so we finally got PS1 games today! (hurrah)


no syphon filter (grrrr).. but i did pick up Crash Bandicoot, Wipeout and Jumping flash..


so here is a quick review on the three in case anyone out there wants to buy them from the US or JP or even the UK PSN store. but havent because you just dont know if its worth the price, hassle or if PS1 on the PSP is 'really' worth it.

Crash Bandicoot: better than i remembered! lol, the graphics are a lot better than i thought they would be, in fact (dare i say this)..but if a budget game made for psp looked like this, i would be happy. it plays like it did on the ps1..gameplay and playability wise its the very same! it plays well, if not a lil too easy so far. its a good game, a very good game.
8/10 for me!

Wipeout: after playing crash i had high expectations for this, and its not like i was disappointed but it wasnt the wow factor that crash was. the controls are as stiff as they were on the original. if anyone here remembers Wipeout2097, the controls were significatntly improved over the original. Still, i have to say that after getting used to the controls the feeling of wipeout was back! i do love the game, and even tho its not as good as 2097 or the psp incarnation.. is it worth the price? yeh! graphic wise its good.. again the psp makes it looks pretty good, no false memories here. its still a good looking game.
I would rate it 7/10

Jumping Flash.. weird or what! i never played this on the PS1, so i come to this fresh, and i really like it. DK also loved it and apparently he says that its as good as he remembers on the psp as it was on the PS1. which is a good thing, because i went and read reviews for this on some old ps1 sites, and JF was a highly rated game at the time. It was one of the first to grace the PS1, it also outstriped many games that came later in the PS1's life.
so.. youre a (or at least travelling in) a big robotic rabbit called Robbit, and in this FPS you bounce around and shoot giant frogs in arena type lands! while collecting things and having lasers and rockets and ..and... erm, brilliant, my type of game. I cant describe it, its rather unique.
plays well, looks great. I would rate it 7/10

you must also note that in all these games you can press the HOME button and change the settings like disk load speed, view (as in original, normal, zoom or full screen modes).. you can alter the blackness of the game too. some great options, with manuals to go with the games.

I will post my first impressions here of any new PS1 to PSP game that i can get from the PSN, if you dont agree with what I say or want to add something, feel free... this is an open forum after all, i want to hear what you guys think!






anyone got Socom2? w00t.. now theres a game!!
