NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Phantasy Star Universe fans get to live/relive the
galaxy-spanning adventure on the portable confines
of the PSP this summer. Based on information from
Sega and Alfa System, the game touts the following
notable features:
» New single-player Story Mode and four-player
ad-hoc cooperative mode
» Over 1500 items, weapons, shields, and armor to
find and use
» Network data import from the PS2 and PC versions
of the game - please note that you must have a
Japanese PlaySEGA ID to utilize this feature.
» New mission downloads will be released
periodically
Upon starting a new game, you'll create a character by choosing a
Human, a Newman, a Cast (robot), or a Beast. Once
your race is selected, move the cursor down to
choose the sex. The option below that is for
customizing your character's skin tone, face, eye
color, eyebrows, ears, hairstyle, clothing, and
other distinguishing features. The next option
allows you to name the character and select a job
class from Hunter or Ranger Force. The fifth and
final option allows you to start the adventure.

NCS Game Notes
»
Note that the game is in Japanese and is not multi-language.
However, if you've played Phantasy Star Universe,
the same basic menu structure is used in PS
Portable.
The actual game itself is also very familiar if
you've invested time in the PC or Xbox 360 versions
of Phantasy Star Universe.
»
Voice acting accompanies the dialogue in the game.
»
Before embarking on the first mission, you'll have
to recruit two party members from the Hunter's
Guild. To do this, press the "START" button and a
series of icons will appear across the top left
portion of the screen. Highlight the fourth icon
from the left and press the "O" button. Two
characters will appear and they'll serve as your
first pair of cohorts.
»
Control is handled through the analog nub while the
d-pad manipulates the camera. When chaining attacks
together on a group of enemies, the action runs fast
and fluid with no noticeable slowdown to mar the
experience.
»
We think it's fairly impressive that Phantasy Star
Universe is on a portable handheld system. It's even
more impressive when the game looks and plays
faithfully to its big console brethren.
