  • Summary: Asgard, the realm of the gods, remains locked in an eternal struggle between the benevolent Aesir and the demonic Vanir. With the end of the world approaching, Odin, Lord of Asgard, summons Lenneth Valkyrie to his side. Possessing the ability to hear the thoughts and feelings of men and women in their dying moments, he charges Valkyrie to search Midgard, the world of mortals, to recruit and train the souls of worthy warriors to join the ranks of the Aesir in the Sacred War. Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth brings the classic PlayStation® game console title, originally released in 2000, to the PSP system with completely new CG cut scenes. tri-Ace, the developers behind the acclaimed Star Ocean series and "Radiata Stories", introduce new fans to the spectacular combo attacks, unique side-scrolling environment, and gripping storyline that first captivated players six years ago. To give players a deeper understanding of the plot and to complement the game’s dramatic storyline, additional CG cutscenes have been incorporated. Some of these new scenes contain links to the story of "Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria." [Square Enix]… Expand

    On its own merits Valkyrie Profile is easy to recommend, but given the relative lack of high quality RPG's on the PSP, it's a definite must buy.

    Its story, gameplay, and presentation are so good and so unique, it's easily the best RPG to hit the PSP, not to mention one of the best of the last two console generations. [Sep 2006, p.79]

    Questionable suitability for portable play aside, this is probably the best role-playing game yet for PSP.

    Valkyrie is an excellent game. The story is very creative and impressive. The graphics are fair, for PSP anyway and the overall gameplay is magnificent. You will be blown-away by the features that this game offers. It's a must-buy!… Expand

    VP is truly a classic. Its compelling story and Unique battle system make it a must for any J-RPG fan. Top that with amazing characters and an unlockable secret dungeon and you got an unforgettable gaming experience.… Expand

    I enjoy this game, somewhat. What’s good is great what's not is... boring. First off let me say that the combat is great fun, now let me say you'll see very little for most of the first part of the game. You play as a Valkyrie sent down to collect the souls of good people who will become warriors ragnorok (the final dooms day battle). This leads to the games big down fall, you spend almost all of your time watching 16 bit cut scenes & getting each characters freaking life story before something happens & you take their soul. It wouldn't be so bad if it was every now and again, but instead combat is the every once in a while though combat rocks. then after you leave the town/dungeon you press start & the Valkyrie will find somewhere else for you to go to, but she will never repeat her self meaning should you not read it correctly, or turn it off & forget where you were meant to go, or already have a place to go & you forget, your screwed & have to wait until the next period ends (don't ask me to explain that I’m not even sure how it works, it's something like for every hour you play a period passes) which leads to another big flaw I feel way to rushed to explore the dungeons properly cause your always on a very short timer. Don’t get me wrong I like this game but it jut don't have enough patients for it & I like to think that I’m patient. however it's almost fun & worth a buy if you find it cheap & want to know all about some character who's just like everyone else & has a dramatic story to tell, taking up about 15 minutes of your precious time, oh & this game doesn’t really suit the hand held what with overly long cut scenes & poorly placed save points.… Expand
