This game is an interesting blend of a game of collectible cards, good ideas and turn based strategy. Neverland Card Battles, though an interesting concept, could have been handled better. The tutorials are expansive, unclear and difficult to follow, the visuals and graphics lack in depth and the gameplay is tedious.

Idea Factory, the developer of this game has started the game interestingly enough. Modes include the single-player mode with a back story and an ad-hoc multiplayer mode without any storyline.

Story follows an exotic sequence from the Neverland universe influenced by Japanese anime. You are Galahad and you are in possession of the magical spectral cards. The pack of cards itself is part of the gate that has imprisoned an evil God Hellgaia who is out to destroy humanity. Teen guardian of the Gods Egma resembling a leprechaun summons you to battle and protest the breaking down of this gate. In fact, you will be fighting to defend the entire Neverland. And don’t get confused with the word Neverland, because the anime world in card battles is completey different than anything in Peter Pan - the Legend of Neverland. Back to Neverland Card Battles, where the mechanics are truly innovative. Take control of battle spaces on the checkerboard to take control and earn points. As you move allies as well as the hero Galahad, you change the colour of the board in order to gain more power. Battles themselves are based on a combination of strategy and luck.

The tutorial is quite insipid as it is more of a demo than an actual training. After your teacher Egma gives you a vague explanation of the game fundamentals, the duel that follows is quite difficult and confusing for a novice. There are absolutely no tips regarding movement timing, selection of cards, how to play certain cards and strategies.

Actual campaign is as tough as the tutorial. Here you are up against a computer who seems to get a much more favourable draws all the time. It is not possible to skip campaigns as you have to move forward methodically unlocking campaigns.

With better handling of the gameplay and visuals, this could have been a sure winner. For those who love card collectible games and battle campaigns, this is an entertaining game for your favourite PSP.

The game is highly challenging and will test the adrenaline of the player in every level. The game includes battles through the myths and mechanics of various layers and reaching the success point.

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 2: The Phantom Fortress is the second game in the series for the PlayStation Portable. It is a casual fighting game. It may just as well be a revamped version of its predecessor, and while it still has its own share of problems, you’ll find Phantom Fortress to be more entertaining, and considerably longer.

For those who aren’t familiar with the series, here are the basics. Phantom Fortress, like it’s predecessor, works on two 2- dimensional planes, one with the foreground and one with the background environments. So even though the environments and characters are 3D, deep down, the game is still a 2D fighter.

The gameplay is relatively simple, as all attacks accessible with the circle button, and combos are executed with the added directional input, and maybe a couple more button presses. Standard to most Naruto titles, each character in Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 PSP has a Chakra bar, in addition to a health bar, which determines how many and what level of jutsus, or techniques, you can deploy. The player can also use items during fights.

The battles can be quite easy for most of the gaming enthusiasts who just want to have a good Naruto experience, as all attacks involve button bashing the circle button. However, one can get a lot more out of the game by actually using the items and advanced controls.

The story line has been extended a bit to do justice to the game’s title, by adding a new mode known as the Mugenjo mode. In this arc, Naruto is thrown into a fortress known, obviously, as the Phantom Fortress, which sucks life out of everything around it. Having that appear about the Hidden Leaf Village poses an obvious problem, so Naruto is faced with the task of getting rid of it.

The mode takes you back to the days of Dungeon crawling, moving your character’s icon between rooms, facing enemies and completing mini-games. A number of different scrolls activate different game types as well. There are tons of other goodies to unlock during the game, like artwork and songs and other stuff, making the games overall experience an enjoyable one.

The title immediately conjures up associations with the sci-fi anime movie and series. We obviously know Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex will feature some very high tech combat action, and what better way to explore the crazy futuristic Ghost in the Shell world than with a first person shooter.

The game is the first ever Ghost in the Shell title for the PSP. The sound is also done in such a fantastic way as to really add to the game’s mood and atmosphere. The single player game is short in length, but delivers unbelievable action, whereas the multiplayer mode, while technically offering unlimited action, is rather stale and monotonous.

The game completely follows the anime theme upon which it is based. Yes, you’ll play as a member of the elite police force named Section 9. As a cop in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (PSP), you’re on a mission to unravel a convoluted and mysterious plot from a terrorist gang. It’s obvious that you’ll be empowered with heavy duty weapons for accomplishing this task, but you will also need to cleverly use your savvy sleuthing skills as well. In some missions you’re employed to escort helpless VIP’s to safety and to gather official information you’ll need to kidnap an official.

The title involves 6 chapters and each of them is divided into 3 to 4 missions, which each mission lasting a couple of hours. This means you can actually complete the single player game pretty rapidly, even though the game does get progressively more difficult. A must try for any fans of the anime series.
