Game Overview

Valkyrie Profile is a console role-playing game developed by tri-Ace and published by Enix for the PlayStation console. It was released on December...

The Good

Great story concept with interesting characters, unique game mechanics require you to think differently about how you play, multiple endings, characters, and difficulty settings make for a different experience each time you play.

The Bad

Some of the cutscenes are so solemn and slow that you'll have to fight to stay awake, the more complex game mechanics are never explained very well, slight flaws such as slowdown and load times prevent this from being a perfect port, platforming is awkward and poorly implemented.

The Bottom Line

Asgard, the realm of the gods, remains locked in an eternal struggle between the benevolent Aesir and the demonic Vanir. With the end of the world approaching, Odin, Lord of Asgard, summons Lenneth Valkyrie to his side. Possessing the ability to hear the thoughts and feelings of men and women in their dying moments, he charges Valkyrie to search Midgard, the world of mortals, to recruit and train the souls of worthy warriors to join the ranks of the Aesir in the Sacred War.

Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth brings the classic PlayStation game console title, originally released in 2000, to the PSP system with completely new CG cut scenes. Lenneth introduce new fans to the spectacular combo attacks, unique side-scrolling environment, and gripping storyline that first captivated players six years ago. The game also features new scenes to help bridge the storyline with part 2 on PS2.

score

A solid port of a one-of-a-kind role-playing game that is endlessly appealing to genre fans who are looking for something different, but it's a bit too dense for everyone else.

A non-traditional RPG that comes out feeling traditional. The exploration, pre-enemy encounter elements give the game an instant hook to newcomers.

The best RPG that the PSP has received to date.
