Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? for PSP Reviews by Gamers

So being like many, i am a huge fan of the disgaea series. So once i found out this was coming out i had to check it out.

This time you play as the prinnys doing whatever master etna says.
Its goofy and silly in this wacky adventure.
The story is def something fans will enjoy.

Yes its true, this game is extremely difficult. But is that really so much as a bad thing? Games now and days are entirely too easy and require very little skill because they hold your hand. This game will shoves you out into the middle of traffic and watches you suffer. But it makes beating levels and completing the game all more the rewarding. Also prepare for your hand to hurt a lot thanks to the wonder design of the PsP...

Thats all there is to say about it. Its a charming game.

If your a fan of the series then you will odds are will look past the difficulty in favor of the characters and story.
Altho if you arnt then i honestly suggest you dont pick up this game.
But if your looking for a difficult game to keep you busy then you certainly will find it here.

Question is... Can you be the hero???

If your a fan of Disgaea then you already know what a Prinny is and how awesome they are. To have a game based as playing as one in a platforming button masher is pretty amazing.

Storys pretty cheesy, but it is to be expected really.

Sounds decent. More of Tenpai Sato's work.

Length is dependant on how many 100 times you die, and you most certainly will. (you have 1000 lives) I ended up around 8 hours just on the main story, but there is a bonus story and of course other bonus stages and some DLC stages.

Gameplay is pretty simple. Double jump, stomp, dash, regular slash, air slash. Thats pretty much it.
The jumping mechanics are kinda of annoying in that your jumps do a set arch and it can suck for platforming. To stomp short you need to use the stomp and its a little slow so you have to time boss stomps and moving platforms.
The slashing is pretty fun tho because each slash you have to actually press and it can give you a rush mashing the button ferociously. However, the final boss requires constant mashing and really fast or else you wont be able to beat it in time and your arm will feel it once you finally beat it. (took me 85 mins and 112 lives)
Whenever you defeat a boss you get a nice flash freeze frame slash thats pretty satisfying to see after all your effort put in to getting that final hit.

Pricing is pretty high for this game. 40 bux retail and 4 dollars for each bonus stage through DLC. The game is solid for a prinny fan, but that's askin a little too much. I will say that this is defineately a rent and was a worthy first game rental from gamefly for me.

Overall this game was a prinny decent psp game and better than I expected. Difficult, but it works that way. If it was a little cheaper then I might consider buying it, but it is totally rental worthy dood.
