Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars is maybe most significant for bringing the old-school GTA gameplay to a generation of players whose first experience with the satirical open-world series began with 3. While the PS2 trilogy opted for a third-person perspective that focused more on the human characters than the cars they used to get from A to B, Chinatown Wars resurrected the top-down perspective of the first two games in the series to entertaining results.
And, if a historical RPG sounds a little dry, just know that this variation of Joan of Arc spends her time fighting orc armies. Colorful visuals, a catchy soundtrack, and widely varying levels and objectives made LocoRoco 2 a must-play platformer on PSP. See our LocoRoco 2 review. Before he dazzled us in and out of VR with Tetris Effect, Tetsuya Mizuguchi designed what is possibly the best falling-block puzzle game not named Tetris. However, rather than creating horizontal lines to make blocks disappear, Lumines asks players to make squares of matching colors.
Pair that compellingly playable action with a hypnotic soundtrack and Lumines is an easy way to make hours disappear. Lumines Remastered is available on modern platformers, including Nintendo Switch. See our Lumines review. In this turn-based tactics game, cards control everything. Want to move? You need a card for that. Fire your weapon? Prior to a mission, you need to build a deck that you think will be effective, and this interplay between stealth and strategy makes for a surprisingly compelling mixture.
See our Metal Gear Acid review. In addition to the main campaign, Peace Walker featured multiplayer modes and short challenge missions for added variety.
Though it was occasionally frustrating due to its sparse checkpoints, Peace Walker was a great Metal Gear story to have on the go. Levels are cleverly constructed but give players a simple goal: Get from the start to the finish while collecting as much gold as possible along the way.
The aesthetic presentation matches this simplicity with a gray background and plain geometric platforms. The PSP version featured various multiplayer modes, including Tag and Domination, and added the ability to share created maps with other players.
Unfortunately, multiplayer servers were shut down in With a total of 14 flashy rides and 10 muscle cars, there are plenty of choices when it comes to tearing up the 8 gameplay modes. Fans of the first FlatOut games should already know all of the drivers and games modes. Head On borrows heavily from the first two titles and features the same tournament modes and points system.
Once again, the graphics really show what the PSP can do. Unlock new events by winning races or dive straight into the multiplayer party mode, pulling off dangerous stunts in order to prove who is the most courageous driver. Next up is the fantastic Burnout: Legends , an amalgamation of the first three Burnout games shrunk down for some portable PSP action. Now, I love this game obviously. Some people see it as a bit of a cop out title, but to me, this mash-up feels more like a portable version of Burnout 3: Takedown.
Legends sees all the old favourite modes returning including Eliminator and Face Off, where players can pick up new and exciting rides! If, like me, you love to see things on fire or exploding I really need some professional help… , then Road Rage should be your first port of call. All the cars from Burnout 2 and 3 make an appearance, and PSP users have the added bonus of being able to bet collectibles against other racers online. Players must pull off power plays while taking massive risks, pulling off death-defying stunts, and driving as though your life depends on it and it usually does.
Like Burnout where players rack up boost points, gamers do the above to slowly fill a power meter. Imagine opening up a whole new section of track and closing off another, suddenly creating a clear path to the head of the pack?
Now, I want you to also imagine falling obstacles to dodge past and water streaming from a broken dam! It just works better, and it boasts an extra track for players to test their mettle on too. The storyline follows a very similar premise to Midnight Club. Join a team, race in events, and try to claim areas and tracks off rival gangs. Oh, and you can recruit other racers into your team by basically totally demoralising them and giving them no other option than to comply…. Race against rival teams, gain better rankings, and become the leader of the pack.
Try your hand at time attack, and revel in the glory of the illegal underground racing world…. Like Street Supremacy, your job is to take over rival territories. Race through cityscapes and get lost in the graphic-novel-style cutscenes. The bronze medal officially goes to Gran Turismo , a portable version of one of the most important and influential titles in racing game history. With over cars to choose from including Bugattis and Chevvys to the 35 slick tracks with epic scenery, GT PSP is a bona fide power house!
Players start off with one car chosen at random. Racing is all well and good, but one of my favourite modes to play is Drift Trial. Racking up tokens while skidding along epic courses never gets old.
