Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower

Darkstalkers makes its debut on PSP!

Strengths: Looks stunning on PSP

Weakness: Questionable story

Darkstalkers holds a special place in my heart because it is one of the early fighters that I actually played. Now, Darkstalkers makes its debut on the PSP in time for launch. The controls are pretty good. The game is responsive to most of the moves I try to pull off and it was a concern of mine when purchasing this game. Rest assured, however, it plays nicely on the PSP. The sound is pretty...

Classic 2-D fighter for your handheld

Strengths: Incredible 2-D sprite graphics, Good gutiar rock sound

Weakness: Poor gameplay, not much lasting replay value

Capcom is one of the kings of 2-D fighters and Darkstalers for the Dreamcast was one of the best. This update for the PSP has great style and character graphics. About the best 2-D spites I have seen. The music is good also. But the controls in my opinion weren't as good as other fighters I've played. There aren't many times you will play this again on your PSP so it is limited in play value. The...

Great Game - Bad Controls By Default

Strengths: Graphics are perfect and so is the sound. The Chaos Tower is a cool mode that will require the player to learn a lot about the game.

Weakness: The controls.

This classic fighting game would have been perfect had Capcom spent more time play testing the controls for this game, which hold it back tremendously. The graphics looks spectacular on the PSP screen, stretched or not (when not stretched to fit the screen special borders are used to fill in the space), and the sound effects come out so clear and crips and bold. The lack of a color-edit mode like...

Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower

Strengths: Good port of excellent Dreamcast title

Weakness: Controls don't map well to PSP

While I'm not a big fan of fighting games I take it that the Dreamcast was THE machine for 2D fighters. This game is a ported 2000 Dreamcast title in which you can fight characters like Dracula and Frankenstein. The character designs are striking and the graphics excellent for a 2D fighter. In some respects, it is these excellent 2D games that we are getting now for the PSP and DS that make those...

Darkstalkers

Strengths: Good 2-d Fighter for the PSP - Graphics are pretty - Some tricks to keep the single player occupied.

Weakness: No widescreen support for a widescreened portable system!

I picked this game up for $10. I wasn't looking forward to a fighter on a portable system, because most of the fun of a fighting game is multiplayer. And since I don't have any friends with a PSP , it would be just me playing. However, I was pleasantly surprised with the Chaos Tower mode, where you pick 3 characters and then fight, sometimes with certain restrictions. This mixed it up a bit....

Darkstalkers Chronicle: The Chaos Tower (PSP)

Strengths: Awesome graphics. Fast gameplay. 5 game modes.

Weakness: None

This game was awesome. Being a Street Fighter player for many years, I found this title to be great. The Darkstalkers crew is back. Graphics were crisp. Sound was great. Easily, one of the best fighters for the PSP.

A worthy addition to the Darkstalker series

Strengths: Held the title of "best PSP fighter" for quite some time

Weakness: Will be dethroned by Guilty Gear

If you're looking for a worthwhile fighting experience for your PSP, Darkstalkers is the clear answer. It's basically the best fighter available for the system right now, but that doesn't say much. The main problem with the game is the control, which is more a problem with the PSP itself than with the game. In all it is one of the few PSP games worth owning.

darkstalkers

pretty good game, great art work cover. It is a fast paced fighting game so you can not go wrong there. The UMD casing is strong and the disc is well protected. Pretty good game for the PSP, i'd suggest picking it up for a deal.

Darkstalkers

Strengths: Graphics

Weakness: Controls

This game is like a port. A port from the Dreamcast version. For the controls, special moves are hard to do especially for combos also. Don't play too long or your thumb will get blisters. If anyone likes fighting games for a portable system, you might want to pick this up.

portable Darkstalker!

Strengths: includes every useable Darkstalker

Weakness: load time, no widescreen, lose control

Capcom brings this Darkstalker collection. This game has every single Darkstalker, and it is one of the better 2-D fighting collection. However this port is very sloppy. There is no widescreen mode, and the control is a bit lose. The loading time is also very annoying for a portable game. Those minor things really bring this game down.
