 The Best Game So Far May 31, 2008
My Dad ordered tis game for me.Let me tell you this is the best RPG game I've ever played. It has really good graphics to.
Great Old School RPG April 23, 2008
This game is really fun. The graphics are excellent, so much detail for each monster. The characters also change a little with new weapons. There are few side missions that are okay. The game is easy once you level up your character but almost any RPG is when your at level 100. I actually stopped playing Crisis Core to start playing this game and I don't regret it at all.
 Good game April 6, 2008
This is the first game I purchased with my new PSP (I love RPGS). I enjoy the turn-based battle system, this is my style. The graphics are great. The battles aren't too hard and then random attacks are great when traveling. However, I hate the forever long cut scenes and all the talking. Now I know RPGs and they have to have these to make the game good, but you can't skip them, you have to sit through them all and the talking. I also have found that the characters talking is getting annoying. For example the special/combined moves are fantastic but do they have to say the same thing everytime. This can be cured by turning down the volume, which I don't want to do. All in all this is a great game and I'm enjoying it, but I'll also be glad when I've beat it. I wouldn't play it a second time just because of the annoying factors mentioned above.
Unique and Fun February 11, 2008
I find this to be a solid 5 star RPG, something that you just don't see too often these days--for any gaming system. I will just run down a list of why I like the game so much:
1) The graphics are fantastic!
2) The story is interesting and never gets dull or boring.
3) The difficulty is just right.
4) The battle system (turn-based).
Brave Story is a very open-ended and engaging game with tons of side-quests. Even so, you are never left clueless as to what to do next to proceed in the story. This means you can take your time and complete everything, or just play it straight through to the end--the choice is yours. If you complete 100% of this game it will likely take you 40 hours, or more. Also, there is lots of replay value as having different characters in your party unlocks different combined abilities (unity skills). The game does require you to level your characters quite often, but that is part of the fun as you are always learning new abilities.
With newly released rpgs running in such short supply, this game is a fantastic welcome to the PSP library of games. I can only hope that more rpgs of this caliber are in the works.
 Not really enjoying the game February 10, 2008
2 out of 7 found this review helpful
Not a bad game however I am finding certain aspects frustrating. For example it does not let you skip cut scene and it often places save points right BEFORE these scenes. So if you hit a difficult boss and keep losing you have to press X over and over to get through the dialogue of the scene before you can try again.
The second thing I don't like about the game might have to due with my lack of experience with RPG's. My first RPG was Jeanee D'Arch which I REALLY enjoyed because you can evaluate the battles and come up with a strategy before you play the battle. This allowed me to get through the whole game only dying twice because I thought out every battle. In this game you don't know the powers, strength, etc of your enemy. You have to select your team before you encounter a battle and know the enemies you will have. Again in Jeanne D'Arch you select your team after you see the battle field. I am finding this annoying because as soon as I enter the battle I know I have the wrong team and I can't do anything about it.
I am also frustrated that in this game as you move a tiny bit on the map you are put into a battle. So if you get a little lost on the map you easily face several annoying battles as you try to find your way back on your trail. I prefer to explore and enter battles when I want to or at least less often then this game puts you into battle. If you stand still thinking as soon as you press a move key you will be in battle. It seems to be based on time rather than movement. If you decide to turn around you will face the same battles you just defeated.
I recommend if you don't have Jeanee D'arch yet buy it before this game.
