Review Summary:
Growing up on 8-bit RPGs is something that many of us have done. They are close to our hearts and XSEED Games has already roped you in because of this fact. Half-Minute Hero on the PSP has a great time mechanic and developer Marvelous Entertainment has created a fun, addicting and quirky RPG. You play the Hero, have thirty seconds to save the world and you try to succeed thirty times over. With six modes, multiples difficulty modes, does Half-Minute Hero hold up and is it worth your 30 dollars? Read on my friends.
