I bought my PSP simply because GTA Vice City came out for the PSP. That and I have to travel a lot. And there's nothing better than sitting in cattle class and shooting random people in the street in GTA to get the aggressions out.

But as time has gone on, I've bought other games for my PSP and requested this one for the holidays after reading some favorable reviews. And this game is great. Like the other reviewers, it's got a Diablo-like feel to it. (assuming you've wasted a lot of your life on Diablo like I have) This is a great dungeon crawl and I'm really enjoying it way too much. The graphics are great. The music is awesome. Not all characters have voices which is fine. The animation is smooth. The only problem that I have is that sometimes the load times are long. Can't have everything though. I highly recommend this!

Does DS:ToA have the depth of a true RPG? Of course not, although it's tough to pull that off in a handheld game -- I will wait for Oblivion or D&D:Tactics to see if that formula will work successfully on a handheld. But what DS:ToA succeeds at smashingly is being a ton of fun to play. I commute to a different state by train weekly and this game is the perfect fix for just killing time -- just enough role playing to keep you working towards that next level-up for an hour or two, but not so complex that you feel a massive mental commitment is required to play. The controls are simple, the graphics are great for a handheld, and the gameplay is stellar. At times the game slows down my PSP a touch, and I've had to reboot once. But mostly it works smoothly and is a great and enjoyable diversion.

RPG at it's best so far on handhelds

This game has a good, interesting story. The Graphics are good, good spell effects, characters clothes and weapons change on screen when you change them in inventory{which is a picky thing, but very big}, and some decent monster designs. The controls are very easy to learn, and streamline the experience. A.I. is decent, and your summoned "followers" are good, but maybe could be fine tuned. Overall it's very fun, and the involving story will keep you til the end, and co-op should make a 2nd visit worthy.

Great game. Amazing production

This game is excellent and well produced:
It has a terrific story that keeps unfolding. The visuals are strong and appealing and complex. The characters clothes changes with each item (weapon, armour, accessory, etc) it acquires (there are hundreds of items). The character is well developed. It has charateristics that can change as you develop. There are dozens of types of characters to fight.

Before Dungeon Seige, Lord of the Rings was my favourite game. I tried at least 10 other games since Lord of the Rings before I found this one that I found to be just as engaging. Highly Reccomended.

WOW!!!

I bought this game a few days ago without knowing anything about it or any of DS game and I'm very impressed with the level (and quality) of the detail. This game is leaps and bounds better than any other game of its kind for the PSP to-date. I compare the graphics quality to that of Samurai Warriors: State of War, which is a very good thing. I enjoy the leveling process as well. There are tons of items to find including weaponry, potions, armor, jewelry, and quest items. Plus they even gave us incantation shrines to help boost abilities for a short period before each big quest. The gameplay is very simple and fun and leveling is quite easy to do and you can do it on the fly as you're playing by simply pressing the Select button. If you don't have this game already you need to go out and get it today!

More of the same, but that's just fine with me...

If you like the pc Dungeon Siege, you'll like this game. It's pretty spot on. The environments are above what I've seen thus far for the psp in this genre, the controls are easy to learn and customizable, and the music/sfx are fantastic. The only thing I miss from the original series is the variety of spells that drop from slain creatures. Instead, a predetermined list of abilities/spells is earned through levelling up. However, you still get a plethora of armor/weapons to outfit your character.
I have to say the quality of this game goes beyond being good "for a handheld" and holds its own as a legitimate title regardless of platform.

Classic Dungeon Siege

CRPG's do not need to be innovative. The basic concept of "run from place to place to get cool stuff for my avatar and give him or her cool abilities" has worked since Wizardry and Bard's Tale. That's fortunate, because Throne of Agony does not offer innovation. What it does have is many, many hours of hack-and-slash gameplay in a surprisingly large world for a handheld game. The interface allows considerable control of your character's inventory, stats, and gameplay; and the graphics look quite good considering the platform.

If you already know that you enjoy this style of gameplay, then there is no reason not to buy Throne of Agony. It will give you a polished, fun fix of "just a few more skeletons and I get my level" gameplay.

awesome.

This is a great build your character up game. Not to difficult, but alot of running around going on to level up, good story line.

Awesome Game

This is a great game. It's not hard to play straight from the box. Learning curve is very low if you have played the pc model. And not to hard if you haven't

Great RPG game!
