The Biznut Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 LONG VERSION: I love video games, especially classic RPG's but as a full time student and business owner, I don't have near as much time for them as I used to. I found time to wrap Halo ODST back in October, but that aside I think it has been at least 12 months since I have wrapped a game, and probably 4 years since I have played through an RPG. Well that is going to change tonight. I made a quick stop at the local EBGames after lunch with some friends over this Christmas break, and as I was looking around, Half Minute Hero caught my attention. A friend said he had heard something about it being like a bunch of classic RPG style games but everything has a 30 second limit, or something like that. I ended up getting it, as I was obviously curious about the game. And now I am hooked. I can't seem to put this game down, or say no to it once I start. It has the storyline of a classic RPG, it is epic in a lighthearted and quirky way, the dialog is entertaining. The different game modes add some balance and variety, there are hidden secrets for the treasure hunter in me, and rankings / multiple paths for my completionist side. I think I will have it wrapped tonight, and it has been a ton of fun. SHORT VERSION: Sweet PSP Game called Half Minute Hero. Anybody played it?

Schwaltzvald Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I've played the demo but for some reason I prefer the Evil Lord mode rather than the hero one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkeSword Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 You lost me at "PSP". PlayStation Portable. It's Sony's handheld system. Very nice piece of hardware, has a lot of awesome games. HMH is on my list of games to get. The Hero demo is SO FUN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 PlayStation Portable. It's Sony's handheld system. Very nice piece of hardware, has a lot of awesome games. I think he meant that he stopped being interested upon the fact it was for the PSP. Man, where's a "point going over your head" smiley thing when you need one?

Arek the Absolute Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think Darkesword said that in jest, so I believe you need that sign as well, good sir This game is so awesome. I played the hell out of it when it came out. I have every piece of gear and every mode done/unlocked. Such an addictive game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Biznut Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 I finally beat the final section of the story mode, after several tries. It was a good challenge, I managed to do it with about 4 seconds left. I was sweating it out as those seconds were counting down, I think I had been at it for an hour at least! My final time was 5:55:xx I think. Addictive indeed Arek! Amazingly fun, and unique. Gonna see if I can handle Hero 3 now HOLY @!#%!@%$# EDIT SON! OF! A! BITCH!!! Yeah, so after beating the game I managed to LOAD instead of SAVE. My PSP has been on sleep for a few days, last I saved was 20% through Knight 30. guess I won't be playing any Hero 3 tonight..... LAME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arek the Absolute Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 No worries. I purposefully restarted my game many times because it is fun to play the missions over again. It is one of those games that I really don't mind restarting ever. Have fun with hero 3. If you can't beat it, I have some tips for you that I figured out that will make it a breeze. Took me about 30 minutes to figure it out, but once I did, the mode is no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Damned Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I think Darkesword said that in jest, so I believe you need that sign as well, good sir Not if I also said it in jest, you fun-ruiner. Why you gotta ruin fun, huh? Some videos for those that aren't familiar with the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocre Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I really like the old school art design in this one. I've been interested in this one since I first saw a preview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
