Classic Game Room HD - PERSONA for PSP, Shin Megami Tensei

Classic Game Room HD reviews PERSONA for PSP in the Shin Megami Tensei series from Atlus. This amazing and creative series has many games for a variety of consoles such as the Nintendo DS and Playstation 2. Persona marks the series debut on the PSP with turn based strategy, dungeon crawling, demon slaying RPG action. Darker and more subdued than the other games (in the SMT series) that I've played, Persona missed some of the "wow" factor that made the others jump off the screen. Play as a team of teenagers (surprise!) from high school who are uncovering a mystery as to why demons are appearing all over town and their high school disappears and stuff like that. The usual, you know how it is. Feelings, inner turmoil, fighting demons, blah blah blah. Persona has a very sedimentary turn based strategy fighting style where two opposing teams square off in a rectangle and take turns casting magic spells, shooting and attacking each other with swords, guns and mop handles. Level up characters with experience points, level your personas up while using them and enjoy hours and hours of gameplay in this fancy dungeon crawler from Atlus. This CGR review of Person on PSP has gameplay from the Shin Megami Tensei video game Persona from Atlus.

This game was a real travisty to the origional Revelations: Persona release for the playstation 1. Granted i'm sure it followed the story line, but the origional hade a more dynamic feel to it as the summonings were a bit more played out and by far the biggest difference was the soundtrack. It wasn't any of this barbie bubblegum pop music by any means, I'd say the ORGIONAL music actually helped to captivate the feel for this game.

Sorry, mistake, played both persona3 for ps2 and devil survivor for ds T_T'

@wildthinker1000 What is Orgional?

[duketogo1300]

@disgaea21 You mean you played the two Devil Survivor games on DS? Strange Journey on the DS has this same first-person Wizardry-styled perspective. Both the Persona series and the Devil Survivor series are spin-offs, fyi. The main series, Shin Megami Tensei, has always used this first-person perspective with the exception of the third on PS2, SMT: Nocturne. SMT: Strange Journey DS took it back to the old style, though that was on the DS.

@DreamingReal3 They released a remake for PSP.

[disgaea21]

wow...i played persona 3, and both shin megami tesei ds versions, but this looks more like etrian oddesey (or something like that) then like, well, any shin megami game i guess (except for the terms and such, of course).

this is my opinion, it won't do any good to tell me i'm wrong.

@BenJKrauser Persona 1 had it flaws but it is worth to check out the PSP version because many things has been improved comared to the PSone version

[DreamingReal3]

I thought Persona 1 was on the original Playstation.

[BenJKrauser]

No offence to the fans, but Persona 1 sucked, Persona 2 was playable, Persona 3 was AMAZING, and Persona 4 was the greatest JRPG every released.

@khhnator No, it doesn't ever get old, actually.

@UnreachableCloud To tell you the truth, I always thought that the original took place in Japan, I just didn't bother finding out and the black character didn't bother me, because to my knowledge there are black people in Japan.
