The Warriors, which was offered on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox based on the 1979 cult classic film of Walter Hill proved well worth the effort. Not just a bland remake of the film, the game added in a lot of spice and back story to the situations and characters.

The same ‘Warriors’ has made its way to the PlayStation Portable. This beat em’ up game looks good on the handheld. Storyline and features have been retained from the original and thankfully; there is no extra content addition in a bid to cram in as much as possible.

The game is all about the trials and situations faced by one of the gangs going around in New York, the Warriors. The Warriors PSP version starts just as in the movie where the gang is on their way to meet the enigmatic leader of Gramercy Riffs Cyrus. A grand plan for a unified gang movement is laid down by Cyrus. Just as it looks like he is going to convince everyone, he is shot by a gunman and the crowd scatters with the police on their heels. After this point, the game shifts basically away from the movie.

The well written storyline and script with blunt and curse filled dialogs are quite effective adding to the atmosphere. Most of the game is the beat ‘em up type and as a player you will be indulging in a lot of brawling. Fights are similar with a lot of ground attacks and jumping. Fighting engine is simple but environments are unpredictable adding to the fun and excitement. You will find a host of fighters appearing on the screen all of a sudden making the game very fast paced and hectic.

Instead of just sending groups of bad guys at you to keep fighting, Warriors makes it more interesting by giving players plenty of interesting tasks to break the action. Another interesting feature in this game is the checkpoint save system which is good and eliminates the need to replay long sequences. Level designs are attractive and exciting and sequences are well set offering hours of fun and thrill on your favourite PSP.

Awesome firepower and metal is what comes to our mind when we start playing Armored Core: Formula Front Extreme Battle. This game from publishers 505 Games plays surprisingly well on the handheld. This game is in depth with a mech management filled with heavy stats.

As a player, you are in charge of a rookie team. The team consists of armored core or AC units numbering five. In order to equip yourself to square off with other mechs in the Formula Front, a futuristic sport, you assemble these AC units and tune them like an architect. As a player, you find yourself spending most of your time in the garage assembling the units with various parts and weapons.

You have to keep in mind various aspects as you build your robot. These include the mobility, heat, weight and energy output. One of the funnest parts of Armored Core: Formula Front - Extreme Battle is balancing the six different AC unit stats. Weapon targeting and radar disruption can be used to resist electronic countermeasures for the AC unit such as the cooling, energy supply, mobility, defensive power, attack power and VS ECM. By balancing all these effectively, it is possible to obtain an overall good rating.

It is possible to tune each AC unit for a specific purpose. As you go for a match, it is possible to study your opponents and determine the extent of their skills before choosing the appropriate AC machine for use.

When the AC machine’s basic structure is ready, it has to be equipped with weapons. Players are offered a wide range of weapons such as the sniper rifles, shotguns, rocket launchers, machine guns, plasma cannons and energy blades. For maximum efficiency, it is important to select the right weapon depending on your AC machine’s capability. Battles themselves are set in different venues and last for just about three minutes.

This game is one of the good two dimensional fighter games on the PlayStation Portable. The Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower is similar to the Dreamcast version Vampire Chronicle for Matching Service. Those who have played the Dreamcast version of this game may find the controls a bit of an issue here on the PSP.

For example, there are no icons for characters that changes as you choose different styles of fighting. The Tower mode is an interesting addition on PSP which provides for enhanced challenge. This mode resembles a tournament mode and you take the help of three of your own characters to fight a whole lot of characters. The catch here is there is no health bar after each fight with the help of which you can recharge or refill. Often you find yourself stranded without certain important abilities like punch, kick and jump.

You therefore have to choose match ups with discretion depending on the character you are going to fight with next. You also have to ration your health among the three as you continue fighting. In other words, you fight as long as you are able to survive.

As you win fights, you unlock exciting character arts which complement the cool, stylish and neat characters. Character designing, in fact, is the highlight of Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower. In keeping with Capcom’s creativity, character interpretation is excellent providing players with an awesome feeling playing with monsters. The Dracula for example is equipped with a superman-like physique.

The basic mode of the game offers you a choice of seven deadly battles, eighteen characters and three versions of the Darkstalkers game. Considering the game revolves heavily around your ability to perform the fireball swivel move, the controls are not good enough to enable you perform this move effortlessly, making it highly frustrating. The directional pad of the PSP is a major obstacle in this regard splashing cold water on the enjoyment it could have otherwise provided.

Sound and graphics are excellent making up for any flaws in the control. With the Wi-Fi connectivity, you can play from two PSPs and two copies of the game effortlessly. On the whole this Capcom game is quite a satisfying one you can enjoy on your favourite PSP.

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.
