    An ok game, good things about it: the story is good and could work a little better if the game was a little different, bad things about it: the combat isn't very fun just standing there shooting can be fun, but not in this case, but there's only so much you can do with a system. Btw the graphics are good as well as the interface. It could be better if it was designed around the story fromAn ok game, good things about it: the story is good and could work a little better if the game was a little different, bad things about it: the combat isn't very fun just standing there shooting can be fun, but not in this case, but there's only so much you can do with a system.

    The best indicator of whether a given gamer will appreciate Black Rock Shooter is its visual style. The game offers moderately entertaining combat and sad girls in snow, but these can be obtained elsewhere at a fraction of the aggravation. At its core, the story is a familiar one that isn't able to justify its retelling with a new twist. There is something to be said for a game that embraces zoning out and rhythmically blowing things up, but it's not always a straight-up compliment. Look, but don't touch.

    There are better RPGs on the system, but for fans and those looking for something a little different, Black Rock Shooter will hit the spot for a while.

    Basic gameplay, a by-the-numbers story, and graphics from a bygone era leave this PSP port stuck between a rock and a really outdated place. [July 2013, p.100]
