    It's not one of the most striking games i have ever played and it certainly gets boring after a short while. There is almost nochange when you level up, and you never get the satisfaction of killing everything on the map. Diablo 2 is better.

    Fun for a while but can get old. A Baldur's Gate/Champions of Norrath type game which holds up because it's the only rpg of any sort available for the PSP right now. Good for long trips and whiling away the hours, but trade-up as soon as a better rpg is released.

    Eh, nothing new here, repetitive. Worth playing only if you know some other people that own it. But the graphics have to be seen to be believed.

    Good graphics, decent sounds and I find the loading screens pretty bearable. Unlike some, I found the stat building that goes with leveling quite rewarding. You choose from 4 character classes, and depending how you build, you could have 2 very different characters even though they may be the same class. The quests do all seem the same: Go through a dungeon, kill a boss. As others have Good graphics, decent sounds and I find the loading screens pretty bearable.

It's not bad. Maybe not the first game you should buy, but definitely worth it.… Expand

    definitely a cool game considering you can hold it in your hand, the graphics are awsome. it is similar to Diablo but not quite as long. The only drawback is that after a while the levels are kind of repetive, but there is still a lot of game play in it.

    Ok let me start by saying this.........this game is good to have when you have other friends that also own the game and can play with you whenever you want to just have fun.Otherwise this game is almost a waste of money in buying it. Here is an example of a battle: omg! its a boss monster! (whatever shall i do?) i guess ill just have to press the x button 200 times and then use my awesomeOk let me start by saying this.........this game is good to have when you have other friends that also own the game and can play with you whenever you want to just have fun.Otherwise this game is almost a waste of money in buying it.

YAY that biatch is dead! That is the perfect example of EVERY battle that you WILL encounter in playing this game. This game would probably appeal to small children who are interested in playing VERY simple games… Expand

    Good arpg, but not super hence the 7 rating.
    Good hack & slash, but environments are a bit too generic.
    So playing for long might get boring after awhile.

    I remember playing this game back in 2006, and now after completing it and trying to run through every dungeon I'm ready to give it 5/10 for dreadful repetitiveness/backtracking of the game. AND AWFUL music. (bad economy, super budget "scene" staging

    Absolutely mediocre. I played it because i had nothing better to play when the PSP was released.

    It's a solid first-wave title, while the awesome 3D engine and multiplayer game makes it a truly new experience in the portable arena. Let's just hope the next legend that SOE tells has more surprises.

    Does a fair job of showing off the PSP's technical prowess. As a fairly straightforward hack-and-slash RPG, Untold Legends fits the bill. Just don't expect it to match the bliss that is "Diablo II."

    There's not much enthusiasm in Untold Legends. This leaves a game that, while hitting most of the necessary bullet points, is just going through the motions.
