    I don't understand what up for the low ratings for this game and whats up with the load times? I have no problems with the load times and the story is great so is the char art. I have to give this game a 10.

    No loading times at all with an old PSP2001 model here. This game is faster for me than Final Fantasy Tactics and most other tactical RPGs, possibly because my cpu speed is set to 333Mhz. Not sure what to say about all the raging reviews about loading times. I guess the majority of the populace shudders at the very idea of having to fiddle just a tiny bit with their hardware configurations to better their play experience. Too bad for those people as this is a magnificent tactical RPG with an entertaining battle system and engrossing features they will never get to experience. I'm enjoying it more than any other tactical RPG i have played up to this day. It deserves a ten just to rub it in the faces of those people who enjoy beating cripples, but i doubt they will understand the metaphor anyway.… Expand

    This is probably the best tactics games Ive cpme across next to the shining force series. The loading times makes it a great game to play at work, traveling, or if you are trying to sleep. Character developement and selection for missions adds a huge strategic value to it. And unlike other tactics games (i.e. orge tactics, fft), you are limited to the number of units you can have on the field to a small amount which creates more problem solving on a military level. The choice between the different armies gives you a look from all sides of an outcome.… Expand

    So while the original SSII definitely has some merit, this PSP port of the same said title shares so little of the same experience and fun that it’s almost farcical that it even shares the same name. [JPN Import]

    I'd like to recommend Spectral Souls for such an occasion, but unless you're a hardcore SRPG junkie, it might be more frustration than relaxation. [Oct. 2006, p.65]

    Pointless loading EVERYWHERE means the game just comes off as coded by monkeys rather than being something different. Stay away.
