Here's a riddle to get us started. Question: How many Dragon Ball Z characters does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Give up? Answer: Just one, but it takes him nine episodes. Ha ha. Anyway, the Dragon Ball franchise's popularity affords it at least one new game per year, often more than that, and the latest in the long line is Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team for Sony's PSP. This portable fighter, in an obvious effort to be different than the countless DBZ fighters before it, gives fans something not seen in a Dragon Ball title since the import-only Super Famicom days, the ability to control more than one warrior in 1-on-1, 2-on-1 or 2-on-2 battles. But does this mechanic make Tenkaichi Tag Team worth your gaming dollars? Gaming dollars that could be spent on any number of older, cheaper DBZ titles? And does it set itself apart from the two previous and stunningly similar PSP DBZ fighters?
If you are familiar with the Dragon Ball Z storyline, you won't find anything new in the progression through this game's plot-driven single player mode. It covers the entirety of the DBZ anime, from Raditz's arrival on earth to the defeat of Kid Buu, which is nice, but don't expect any new plot elements to be revealed in the game. It might not be fresh material, but it is presented well. The game bridges the gaps between fights with a top down view of the planet, where you can move a chibi-style character between points of interest. This allows for some exploration between fights, where you can take on mini-missions for characters found on the map. For example, in one of the first maps, a character asks you to locate a capsule he lost. You can find it and bring it back to complete one of the stage's multiple objectives. Other objectives include winning fights with different partners, locating key objects, fighting optional monsters, etc. It's a simple, one-dimensional system, but it adds variety to the same old fight after fight progression found in most other games of this type. This is not to say the fights are boring, though; but we'll get to that.

Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, a portable addition to the celebrated stealth series, is a rich, fully fledged Metal Gear Solid game with top-notch production values and masses of content, packed onto the PSP. It complements a great-looking stealth-action campaign with a strong co-op offering and bite-sized challenge missions, framed with a neatly presented resource management system in which you establish a private army. The game's many sideshows, ranging from tech development paths to member recruitment and a versus mode, add further value and depth to a commendably well-rounded experience.

Peace Walker is set shortly after the events of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, returning to the 1970s to tuck a characteristically twisty plot into the series' timeline. You play as Big Boss--Snake, to his friends--against the backdrop of the Cold War, with the CIA and KGB covertly meddling in Costa Rica. Snake and his mercenary startup, the Militaires Sans Frontieres, are enlisted to bring peace to the troubled country, which has no military of its own. Naturally, this demands that you sneak and shoot your way through various Central American environments, battling tanks and giant mechs at regular intervals. The plot, which veers between quirky comedy, conspiracy thriller, and military melodrama, is never less than compelling--even poignant towards the end, as Snake ponders the fate of his former mentor, The Boss. It plays out in stylish, animated graphic-novel snippets. Though these artsy cutscenes aren't overly long, you can conveniently pause them or, with the exception of some interactive segments, skip them entirely.

In the Beginning
Few games actually change the way you feel about a platform. They take the established standard and tear it to pieces. Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City (LCS) Stories is one such game. It takes the preconceptions about what a handheld can do and totally ignores them. It provides an experience so large and so complex that it's a wonder that it actually runs at all. The GTA series has always succeeded in sheer scope and complexity, and thankfully, it's no different on the as a handheld. There are no hardcore sacrifices, either. LCS uses the same kind of intricate 3D engine that put the series (and the developer) on the map with GTA III.

With LCS, Rockstar managed to include just about everything fans would come to expect from a console title. The narrative in LCS revolves around Liberty City, the same location from GTA III, so you can visit the same three islands as you could in the PS2 title. And not infinitely-less detailed versions of these islands either. Virtually every alleyway, sidewalk, and structure from GTA3 makes an appearance in the handheld version as well. The only real differences as far as gameplay goes are due to the game's story. The events in LCS actually take place before those in GTA III, so certain structures such as bridges and tunnels are under construction.

Hotter than an Italian Suit
It's been said before, but LCS runs damn well on the PSP. The framerate remains steady throughout most situations, even with scores of civilians roaming the streets. It's not perfect, of course, and it never really exceeds 30 frames per second, but it's still mighty impressive. Occasionally the game pushes so much on the screen at once that slowdown is inevitable, but it's not too bad. Even at its worst, the PSP manages to keep things running well enough to keep you playing relatively unhindered by the burdens of portable technology. As for the load times, well, they're impressive as well. The game only loads on start-up, when loading a save or during cutscenes. Apart from this, there's absolutely no loading when driving around town. Of course, when going from one island to the next there's a five-second pause, but that's very understandable. Battery life is also impressive and clocks in at around four hours.

With Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Rockstar has once again revisited a previous title's setting on the PSP. Vice City Stories takes place two years prior to the events of the PlayStation 2 game, and essentially works as some sort of an introduction to GTA: Vice City. It's a much bigger game in almost every way than the first PSP GTA release, Liberty City Stories.

Still though, it's Grand Theft Auto through and through. By that we mean that while things have been cleaned up or expanded a bit here or there, it's still largely the same game that we first saw with Grand Theft Auto III. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as Vice City Stories is still easily one of the best games on the system, but if you've began to grow tired of the franchise's mechanics, mission structure or overall feel, this likely won't renew your love of the series.

In fact, after remembering our time with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, we can't help but feel that Vice City Stories isn't quite everything it could be. Sure, it's a big technical improvement over Liberty City Stories, but there's nothing substantially new to the series here. We suppose that'll have to wait for Grand Theft Auto IV, and we're more than willing to hold our breath, but it seems like this would be the perfect platform, literally and figuratively speaking, for some new experimentation. Being able to swim this time out is nice, but we've seen that before and it really just feels like we're getting something back that we've already had.

In the Harvest Moon series, players have been raising crops and tending to adorable livestock for years. In this iteration of Harvest Moon, you receive a farm located in Leaf Valley from your recently deceased grandfather. Before you can collect his things and return home, you're confronted by three Harvest sprites and the Harvest Goddess who all urge you to stay and help them. It turns out that a capitalist group named FunLand is threatening to level the town and construct an amusement park in its place.

Even though your character has zero farming knowledge and has literally just arrived in the area, you're tasked with raising $50,000 in two years or else the community is doomed. Fortunately, coughing up the cash is only one way to save your newly inherited home; there are 16 possible pathways to put the kibosh on FunLand's park. If you successfully complete related storylines, you can help turn the town into a tourist attraction or a nature reserve.

Regardless of how you rescue the land, you'll need to work odd jobs, plant crops and raise animals in order to make money and maintain a cushy lifestyle. Fishing, mining for ores, chopping down trees for lumber, cooking noms and tending to livestock are the basic ways to make some dough in Leaf Valley.

When you've got a game that so closely manages to invoke the spirit of Pilotwings that it's almost as if Nintendo had a hand in its conception, it's nigh on impossible not to bring it up in a review. Which is precisely why we thought we'd get it out of the way right at the beginning. There you go: Pilot Academy - it's a bit like Pilotwings.

But, to be honest, it really isn't at all. You see, while the irreverent objectives, cheerful graphics and lilting musical ambiance are undoubtedly reminiscent of Nintendo's classic series, Pilot Academy is far more of a sim than Pilotwings ever was - and that's something you'll need to understand right from the off if you're going to avoid spending your first couple of hours with the game cursing a furious pox on its designers, their spouses, children and that woman who pops around every Thursday to dust off the gladiolas.





Initially, you'll want to steer your plane with the kind of simplistic arcade turn-on-a-dime control you'd generally expect from a game of this nature. It quickly becomes apparent that's not how the developer wants you to play at all, though. Instead, you'll need to take manual control of banking, pitch and yaw, rudder, take off, cruise and landing gears, your air brakes, undercarriage and, in later missions, weapons.

Gameplay is split into three distinct sections - lessons, missions and challenges - with each further divided into leisure or military pursuits. It's worth mentioning the tutorial missions here, which range from getting yourself airborne to filling an enemy aircraft with lead. When there's so much to get to grips with in a game we applaud a well-implemented compulsory tutorial. Thing is, Pilot Academy just doesn't do a very good job of introducing even the most basic of techniques you'll need to see you through to the end.

Videogame fans had almost given up hope. After a string of lackluster sequels, it seemed like the Tomb Raider series had caved in on itself. There it sat, buried underneath layers of mediocrity. It almost became like one of its own fabled artifacts - something you might see, someday, if fate decided to bless you with a little luck.

Videogame fans had almost given up hope. After a string of lackluster sequels, it seemed like the Tomb Raider series had caved in on itself. There it sat, buried underneath layers of mediocrity. It almost became like one of its own fabled artifacts - something you might see, someday, if fate decided to bless you with a little luck.

Turns out Lady Luck likes games, because she saw it fit to drag Lara Croft out of her hole. Her return in Tomb Raider Legend marks a definite return to grace for the series. It delivers everything that gamers want in a Tomb Raider game, namely puzzles, action and exploration. What's more, most every aspect of the game comes with an impressive degree of refinement. Legend even has certain things, like a genuine sense of adventure that even great games tend to lack.





