Prinny - Can I really Be the Hero?
System - PsP
Rating - Depends on your gaming type
To be completely honest, as this game itself will tell you, it is meant for very traditional gamers. The creators of the Disgea series - Nippon Ichi Software - did a bit of research and found out roughly 65% of their cash was coming from older gamers who played Disgea for the humor and the dificulty of the endgame. As such, Prinny came to be.
Imagine starting a game and having it start you off with 1000 lives. That is correct, 1000 lives. However, unless your an old-school platformer (the tricks they play are as horribly mean as they can), those lives mean nothing. 1 hit, 1 life loss. Every stage has a boss. Every boss can 1-shot you. Every enemy can 1-shot you. Every hazard can 1-shot you. Sound like fun?
I, honestly, love it. It's hard as hell, it makes you think, and the better you get, the more the game insults you. Example - I managed to beat 6 stages in succession without dying on the harder difficulty (im a glutton for punishment) and I got an achivement for it with a discription of "That's good.... I guess."
Oldschool Platformer - 9/10. A gem among the new age games.
Newschool Platformer - 4/10. You will be frustrated over and over again. If your ok with that, look at Oldschool score.
