Jeanne d'Arc (PlayStation Portable)

Fast Shipping and Product was delivered as stated. I bought a UMD PSP game and was able to get it at a great price that was much cheaper than what was in stores. Great experience shopping with this user and will do so again in the future.

I am the first to admit that strategy RPGs are not my thing, but I heard so many glowing reviews about this game that I had to take a chance. Thankfully, the game far exceeded the expectations I set, and made me a huge fan of developer Level 5. Succeeding in making a SRPG accessible to a person such as myself is a pretty big accomplishment. The menu system makes complete sense, the characters are likable and the art direction is very appealing, especially considering the level of detail jammed onto a PSP UMD. I loved Professor Layton on the DS, and Jeanne d'Arc is even more enjoyable. Level 5 has opened my eyes to its abilities as a developer and will likely see me instantly purchasing anything released in the future.

THis is a must-have game,,,very goood,,and ive spent so many hours on it too,,,
give it a try,,,and also cheap

This is turning out to be another cool Disgeia final fantasy tactics style tactical RPG...which is the best game format IMO!

great game for casual strategy rpg lovers. not too complicated. great graphics, characters and storyline.

this is a great game. a must have for anyone that likes tactics games. the defense system and transformations are a little icing on the cake.

This is a great strategy RPG for the PSP in the same style as Final Fantasy Tactics. There is about 8 chapters, and if you are used to the type of game like Vandal Hearts, Final Fantasy Tactics, Disgaea, etc, you'll be right at home. It's fairly easy till about the 2nd chapter, where the difficulty seems to ramp up considerably higher. The game never really pulls it's punches, and often there's objectives like 'Don't let character X die'. And all enemies go right for that character it seems.

The story is fairly engaging, and moves very fast. It's not as deep as Final Fantasy Tactics, the story is fairly straightforward, there are surprises, but things aren't pulled out of left field like the original story of FF:Tactics.

I can't recommend this to newcomers to the strategy or RPG (Or strat-rpg) genre. However for those that are aquainted with this genre of game, definately. Maybe as a second game, I'd recommend this before FF:Tactics, and then tactics when your done with this.

The battles are fierce, and quite often you'll be outnumbered. You get up to 15 chars to deploy, usually no greater than 7 at a time. Often your outnumbered 2-1, sometimes 3-1.

This game encourages you to stick together on the grid. When you stick within so many squares of eachother you receive defense bonuses, when you have 5+ chars next to eachother, they really add up. Every time you strike someone, behind them a 'burning aura' appears for that turn, where a character can move onto the space, and do considerably more damage. There's transformations, spells, skills, and very basic armor/weapons to purchase, find, and a skill/magic combining system.

If you enjoy games like Vandal Hearts, Final Fantasy Tactics, or RPG's in general. There isn't a huge world to explore, you move to points on a map. However the anime sequences are well done, but don't add much to the actual experience. The world and characters are well animated, the load-times are minimal (On a slim w/UMD cache on at least) and the game moves at an almost frenzied pace. The 'world map' looks huge, and it may not seem like too much, but spots that aren't shown are always popping up. Haven't completed it yet, but could recommend it to those who are fans of this genre. Get this, FF:Tactics (If you haven't played it yet on PS1) and Disgaea for the PSP.

The learning curve for this game is not as complicated as Final Fantasy Tactics, but it's quiet fun. You can build skills with gems and the story is very rich. The cutscene anime may not be the best but in game graphic for a RPG on PSP is not bad at all, since you can view all angles of the battlefield. I give it 4.8 out of 5.

This game is pretty and has good music, good gameplay, good voice acting, and good anime cutscenes. It is a game you would expect from Level 5. But for some reason I couldn't get into it due to the fact that it is handheld. Strategy RPGs for me are more of a console PS2 type of game. So if you like SRPGs the by all means go and get this game. But if you are not too keen on playing an in depth SRPG on the go then I would hold back. But thats just me. It is up for you to decide. Overall all I rate it a Rent for console gamers and a Buy for on the go gamers.
