Retro Review: Jumping Flash!
File Size: 269MBPrice: $5.99Developed By: ExactPublished By: Sony Computer Entertainment of AmericaOriginal Release Date: November 1995Short ReviewRecommended. Although the original Jumping Flash! came out over a decade ago, it manages to feel innovative and fresh. The grainy, antiquated graphics do no harm to the fun, vibrant atmosphere of the game, filled with great music and fun character. The game is simply a blast, and one can only hope that a modern-day sequel will be made. The limited save system is annoying for gamers on the go, but those with time to kill will easily find Jumping Flash! to be the best downloadable PSone game so far.
Retro Review: Tekken 2
File Size: 534MBPrice: $5.99Developed By: NamcoPublished By: NamcoOriginal Release Date: September 15, 1996Short ReviewNot Recommended. Tekken 2 unfortunately shows its age. There's a great deal of gameplay to be discovered in this treasured arcade classic, but the advances made by Tekken: Dark Resurrection are so significant that it's difficult to appreciate the technical shortcomings of Tekken 2. Gamers will have to choose if they'd rather spend $6 for a great classic game, or $40 for an even better modern one.PSP Fanboy Retro Review: 5.5 out of 10See all Retro Reviews.
Retro Review: Hot Shots Golf 2
File Size: 157MBPrice: $5.99Developed By: Clap HanzPublished By: Sony Computer Entertainment of AmericaOriginal Release Date: February 29, 2000Short ReviewRecommended. For better or for worse, the golf genre's lack of significant evolution makes Hot Shots Golf 2 an incredibly worthwhile purchase. The graphics have aged very well, and the quick load times make this $6 purchase just as worthwhile as other fully priced modern golf games.
Retro Review: Crash Bandicoot
File Size: 467MBPrice: $5.99Developed By: Naughty DogPublished By: Sony Computer Entertainment of AmericaOriginal Release Date: September 3, 1996Short ReviewRecommended. Crash Bandicoot, in some ways, becomes a better game on the PSP than it was on the classic console back in the day. The graphics look sharp on the small screen, and the simplistic gameplay is ideal for gamers on the go. However, expect frustration due to a confusing and outdated save system and some touchy controls.
