    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.

    Just a hack with a medium-hot license - play the real thing instead. [Feb 2012, p.85]

    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

    I gave up on this game long ago since I believed a western release was unthinkable, but then I learned Aksys translated it and, being a huge Type Moon fan, I immediately preordered the L.E.. It turns out I made the right choice, since this game is absolutely awesome and has the best dialogues in quite some time. It's also far different from the Persona games, and that pleased me since by the infos I read at the Japanese release I thought Fate/Extra was a Persona 3 clone. Characters are great, too, and I'm already loving new Saber's personality.… Expand

    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.… Expand
