The gameplay is a lot of fun as it basically is the time unit system found in X-COM that the people who developed X-COM wish they could have made. The only thing that bugs me about the game is the forced challenge mode on every level even when it's the players first play through of the game. =/
Along with MGS4 and Ninja Gaiden: Sigma, I bought this game when I bought my ps3 a year ago. For some reason, I love this game. I don't have a psp, but sometime I'll buy one to get to the sequels as well as some other titles. I'm a huge fan of Sega. I grew up with the Genesis and I've been a fan since, not a fanboy. I might get the anime series Valkyria Chronicles as well.
maybe it's just me but I didn't start really start enjoying the game until chapter 8, which is probably about 4-6 hours into the game ( wasn't counting lol).
if you have a lot of time on your hands to invest hours into getting to know the game, experimenting with different strategies, leveling up your charcters and equipment and learning all the optional lore then this is the game for you.
if not then you in for sheer misery, just warning you.
This and resonance of fate are the two best srpgs ever made. Nothing compares to res of fate, the feel, sidescolling towns, battles, best srpg ever. Got v chronicles 2 on psp, not as good but still fun.
i like this type of games but not this one, i find it boring, slow, lack of atks, or magic, i also don't see the real strategy, its just run, take cover and shoot, how hard can that be. i might be wrong but i didn't even finish the demo, so i guess that makes it clear for me
Just ordered it for a tenner...looks like good fun, looking forward to giving it a go. I'm not usually keen on anime style but it does look fun, might end up getting the second one on PSP too.
This game dissapointed me SO much: I was expecting a realistic vision of war with an anime paint job, not a anime cliched fantasy world full of characters that are hot for NO reason.
excetional we often play it at birthdays with my uncle he is incredibly good at it. I managed to download it utterly free for my ps3 here; 115 games. com they have literally hundreds I couldnt beleive that they are all free btw 1:03 2 3:53 was brilliant

two things, well rounded and scored review but learn to pronounce things for god sake it's pronounced VAL-KIR-IEA (that's phonetic not the actual spelling) and also the word skirmish (pronounced SKER-MISH) okay :D ...but like i said a very good review :)
The fact that a PS3 comes with a blu-ray player and I get to get GOW3 was enough for me to get one! :) And though I like the Xbox a lot, the failure rate has kept me from getting one. The Xbox exclusives were not enough to get me to get one yet. This game is another reason to get a PS3 if you like these types of games.
you must not have been paying attention to the line up Metal Gear Solid IV LBP Demon's Souls Infamous Uncharted Uncharted 2 Resistance Resistance 2 Killzone 2 Rachet & Clank:TOS Rachet & Clank:CT and much more including this game......
Rachet and Clank isn't fun to me, Resistance is just like every other shooter, killzone 2 is way over hyped, Infamous I haven't played but it looked neat, Uncharted is pretty good, but not worth being the only reason to buy a PS3 and I've never been very into MGS.
The only flaw i can find to this game, and it's very minor is it does not have any kind of auto save. If you get into the game and forget to save, it can potentially set you back if say the power goes out or something silly like that. but all in all I adore this game.
Me too. This, mgs4, , and especially demons souls make me proud to be a ps3 owner. Just as alan wake, lost odyssey, and fable2/3, and mass effect make me proud to own a 360. All must have games. Love the reviews whitey keep em comin
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this is a ps3 exclusive
Things this weeabo left out in his review are:
Menu system is stupid as hell, you will get loading screens just to get into more menus (and only menus)
You cannot control your main character directly. The only time you move him around is on the battlefield, much like every other SRPG anime weeabo game.
There are big flaws in the game in terms of accuracy/ hits/ and enemies aiming extremely fast.
More flaws are the fact that the "replayability" missions are always the same, they never change positions, characters, or classes of the enemies so you will find yourself repeated THE SAME EXACT MISSION over and over
Nope, sorry its the only let down to this game. They really should release a patch for them to increase some sales for the game. Its the best kept secret.
if u played skies of arcadia and u look when hes talking about recruting when he goes down to vyse it is vyse or looks alooooooooot like him olmost exact
Dude seriously i hate you, i was holding off getting this for my PS3 (because im hoping sega decides to make it for 360 again.) but after this review im going to have to buy it lol. So yeah sweet review.
Great review Whity! I've been a fan ever since your Dead Rising review almost 2yrs ago. I disagreed but I loved yours style. You have gotten so more professional since then. Please don't ever stop your reviews.
I was exactly like you on this one Whity.Saw it thought it looked but didnt expect much.I was blown away though by how good the story and characters were.I must have for any PS3 fan.
I own an Xbox 360 but I just bought a PS3 earlier to play this game.

Great review, VC is one of the best SP3 games
But there's 2 elements in the game I consider to be flaws
1-You aren't able to shoot at the enemy instead a Computer does it for you
2-Some classes such as Tank have shit aim when you're trying to take out a smaller enemy on screen
OlimarthEX 3 years ago
1-You CAN shoot at enemies by pressing R1, but only in your turn.
2-Just upgrade your tank's sights and you will normally hit anything.
