Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable

The third in Atlus' unusually thought-provoking RPG series. In Persona 3, you play as a 17 year-old boy who's just transferred schools. Immediately after entering his dormitory, he comes under attack of a mysterious Shadow enemy. With his unique ability to switch Personas rather than just summoning a single creature, he ends up becoming leader of a special extracurricular force attempting to defeat Shadow.

Players get to experience school life in Persona 3. You take control of the main character during each day of school, controlling his school efforts, managing the dorm, and exploring the town, and your relationship with the community affects your battle skills. When the clock turns midnight, the world enters "Shadow Time", and the battles begin. Emerge victorious from a battle, and you earn new Persona Cards. These cards hold your Persona summons, and by combining cards, you can make a new Persona.

The PSP features include additional characters, events and relationships, more difficulty levels and the ability to directly issue commands to your allies.

Ratings for Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable

Rating Description
7.5
Presentation The static navigation screens and lack of cutscenes make you feel less involved in the game, but the story and characters are still interesting and strong.
7.5
Graphics The visuals are pretty enough and the battle models are good. There’s nothing too crazy going on, but everything’s solid.
8
Sound Catchy (but at times repetitive) tunes and some really good voice work.
8.5
Gameplay Building relationships that influence your stats, battling Shadows and playing an in-game MMORPG are all good times.
9
Lasting Appeal A Persona 3 playthrough isn’t short, and then there’s the brand new character to play as and different choices to make.
