Better than SFII, Darkstalkers is a classic arcade and in the PSP system... just have to say: Pocket-size Morrigan

awsome game!

this is the first game ive gotten for the psp because i only got my psp a week ago and I'd have to say for a 2d fighter its pretty cool the combos are hardcore the super moves are sweet and the game play is..desent. Its not hard to figure out the controls once your used to them, use training mode first you'll see what I mean. And beating the game is very easy exept the last boss, he's a little tougher. The illistrations you unlock throuh tower mode are also a big bonus. I havent unlocked any movies though, but hey, I've only played the game for 4 hours so it'll take some time. If you liked dark stalkers for playstation and have a psp get this game it will be worth it.

Nothing new but still fun

This game was very much fun. I wasn't expecting anything new out of it. It really just is three old games in one. If you like the games before then now you can just have them to travel with.

Good fighting game

Good day there. I have to say when I first played this game on my old PSP which was the original when it first came out, I was frustrated with the d-pad to perform the moves because most of the time, it wouldn't recognize the input at times. Now with my PSP-Slim I have to say this game is great now because the d-pad is better able to recognize the special moves and now I don't have to pray on the moves being performed.
The animation is nice and I have to say the soundtrack is awesome, I love the japanese voice-overs as well, giving the characters some nice personality. Overall, great game :)

Bad compilation of some so-so games

I think I bought this purely out of some nostalgic sense of duty, as the professional review I'd read of it was unflattering. I should have listened to the pros on this one. This game presents nothing new to anyone who's played a Darkstalkers game in the past, the graphics definitely don't come close to other titles available for the PSP (which tells me the developers don't even care about this product), and some of the button combos that you are required to punch through are near impossible to accomplish. All in all, the only challenge I got from playing this game was to get the characters to do their more advanced moves, but even without them I could still win through and beat the game. Total waste of hard earned money.

Nah

Wow,this is the first PSP game to be a sh@#,the graphics are horrible and well,in the game arcades is better to play for one token that to play this game for 40bucks,I think the arcades have better games than this one.This may be worth 10bucks or even less,but 40bucks for this is too much to ask.Do not buy this game if you have money to buy only one game,buy Need for Speed,Rengoku,Twisted Metal or wait till June or July.In June there is Coded Arms,Gran Theft Auto and more games and in July there is Death Jr.,so dont waste your money and buy a good game.

This is my favorite game for the PSP

This is my favorite game for the PSP. Along with Wipeout Pure and Twisted Metal. This is a very addictive game.The online isnt that great because no one's ever on. If you want a good online game go with Twisted Metal. If you want a web browser!!! go with Wipeout Pure. The fighting in this game is very good and its a great all around game.

Fun Game. Not Perfect, But Still A Lot Of Fun.

I've been a fan of Capcom 2-D fighters since I can remember. That being said, Darkstalkers was probably the best title to pick for a launch game. They get to tweak the system for any future 2-D releases (could a certain fighter with the initials S.F. be in the works? We can only hope), plus we get to play around and get a taste of what the PSP is capable of. True, the controls could be a little tighter, but they work just fine, especially for a handheld. Even better, link up with a friend and take turns beating the $^!& out of eachother (with no noticeable slowdown! It makes an hour on the life cycle go by so much faster). Are there better launch titles? Yes. Is this a must buy? Only if you are a fan of 2-D fighters, or want to link up with a buddy for instant gratification. Like all fighting games, the replay value comes when playing against other players.

A fun, fantastic looking fighter - only very slightly flawed.

Back in the early 1990s after Street Fighter II became a mega-hit, Capcom decided to use the basic SF II control layout and gamestyle to create other fighting games. The original Darkstalkers game was one of the spinoff titles, taking the familiar style and controls from SF II but replacing the characters and levels with vampires, goblins, demons and all kinds of far-out locals. Years later, after the franchise had been expanded through three sequels, Capcom decided to put togethor a sort of "best of" version of the game, combining the best elements of and all the characters from the four games that had already been released. The result was "Darkstalkers Chronicles" for the Dreamcast; unfortunately the game was never offically released in the U.S., until now. Darkstalkers Chronicles: The Chaos Tower is essentially a PSP version of the Dreamcast game, although the title has been tweaked slightly to keep the interest of gamers who were already familiar with the franchise. This title has beautiful graphics and more or less flawless gameplay. YES, the controls make it a bit difficult to pull-off special moves, but the core controls are just just fine, in fact they work just as well as they did on any home console. If you like fighting games, don't let the problem with the special moves deter you, this is a very worthwhile title for the PSP, especially at $25.

BORING
