    If viewed as an RPG with a tiny world and far too much text, I would imagine players walking away from Fate/Extra feeling unsatisfied or bored. However, when taken as what it really is-a visual novel with a superb level of gameplay-then it can only be appreciated as the fine effort that it is.

    Aksys Games nailed the localization with Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors and they've done it again with the excellent writing in Fate/EXTRA. Unfortunately, a sea of monotony and repetitiveness plagues the game's potential for being one of the PSP's elite RPG's.

    There are better visual novels and better RPGs out there than Fate/Extra, and with similar themes to boot, so skip this title and play The World Ends With You; Chaos Rings; or 9 Persons, 9 Hours, 9 Doors instead.
  4. Just a hack with a medium-hot license - play the real thing instead. [Feb 2012, p.85]

  1. Really good game a mix of persona 4 witha fighting game it is a little hard on the beggining and may scare some players but when you get used to it you will notice that is one of the best rpg made to psp Expand
  2. Fate/Extra is a rather unique game basing its fighting like Rock/Paper/Scissor. The story line is pretty nicely done and the ending can always be changed. I have yet to see a dead end yet but with 3 characters and multiple endings there is a lot of possibilities with this game. Expand
  3. fate extra is yet another great jrpg on psp, with the added bonus of a great plot written by nasu of fate stay night fame. the choices provided during the game, along with the possibility to replay it using different servants, really boost the replayability factor, and the localization is one of the best seen this year. it plays like a mix of traditional dungeon crawler and turn based duels where you have to memorize enemy patterns in order to counter them, an interesting combination that feels really fresh compared with other games' stale mechanics.
    every type moon and jrpg fan should give this game a chance, it's really unique and well crafted.

    Good jrpg, but after the first time I beat the game I tried to replay it with the other characters and it just felt like the same game. There are little differences between being male or female, or which servant you choose, so IMO it has little replay value. Expand
