The Legend of Heroes: A Tear of Vermillion

Lumines has remained king of the puzzlers; Madden and FIFA are carrying the load for sports fans; and Liberty City Stories has proved to action lovers that old dogs can learn new tricks, but sadly, a launch title by the name of Untold Legends is still solely responsible for all things...

The Legend of Heroes
Strengths: Decent RPG with nice clean visuals for the PSP
Weakness: Starts slow, fails to stand out from the crowd
Legend of Heroes is the first of a trilogy of role playing games (RPGs) for the Sony PSP. While the trilogy improved somewhat with each iteration, the problem with the series is that it does nothing to stand out. This is a fairly typical Japanese RPG with a cliche story and characters. It does have the advantage of non-random encounters (enemies are visible in the overworld so you can avoid them if you want). The combat itself is decent enough but nothing outstanding. The biggest problem with the game is that it is very slow to get started and most of your time early on is bogged down with boring fetch quests. It does get better towards the end but there is quite a bit to slog through to get to that point. Simply put, there are much better alternatives out there for PSP RPGs at this time and unless you are an RPG fanatic that must play every one out there you will probably want to pass on this particular one.
