Riviera The Promised Land

If you are interested in Rivera, this is good. He said the graphics and voices were better than the GBA version, but he liked the soundtrack less.

Graphics: 7.5/10 PSP > GBA -- The graphics of Riviera are simple, a throwback to the days of sprite-based RPGs. That said, the graphics are very well done. Though the animation and details of the sprites of the characters and enemy are simple, they are well done. The environments of the game are very simple backdrops, but again they are very well made. What really makes the game pop graphic-wise, however, are the CG animations and the character portraits. They are in an anime-style, and very well made, helping to you picture the story in your head, instead of leaving you to wonder what's really going on in that 2D world.

i like the story line and the plot but the only reason i wouldnt give it a five star rating is because of how hard it is to skill up. Once you've skilled up with all your weapons its hard to come across new weapons.

well this game is a total let down because it is so easy and there are no cinematic scence just all pictures, but funny how it is dialogue through out the game though. it is a pretty straight forward game and no need a strategy guide or so whatever. i was disappointed with this game and expectly a game with a map to explore, but instead, the game proceed one scence after another. i won't pay over 20 dollars for this game, but guess what it's too late.

A while ago, my friend told me to try this game. Well, now I've tried it (well, the PSP version, not the GBA!) and I am VERY impressed with it. The leveling system and the overall game is very different from traditional RPGs, so enjoy this unique and awesome game!
