We're provided with a greatly enhanced sense of presentation, both from an audio and visual angle, as well as additional content not found in previous version.

Remains a classic refreshment to the way RPGs are played and anyone who has yet to play this should give it a shot. If you already own a previous version of this game, I don’t think the full voice acting and fifty extra illustrations are really enough to justify another copy unless you’re a hardcore fan of Riviera. No matter which version you have, it’s a great replayable RPG to add to your proud collection of games.

PSM3 Magazine UKA perfect example of a generic J-RPG. [July 2008, p.78]
-
Regardless of version, I think Riviera: The Promised Land is a decent JRPG, and it marked a great comeback for Sting.
-
Even without any significant upgrades, Riviera would still stand out as one of the worthier RPG entries on the PSP.
-
A great story and likable characters make it easier to overlook Riviera's limited combat and exploration.
-
Overall, it's a solid and unique JRPG which, thanks to some brave and interesting design decisions is worthy of attention, even if it will do nothing to convince genre detractors of that fact.
-
In short, while the game looks good and sounds great (err ... the music sounds great anyway), the PSP port doesn't have a lot more to offer than the GBA version.
-
Riviera feels like an RPG in more than just the sense that numbers appear over the heads of the bad guys you hit, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days.
-
Riviera distances itself well from the mainstream RPG fare, but this is both a blessing as well as its curse.
-
It may be a great GBA game but it should have been completely overhauled for the PSP, to the extent of creating another sequel in the series. What you're getting here is a game where the expiry date was written over with, "Coming Soon to the PSP."
