2009 was a good year for the PSP, at least compared to its previous years, to me 2009 gave the PSP the kick in the crotch it needed software wise. So for those who want to compare lists or find great games they missed out, the top PSP games of 09:
1. Final Fantasy Dissidia
2. LittleBigPlanet
3. Resistance Reribution
4. Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days
5.Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Honorable Mentions: Tekken 6, Half Minute Hero, Pixel Junk Monsters Deluxe, Motorstorm Arctic Edge
1. Final Fantasy Dissidia
Final Fantasy Dissidia is in my opinion the best fighting game on PSP to date. The fighting system is extremely unique and works well. It has a huge amount of content and the RPG elements are the best addition. They keep you coming back for more and make you feel rewarded. With other great features and ability to play over Ad Hoc and Ad Hoc party. The game is a must purchase for Final Fantasy fans and fighting game fans.
2.LittleBigPlanet
A great port of last year’s critically acclaimed hit, LittleBigPlanet Portable managed to carry on the sackboy legacy by having plenty of new story levels to enjoy and lots of new prize bubbles to find. The story levels are just as creative as the PS3 counter part. While multiplayer was lost in the transition, the online functions are still strong and the create mode is just as fun to use. If you did’nt get a chance to play the PS3 game, I highly recommend this game.
3. Resistance Retribution
Taking a different spin on the Resistance franchise, the game delivers a great third-person shooter experience. The game boasts a thrilling single player experience and a solid multiplayer experience both online and offline. With a great lock on system combined with its cover system, the game is a great shooter.
4. Disgaea 2:Dark Hero Days
Not too much to say about this game. If you didn’t enjoy the first one, this definitely won’t change your mind, but it just builds on the first game. It has a quirky story with some odd dialogue and plain strange cast of characters, but it also has a very deep strategy system which fans will love. One of the best strategy games out on the system.
5. Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
Its just the same great game the DS had to offer, nothing wrong with that as the DS game was fantastic as it was. With the graphics redone and a few side missions added to the game, it’s a welcome port to the PSP’s library. A fun GTA with a great story and great segments. I personally had more fun on this game than GTA IV at times.
