Great Humor, Great Graphics, Great Gameplay, and Great controls all add up to make this latest PSP title one of the best games i've bought for a system that looks like its finally getting its legs.

Back in March I purchased a brand new PSP in america and since then i've had many problems, and many fantastic and awesome memories. Originally the psp was a simple machine, playing mp3's, mpeg4's and save games from its crappy 32mb memory stick. it had stale backgrounds that changed every month and other than that, not much going on for it. I finally broke down and got a gig stick. then it was much more fun! i could put full length movies or hours of music on it. but something was always missing, a great and addictive game.
The only one i had found that i found myself playing the most was Untold Legends, which is an almost flawless game, however, it was quite stale in its art direction. i had picked up other games as they came out, Archer Mcleans' Mercury, which is a fun puzzle-ish game but wears on you enough that you can only play it in short intervals. Coded Arms, a solid FPS by Konami that was graphically awesome, with some well thought out controls, but suffered from the same stale art direction that Untold Legends had. Finally i will mention the game i originally bought the system for, Metal Gear Acid, which although wasn't a dissapointment, it left me still lacking for a true all-encompasing game, something that wasn't limited with its cut-scenes, something that would pull me in and force me to stay there and never want to take a break.

I'll say i'm glad i stuck out the wait on the PSP, after the international and then subsequent North American release of PSP firmware 2.0, complete with web-browser, wallpaper, Bmp's in addition to JPG's and the most important feature, the AVC codec for video files (the same compression used on the UMD movies that you buy for the psp).

Now they finally released a really good game.

Medievil Resurrection is a sort-of rerelease (this is second hand news to me, i missed the original run of Medievil on the PSone) with new mini-games that are funny and addictive, a graphics overhaul (it is essentially no different than playing a ps2 game) fully restored cutscenes and i've heard that some levels are expanded more than in its original release. From its colorful and sweet cinematic openings, to its hillarious one-liners (the unforgetable narrator's musing over the opening level "Dan's Crypt") and many other treats, this is the first time i've had the feeling that i have a game that the PSP is made FOR, instead of "a game for the psp"

if you have the original and also own a PSP, i would say go ahead and buy this again! seriously. why not! its not every day you get a really good reissue,(like Metal Gear Solid: the Twin Snakes-for gamecube another excellent reissue) so go reimurse yourself into Sir Daniel Fortesque's armor and swing his arm at Zarok a few more times on the go!

Its back

MediEvil is back into a portable gaming system.This game is very good,it has the same places of MediEvil 1,but some changes. There are new enemies,new characters, new story-line.If you played MD 1,you'll think its the same story and stuff.But when you keep playing,you'll figure out that its different.Its a pretty good game,with good story.There's a little problem,it is that when the characters talk,there are no subtitles so if you didnt hear well then tough luck.But everything is well made,the action is awesome,and the graphics are much better than MD 1 and 2,if you like spooky medieval games then buy this I assure you you'll like it and wont regret buying it.The one thing I think thats a little boring its that the big enemie,the big boss is always Zarrock.

What a game!

MediEvil Ressurection is a fun, addictive game. Read description above to get story, you don't need to hear it again from me. The genie that lives in Dan's head is hilarious. The plot is simple. The game play is not too hard to figure out. But the corky commentary and awesome graphics keep you coming back for more. It was a little hard for me to try to move Dan to kill the monsters. It's not too bad though.
I would like to make one last comment on the plot. Although I said before that it's not too complicated don't be scared away from this game! It's great!

Awesome

I bought this becuase it was the only game they had (I'm in the desert right now). I was very surprised. The gameplay is real easy to pick up, and the puzzles are hard enough to keep you in the game but not so hard to make you quit. I was really addicted to this one.

Great game, yet with some drawbacks..

I really think this so far is the best the PSP has to offer. It is easy to pick up and play, and has wonderful humor, and clear graphics. I really enjoyed the music in this game, which is excellent for a hand-held game. My only complaint is that the targeting sytem and camera are near-impossible to control, but other than that, this game is a must have!

Not bad from a hack nslash and platformer fan.

This is no platformer. It does not have enough variety for that. Pretty much go from level to level killing the bad guys in a very pretty setting with different weapons with similar killing powers. It is not good enough to be a great hack-n-slash game like Lord of the rings. This is an average game that could have been great if some decent variety had been included. Bottom line: As it stands pick it up used if you have to have a slasher game. Otherwise wait for something better to come along.

Great First Game

With it's dazzling graphics, entertaining gameplay, and playful tone, MediEvil Resurrection easily poises itself as a great first game to pick up for your PSP. From the moment the menu launched, I fell in love with this game. The graphics are superbly done, and the characters and environments are great. The game doesn't take itself too seriously, and there is great, playful banter between the characters.

The problems do emerge in the form of poor target tracking with ranged weapons, as well as odd camera angles (at very inoportune times). Even with these setbacks, the game is not that difficult, and can be enjoyed with a minimal amount of frustration.

The Teen rating is accurate, as the game does have some very minor language, as well as the violent nature. It is not, however, a graphic bloodfest like some of the games out there. Rather, it's level of action is presented in a comedic manner. Most parents can probably feel quite comfortable letting their teen play this game.

In short, I felt like this was an outstanding game. While the camera does pose its problems at times, it in no way warrants some of the lower review ratings that can be found on the internet. I would recommend this game to kids of most ages as one to pick up and enjoy.

Great Game

This game is a fun game. I have 3 games for the PSP and i liked this one the Best. You can only get most of the weapons from the hall of fame and when you get the chalice and kill the enemies up to 100%. It is a fun game and is funny. But the game is a little too easy. Maybe it is because I have the best weapon. It can keep you playing for up to 5 hours with the mini games to get Woden's Brand. Overall it is fun and i would really recommend it.

Frickin SWEET!!!

I've played medievil on Playstation, But Medievil Resurrection is the perfect game for the psp, I do not remember any humor of medievil one, but in this medievil, The humor is off the scale! I love the genie in Dan's head! They also changed the statue guys, in the first one, they were supposed to be scary...but in this one...It's kinda cool looking and cute.

Anyways, with the better graphics, cool puzzles, and ripping the sombies arms and legs off...This game is the most extreme!!
