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!

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.

Really good, Really funny, Really fun.

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!!

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!!!

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!

Great Humorous Fun

Medieval Resurrection for the PSP lets you play the hero Dan, now resurrected 100 years later to take on a hoard of zombies. It's cartoony rather than scary, and has a nice witty theme.

There's a great deal of humor in this story. It's not the usual bloody-zombies-with-chainsaw type of mature title. Instead, you're a rather cute zombie, out to save the universe from an evil wizard who has been working on his diabolical laughter. The game pokes fun at all of the standard take-on-the-baddies type of storyline.

The graphics are quite nice, with a three-D world of skeletons, ogres, rolling balls, rippling rivers and other dungeony areas to wander around. You don't have to worry about complex key combinations here. You bash the skeleton with a sword. Maybe you bash the skeleton with a club. Sometimes you charge full speed into the skeleton.

I found the three-Dness a bit much sometimes when you were trying to keep track of three enemies who had surrounded you, turning to take down the one that was half dead. The game does try to auto target for you and provide little glowing dots to help you keep on track. It probably depends on your gaming style if you enjoy the fast-swirl of the world, or whether you prefer something a little more stationary a la most Mario world platformers.

The sound was good - usually you don't have much demand for high quality, poignant sound in a platformer but on the other hand it wasn't an awful soundtrack that I hated.

Well recommended!

awesome =)

This game is great for the psp! The basics of this game are real easy to master, but combat is kinda hard due to powerful enemy attacks and poor defense. I just use cheat codes like press start and hold the R button while pressing down, up, square, triangle, triangle, circle, down, up, square, triangle. This saves you the trouble of your shield breaking. A new option should appear on the pause menu in any level; gain all weapons and immortality. This also affects your shield (only corn beasts in scarecrow field can take it away if you try to block them). Shields defend you, but can only take so much damage. Shields can be repaired for some cash... The graphics are awesome(duh!!it's the psp) fighting is more intense without any cheat codes, but I think it's more fun just to toy with them by using different weapons =P! There are many weapons which are all unlocked with the cheat code I told you about. Here are all of them if you're picky about weapon selection: one-handed weapons which can be used with a shield, wooden sword, short sword(not that short), hero's sword, club, throwing daggers, 250 daggers, battle axe, spear 30(like a javelin), lightning (magic), chicken drumstick 30; And the two handed weapons (shields can not be equipped) long sword(huge!!!!), magic sword(huge and fat), war hammer, woden's brand(sword and best melee weapon), crossbow 200 bolts(crossbow ammo), hero's crossbow 200 bolts, longbow 200 arrows, flaming long bow 100, flaming arrows(the bow is not on fire..), magic longbow, 50 magic arrows. Is that enough weapons for you?!?! Another weapon is your skeleton arm. There are three types of shields: bronze shield, silver shield, gold shield. There are a good variety of enemies. The levels are all different in there own way. Please note this game's action is partly taken away by a poor screen and problem solving in some levels. I suggest walkthroughs online such as the scarecrow field -- a retarded level that shouldn't have been put into the game!!! They have good jokes in this game, good slightly creepy music(you are a dead hero fighting zombies and other monsters) and great looking backgrounds. Overall, this is a fun game for kids around 8+ because of the problem based levels. The enemies are there merely to add some skill into the game. It's worth paying $[...]!

Medievil madness!!

Playing this game takes a person back to the old PS1 version. If you have played the PS1 version and loved it like I do, and are left wanting more, then here is your answer.(Medievil 2 doesn't count, it sucked) This game covers the old with many new twists and turns. Some levels were deleted but other new ones were added. There is a new character or two, but sadly there are a few missing. If you hope to see the maze level you will be dissapointed, but you will see a carnival with many irritating and awesome mini games. Voice overs are changed, and the new gargoyles sound Ridiculous, but not bad enough to take a star away. All in all if you like Medievil for PS1 you are gonna like this one.
