    A very good game for all RPG fans, and I am not a fan and I still liked it. The combat is simple, so even the stupidest of us will know how to play this. A must-have, apart from the long name.

    long loading times take away from the expirience. Otherwise the game is ok.

    This game is just plain bad, just slash all the way till every boss fight. The fighting system r bad, u'll need to reach certain level to kill a boss, if not the damage will just be 0.

    The game is great, despite the card based playing, it's interesting to be able to play a female character in one of the series, not only that but one that owns the helll outta' people.

    The great thing about the PSP version of the Arc of Napishtim was that it was to mirror the Japanese PC game which.....picked up a bad case of American localization, conceding its hand-drawn sprites for renders, and anime scenes for bulky CG. [Mar 2006, p.48]

    The combat is engaging, the controls can be mapped however you like, and the load times could be worse. But the minigame additions to this version aren't nearly enough to justify a PSP port.

    Just be warned that you'll be sitting through a lot of black screens before you get to the good parts. And even then, they might run a little slow.
