Legend of Heroes II on the PSP is somewhat of a disappointment compared to the first installment. Technically, this is the first in the series for the PSP however it was released as the sequel. The game play, albeit fun, is not up to the standard set by the first game in the series and definitely not at the same level as the third installment. That being said, if you play this game before the other two, you will enjoy it quite a bit more. This game is pure old school RPG and I am talking about the 16 bit era. The graphics have been beefed up but the play mechanics are definitely from the 90s. This is not necessarily a bad thing though. Playing through the game, you will develop a party of up to 4 characters and visit many lands. The game should take about 25 hours total play to beat. There are few secrets to find and not much replay value however do not delete your game saves as they will be valuable to you if you ever get Legend of Heroes 3. Recommended for old school players.Read full review
The game plays almost exactly like the first Legend of Heroes. That is to say, old school turn based battles, lots of dialogue (the translation has improved from LoH1 but is still dodgy in places) and lots of pointless sidequests to bulk out the cliched, but decently told, story. The gameplay is perfectly acceptable with very short loading times. However, spells still take a while to cast, slowing down battles and the annoying perspective change that happened in the first game(the main character runs sideways instead of interacting with them) when you're trying to talk to a shopkeeper still hasn't been fixed. It can also sometimes be annoying to find the right person to talk to to progress the plot, although the lively towns with loads of talkative npcs are probably one of LoH2's strongest areas. The only real change from the first game is that pretty FMV cutscenes have been added and the translation is slightly less bad. I got this because I enjoyed the first game and I still enjoy oldschool rpgs, but objectively, it's hard to recommend it as a game. (I would recommend checking out Persona portable instead.)Read full review
One of the best handheld RPGs there is. The PSP was littered with so many good ones; Legend of Heroes will not let you down. Fantastic story; very compelling

If you like the first version, you will like this as it is basically the same. The best thing about the game is the almost zero loading time when you go between screens which is so common with other PSP games. The game is a standard RPG affair. Nothing fancy or new here, but still good fun. I only wish they had treasure chests like in the first game...
Great game 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111
