| Summary: FF lite

When I first got my PSP I was one on the people whining for an RPG. I got so deperate that I even bought Untold Legends. UL was defeintely NOT my kind of RPG. I love Asian RPG's like the Final Fantasy (FF) series from Square Enix. FF 7 and FF X are two of my favorite games. Kingdom of Paradise is an Asian style RPG set in a mythical Orient. It is the job of your character to stop the takeover of all clans by a rival clan called the Kirin. Of course that is just the tip of the iceberg. You have the power of Sword Arts and Chi (Elemental Energy) Arts at your diposal.
KoP's controls are very simple and easy to master. I normally hate action RPG's beacause I'm very picky about how I equip and set up my characters for battle. I really got into the real time battle system that KoP sports. Also, you can pause during battle and change configuration at anytime, so that helps. The combination of martial (sword) arts and chi (magic energy) arts makes fights fun. Nothing is more important to me than an RPG story and KoP has a very compelling story with characters that you care about. The game has very fluid animation with vibrant scenary, have not yet seen a slowdown and the cutscenes are very nice as well. The game has never frozen on me (crosses fingers) and it comes back perfectly when you turn the system off and on again later. I never tested this with a dead battery though.
The world map they give you is not the best. You can get a general idea of where you headed but since you have no compass, it can be hard knowing with direction you are going in. The mini map however is lot more useful in getting you where you need to go. KoP is a short RPG. not sure how long since I'm only 10 hours in. But I've read 15-20 hours. For people that have other games they'd like to play, this may be a plus. It would be nice if some of the NPC's could give a few more hints then you get stuck.
For $39 US, you can't go wrong with this one. If the budget is tight, try renting it. Highly recommended.

Nice review. I was wondering about this. So is this import only? I don't like importing, never have, probably never will.

This is no longer an import (in the USA at least). It has been translated and hit the US a few weeks ago. I bought my copy at FYE and I've seen it at Target and EB games as well.
