DESCRIPTION

Star Ocean: Second Evolution tells the tale of two unlikely heroes, from two different worlds, whose adventuresome encounters with demons, ancient sorcery, and science fiction temper the fate of the known universe. As Star Ocean: First Departure remade the original Japanese Star Ocean game for PlayStation Portable, Second Evolution is a complete PSP-rebuild of Star Ocean: The Second Story, Enix's first North American release for the original PlayStation console. Beginning 20 years after the incidents of the first game, the son of a hero is mysteriously transported to a planet of magic, where he assumes the hopes of an ancient prophecy to bring Light to the land. The classically styled RPG is still played mostly from a third-person isometric perspective, but now features sharper graphics, animated movies, new character designs, voiced dialogue, and a widescreen presentation custom-made for the PSP screen. Built on the same engine that runs First Departure, the game's control scheme is also custom-designed for PSP. ~ T.J. Deci, All Game Guide

Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP) by: Roxas-UrBoxas

“Read my write-up on Star Ocean the second story... I won't say much different. The reason why I gave this a higher rating is because of the fact that it's portable, which makes it a lot more fun for me to play at work or on the bus. I actually...”

“So, about average, then?”

“Although I dislike the fact that it took THIRTY MINUTES between one save point and the next, this game is cute. I get to play as a blue-haired elf chick, which is fun. I just think if something's...”

Star Ocean: Second Evolution (PSP) by: Clawfy

“I only just started the new PSP version and I was over whelmed by all the add extras. For example, voice acting and character portraits. I was almost brought to tears when I saw how wonderful the port was. This is by far one of the greatest games!”
