    This is awesome as Diablo series in PC. Like most of SOE games, Untold legends shows enough what hack'n slash is. Just buy and play. You'll know.

    For a portable game, it has all the elements you want in a hack & slash. It does fine justice to the RPG genre who are all about mass spiders, pick-ups and monsters. It's a bit hard to figure out where you are, but at least your areas to cover aren't Everquest-large.

    I give it an 8.5 rounding up to a 9. The game is just plain great. Basically, if you were a fan of either Diablo & Diablo 2, or Champions of Norrath for PS2, you'll like this game. It adds elements of both games, all the parts of which I enjoyed. The skill tree setup holds the same ideals as both sets of games, as well as the way you distribute stat points. The gameplay is fluid, and I give it an 8.5 rounding up to a 9. The game is just plain great.

The gameplay is fluid, and it's great to see a nice D2 style game finally rendered in nice resolution 3d. The fire/ice/death effects are cool additions to the game, and really show off the capability of the system. Not to mention it's all in the palm(s) of your hand! So because SOE found a way to stick a ton of great features into a fluid launch title... 9.0 Pick up this game... It's certainly worth the money, and you won't be disappointed in this handheld title. Can't wait to see where the games go on this system, as they can only get better.… Expand

    Just look at the difference between the "professional" reviews and the user reviews. User reviews average around 9 while the pros give it around 6? That is all you need to know. I have 9 of the PSP launch titles and have played them all. This game is by far the best! Seriously, it is as much fun as Diablo was on the PC. Graphics are great. Music is wonderful.

    Love it! Not as cool as diablo, but it adds a nice, good ol' fashioned butt-kicking element to the PSP!

    while i dont agree with the low ratings from all the game sites, BOTB does lack in some areas. its just about as fun as diablo but a combination of both Diablo II and BOTB would rock. graphics are great and gameplay is fun and not too simple. i would have prefered more traditional classes like mage instead of alchemist, with more traditional mage spells. i hoped for more skills but while i dont agree with the low ratings from all the game sites, BOTB does lack in some areas. its just about as fun as diablo but a combination of both Diablo II and BOTB would rock. graphics are great and gameplay is fun and not too simple. i would have prefered more traditional classes like mage instead of alchemist, with more traditional mage spells. i hoped for more skills but i'm not dissapointed so far. i think if it was more of a Diablo II clone i would have gave it a ten. i really miss treasure hunting in diablo II, while its pretty easy to find really good gear, the gear itself isnt as fun to find as diablo gear and i'm slightly dissapointed by the lack of different looking armors. i would also wish for the camera to be slightly more angled. even with all my complaints, this is a good PSP title to get regardless of all the game site reviews. so far i've played ridge racer, NFSU, twisted metal, and NFL street. to be honest i enjoyed them all pretty equally including UL BOTB. its worth the 40 + bucks.… Expand

    First game I picked up with the PSP. I'm just blown away with the capabilites. So moving from GBA to PSP there is no comparison. With Untold Legends I was able to get my fix on RPG/Hack and Slash while travelling in a plane. I love the addictive gameplay. I don't care what type of ratings it's getting.

    HEY! Let's talk turkey. Will this game change your life? No. But...if you ever enjoyed the Baldur's Gate series (on consoles) or Champions or Norrath or even Diablo 1 or 2, then you WILL enjoy this game. A lot. It's got a lot of action, an interesting story and plenty of magic items to kit your customizable warrior out with. And here's something that the reviewers HEY! Let's talk turkey.

    What a wonderful game it was! Since I have found other games could not play for long, such as some of Racing games,but it did! It will use lots of your time to play but I think it worth. I was the fans of Diablo and like such ARPG genre so much.

    I just finished the game or at least finished all of the quests I think and enjoyed it very much. Couldn't put it down. I wish Sony offered online multiplayer for this like Diablo.

    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.
