS, Ridgeracer, and Wipeout are all 3 well rounded racers...

However I wonder if PSP is going to have a GREATEST HITS collection, I'd love to pick up more titles, except that they cost just as much a regular console games...

Thanks, I've been reading the reviews all along. I was just hoping to have an unbiased opinion from anyone here who has played the game.

I played a little bit of it and found it to be pretty bland and boring. Then again im not a big fan of the Underground games to begin with. I prefer Ridge Racer over Rivals for racing with real cars on the PSP, but Wipeout Pure owns both of them as far as racers go.

**guinaevere** · 04-01-2005, 07:35 PM

Well... I um... got a PSP. And a pre-owned copy of Ridge Racer (returned already?!?). ... woot.

This thing is beautiful!!!

**Keiichi** · 04-01-2005, 08:03 PM

Help me out here guys. After much debate I've decided to take the plunge and buy a PSP. But I can't make up my mind to get Darkstalkers or Lumines.

**Chad Bonin** · 04-01-2005, 11:44 PM

I have both.

Darkstalkers is severely hampered by Sony's insistence to use the second crappiest design of a d-pad ever (sure, it's better than the PS2, but it's still crappy), while Lumines is like crack.

Seriously, you see colors, hear music, and are instantly addicted.

**Beat** · 04-02-2005, 01:00 AM

Tried a demo of Darkstalkers. Plays just like that version I got imported on the Saturn all those years ago with that 4MB RAM cart. The D-Pad isn't that big a deal, seeing as all D-Pad's seem to mess with my game a bit. (Joystick forever!)

Lumines is the Sony Tetris.

Lumines is by far the better game. Darkstalkers is fun, but the segmented D-Pad makes combos really hard to pull off. Lumines and WipeOut Pure are the two best launch titles IMO.