But not all is well. At least not when it comes to the PSP version. While everything described above remains true for the handheld port, the polish and fluidity of the console versions simply isn't there. Legend now feels rough in parts, and violently bumpy in others. Worse, the drop in performance actually affects gameplay, making it impossible to ignore. This is especially true during combat and the driving sequences, already two of the weakest aspects of the game. Things get increasingly frustrating when the game requires finesse on the part of the player. It only takes a drop of so many frames during an important sequence for premature death to occur. Not fun.

Rockstar (makers of Grand Theft Auto) has teamed with producer Timbaland in the hopes of creating a full-featured music creation program that both musicians and music fans can enjoy. Beaterator is capable of quite a bit, but also sacrifices some usability in exchange for depth. Cramming all these features onto the handheld comes at a cost. People looking for a music game will have to look elsewhere, but if you want to create some tunes Beaterator will do the trick – so long as you have a little patience.

Rock/folk/classical music fans take note: Beaterator deals with loops, which means it's really ideal for dance and hip-hop music that uses a lot of repetition. Of course, with a title like Beaterator you probably don't expect to be composing string quartets.



There are two sides to Beaterator: Live Play and the Studio. Live Play is a pretty cool performance tool that lets you mix either Beaterator's or your own loops together. A session consists of several tracks represented by speakers in the corners of the screen, and each track can contain four loops that are triggered with the PSP's face buttons. One loop from each track can play at a time (up to a total of 8 simultaneous loops) and you can jump from loop to loop in real time. Using this mode to perform compositions of your own loops seems to be the best application for Beaterator. Playing with the templates and included loops is amusing for a bit, but creating your own material or loading in your own samples from your PC is much more rewarding. Not all the loops in a template go well together, which is another reason to stick to your own creations.

You can replace loops as your song plays, effectively allowing you to transition to another song during a performance. Beaterator can also record a performance and dump the loops you play into the timeline of your Song Crafter, saving you the trouble of laying it all out piece by piece on your own. Once captured, you can edit the clips in the timeline as desired. This is actually a very convenient way of composing songs and I wish the entire Beaterator experience was this user friendly. I can even imagine bringing a PSP and Beaterator on stage with me and using Live Play in my own projects.

    * Network play is a lot of fun.

Though still in its infancy, the PSP was blessed with a number of top-notch racing games at launch. ATV Offroad Fury: Blazin' Trails is the first off-road racing game for the Sony handheld. While the single player mode tends to be frustrating, the game combines fast four-wheel action with one of the most feature-rich online multiplayer modes we've seen on the PSP. If you're in love with the grit and grime of dirt racing, and don't mind a challenge, then Blazin' Trails should be right up your alley.




The first thing that will probably strike you about this game is its difficulty. Unlike many racing games (heck, unlike most games in general) that start out easy and gently ramp up the intensity as you progress, Blazin' Trails' single-player championship events--of which there are 14 to choose from--start out challenging and don't let up for a moment, even on normal difficulty level. This is partially due to some newly tweaked, and far less forgiving, physics that put an absolute premium on jump strategy. Unlike other off-road racing games, which tend to be forgiving in terms of how you approach a jump, how much you preload your ride, and more, Blazin' Trails forces near-perfect approaches and skillful landings if you hope to even have a chance of winning against your three ontrack opponents.

It's hard to believe that Sackboy is just a year old. It seems like only yesterday he burst onto our TV screens in LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation 3 and ushered in the era of "Play, Create, Share" – an era marked by 2D platforming and the ability to whip up your own levels and post them online for all to enjoy.

Now, Sony's portable is getting a dose of the good stuff with LittleBigPlanet PSP, and, in short, the game is great. I have a Platinum Trophy in LBP PS3, I often double back and play the game for our Level-Lovers feature, and still buy the DLC Media Molecule pumps out for the original title. My expectations were high for LBP PSP, and somehow the game managed to meet, if not surpass them.

    * Looks great.


The Jak and Daxter series is a household name among platforming fans, getting much love for its madcap adventures imbued with a good dose of action and puzzle-solving. The latest addition to the series is no different: it's a good-looking, challenging, and action-packed game that doesn't lack variety. While Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier plays a lot like its predecessors, there are enough enhancements--such as the air combat elements--to keep things fresh. The only things to watch out for are the sometimes-off-camera enemies and the not-so-smooth storyline--faults easily overshadowed by the solid and engaging gameplay.
