Star Ocean Second Evolution - PSP Game (Retro Fam)

Pros:+Well done cutscenes+Visually stunning+Fun gameplay and mechanics+Fairly good storyline+There are various ways for the story to unfold+Tons of custimization, side quests and secrets+Well developed charactersCons:-A little too easy, which some may not enjoy as much as others-A lot of exposition throughout the game-The voice acting can grate on the nervesIn Japan, a little company called Enix (now Square-Enix) crafted an RPG called Star ocean where it was released on the Super Famicom in 1996. Star Ocean never made it to US shores. However, American gamers were able to play Star Ocean: The Second Story, which became a cult classic in 1999 and later Star Ocean: Till the End of Time in 2004. Now we have a chance to play the first Star Ocean and see just where those elements came from.Star Ocean is probably best known as being one of the RPGs which really brought Science Fiction to the RPG realm. On the planet Roak, there is a disease that is turning the denizens of the world to stone. In an attempt to rescue his friends and family and his world from this disease, Roddick and company must travel through time and space to locate the origins of the disease to find a cure. The story itself may seem somewhat dated by today's standards, but it still manages to be really good. Particularly because its got a lot of heart and a fairly good cast of characters. The story is told through traditional text boxes and from time to time through some really well done animated scenes.I.
