  • Oct. 20, 2008 Review: Star Ocean: First Departure (PSP)

    Initially released in 1996 for the Super Famicon, the original Star Ocean was a groundbreaking debut for newly formed developer Tri-Ace. Both critics and fans praised the effort and it became evident that established role-playing franchises such as Final Fantasy and the Tales series suddenly had a new rival to compete with. Unfortunately, US gamers never got a chance to experience Star Ocean, a crime that's being rectified with the release of First Departure on the PSP. It's been twelve years but man was it worth the wait.

    THE BOTTOM LINE: The original Star Ocean finally comes to US shores and gamers on this side of the world are in for a fantastic RPG experience.
