MODERATORS
Brave Story is a great RPG that doesn't overstay it's welcome and that I've enjoyed a lot. The enemy design was what really got me into it at the time, but the fun story and quality of life features kept me going
Nobody mentioned Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. That's pretty much kh1/2 off ps2 except on a handheld. Super cool and replayable game.
There's a disturbing lack of Phantasy Star Portable 1 & 2 in this thread.
Also want to second Rock Band Unplugged because it has similar gameplay to the ps2 game Amplitude.
I still have my PSP on my desk, on who knows how many battery replacements. I come back for:
- Burnout Legends
- Locoroco
- Lumines & Lumines II
- N+
- Echochrome
- Guilty Gear XX
I’m not going to lie even when it was brand new I thought the PSP’s graphics were lame for 3D games and never wanted one. But it might have been the prevalent art style.
There's a huge gap between the PSP & the PS2 in terms of 3D graphics. For handheld though, the PSP did its best
Z.H.P. Unlosing Ranger VS Darkdeath Evilmaniis a really good rogue like, that actually plays like rouge (the original game), but has a lot of nice gameplay additions, a crazy anime story, permanent upgrades and enough depth to stay interesting
Awesome, I was also going to say Z.H.P. They did end up making a PC port finally which is on Steam which is pretty solid.
I always had a great time with Field Commander. Before my PSP broke it was basically the only game I played.
SW:BF2 was also really nice because the autoaim made it a really nice power fantasy.
Now I want to play it again. Anyone know a good PSP emulator?
No one ever talks about it, but Ratatouille game on psp was really fun, seemed superior to the home console versions in terms of fun
PATA PATA PATA PON!
Play patafour! (I was once a major maintainer! It's a bit abandoned now but if any souls wanna help it's ripe for the taking)

Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters.
Played through that sucker more times than I care to admit to.

Yeah, Monster Hunter Freedom Unite was probably also the game I spent most time on my PSP.
It depends on what games you like, but I loved Persona 3 Portable and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep.
If you liked Monster Hunter, you could also try God Eater. It is a really gold Monster Hunter Like with a good story!

Original games - LocoRoco Midnight Carnival, Crisis Core Final Fantasy VII, Daxter, Trails in the Sky trilogy, LittleBigPlanet PSP, Silent Hill Origins, MGS Peace Walker, Gran Turismo... Remasters/ports: SMT Persona 2 Innocent Sin, Lunar SSSC, Breath of Fire III, Tales of Eternia (all of these games are JRPG, and all of them are the best version of these games in my opinion), Crazy Taxi, Prince of Persia games, Tomb Raider games...

Final Fantasy Dissidia duo decim and Crisis Core were the only games I really enjoyed on the PSP.
Dissidia is probably the best Final Fantasy game no one remembers anymore
Yeah, I played Crisis Core, VII-IX and GoW on mine a lot. I may have even had a Jax and Dexter on it? I can’t remember. It was wild to me that I could play my final fantasy games on it.
I never owned a PSP, but tried a few in an emulator. Really missed out on a fantastic device and game library. I think there are some obvious famous games that many recommend, as such
- Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7
- God of War - Ghost of Sparta
- Grand Theft Auto Liberty/Vice City Stories
- Lumines
- Metal Gear Acid / Peace Walker / Portable Ops Plus
- Monser Hunger Freedom Unite
- Persona 2 Innocent Sin
- Ratchet and Clank Size Matters
Also kind of ports I think, maybe new games in series, I'm not sure. But just able to play these on a portable device is awesome:
- Gran Turisomo
- Littlle Big Planet
- MotorStorm: Arctic Edge
- OutRun 2006 - Coast 2 Coast
- Tekken 6
I didn't play much on PSP yet. Following are also interesting:
- Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
- Hot Shots Golf
- Jeanne d'Arc
- R-Type Command
- Tekken - Dark Resurrection
- Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins
- WipEout Pure
And the list goes on and on. This was an awesome handheld.

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness
Technically, the PSP version is called Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness as it has added content and a few QoL changes. Agreed on it being great though.
Thanks, I felt something was off with that title. Just searched for Disgaea PSP and that's what came up.
