Feature: The 21 Best PSP Games (Page 2 of 3)

Feature by Tracy Erickson | 03/24/2008 | 14:55:41 PM PST

Combining the best of the series and smashing it all together in one fantastic package is Burnout Legends, the ultimate in crash-tastic racers. The lack of online gameplay is a serious oversight, but there's still more than enough speeding tickets to earn and cars to crash in the satisfying single-player and local wireless modes.

13. Daxter

Daxter

Jak's obnoxious fur-ball friend finds himself a leading ottsel in one of the PSP's earliest hits. Although Daxter doesn't innovate much, it's the first handheld platform-action game to provide a true console experience with mouth-watering graphics and seamless gameplay.

12. Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow

Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow

Focusing more on action than stealth, Gabe Logan's second PSP adventure unquestionably tops the genre. Logan's Shadow surpasses Portable Ops in terms of control, even if it isn't as rich an experience. Don't let this gem get lost in Snake's shadow--one of the PSP's best.

11. SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Tactical Strike

SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Tactical Strike

The third SOCOM for the PSP ups the tactical element for more deliberate, thoughtful action perfect for portable play. An impressive array of features including online play, voice commands and chat, and an 11-mission single-player campaign easily make it best of the handheld series.

10. Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters

Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters

Fitting tools of destruction in your pocket can be difficult when you're going commando, but Size Matters makes it possible. The first portable outing for Ratchet and his robotic buddy Clank establishes a new standard for handheld action with top-notch graphics, a challenging story mode, and full online multiplayer. Adjusting to limited camera controls takes time, although it's a minor complaint in the face of big action on your little screen.

9. Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII

Phenomenal real-time battles and gorgeous graphics put Crisis Core among the most impressive handheld games around. Cameos from popular Final Fantasy VII characters make it a trip down memory lane, even though its innovative gameplay does much to differentiate it from other RPGs.

8. Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the WarLords

Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the WarLords

Tetris may have opened the way for portable puzzlers, but Puzzle Quest stands above the pack. Its unique combination of puzzle-solving and role-playing is like nothing else out there. Not only does it provide immense depth, but also makes the game incredibly addictive. +1 charisma for this PSP version thanks to a cleaner presentation, although the DS edition gets a special enchantment for intuitive touch controls. Anyway you put it, Puzzle Quest levels up handheld gaming as a must-own.
