Shadow of Destiny (Sony PSP)

I loved Konami and every game they've ever done since Metal Gear on MSX console.

This game is interesting and tells you the meaning of time and how to travel through time to change some events in order to control fate.

Graphics are great compared to a Portable console.

Fun to play and interact with other characters and speech dialogue makes it even better.

As you may know, the premise of this game is quite interesting. You play as a young man, Ike, who almost immediately gets stabbed to death in the street. You are then awakened by a mysterious being who gives you a time travel device to allow to try and prevent your demise.

While the story can be a bit forced at times, it is an interesting back and forth; dying, preventing your death, dying a different way, preventing that death, etc.

Be warned, this is an old ps2 game, and as such it plays like an old adventure game: sparse locales, sparse locals who talk nonsense, some trial and error "puzzles" and such. But it's still an interesting game with an interesting story. Too bad there's no demo, as this game is not for everyone.

I loved this game. It was my second PS2 game (the first being Zone of the Enders). When I heard this was getting a PSP port I was very excited. It's an adventure/mystery game with a pretty interesting story, time travel, and multiple endings. A warning for those who have played the PS2 version, this is not the exact same game, contrary to some reviews. The voice actors are different (not as good imo), Eike sounds much younger almost has a cocky anime boys voice, Homunculus sounds more boyish now and talks way too fast, and the graphics are crisper than the original PS2 one. One gripe and one plus for the PSP version. Overall it's entertaining and mostly the same game. 4 stars. It would have been 5 if they kept the voice actors.
