Classic Game Room - PERSONA 3 for PSP review

- Classic Game Room HD reviews PERSONA 3 for Sony PSP from Atlus. Part of the Shin Megami Tensei series, Persona 3 is like Dark City meets dark anime, a trippy tale about the Lost Hour, Shadows and Evokers that bring out the Personas in teens fighting for the future or something... Persona 3 was originally released for the Playstation 2 PS2 in 2006 in Japan and 2007 in North America. This version on the PSP has a new female lead character (in addition to the regular male character) that has some additional plot elements. Fuse personas (aka Demons from the other SMT games) into more powerful personas which act as magic spells and weapons in turn based combat. Persona 3 is a JRPG (Japanese style role playing game) dripping with that unique Shin Megami Tensei style which masks its turn based, dungeon crawling heart. This CGR review of Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3 has gameplay from Persona 3 showing video game play of Persona 3 on Sony PSP. Persona 3 is rated M for mature.

![Persona 2 Innocent Sin review! [PSP] The Game Collection](/img/n.gif)
This review got me into persona, thank you for taking 700 hours of my life.
p5 got me into it, and that game alone took nearly 700 hours of my life. first playthrough was nearly 200 hours and i enjoyed it so much i immediately replayed it on hard and found things i didn't be find the first be time, it took m me about another 200 hours. and throughout the years after be that i played by it a couple more times.
p5 also led me to play p3, p4, nocturne, digital devil saga, strange journey, and devil survivor, and possibly another one or 2 games i'm forgetting.
@@Jack_80 which of those are the best and are worth it?
@@shakaj1525 i got persona 3 and 4 and nocturne and digital devil saga 1 and 2 all on the ps3 store for $10 a piece and they were all worth it. hard to say which games are the best of those. the other ones i play on a ds emulator on my phone.
@@Jack_80 okay thanks man. What a game persona 5 was tho. Gonna start with playing Persona 3 portable and Strange Journey next. And then the rest
As someone that has played the shit out of P3FES and P3P, they are both fantastic but for me P3P gets the edge. Being able to control the whole party is a bigger deal to me than the cut scenes in FES
Too me, controlling the whole party makes every battle longer. When I played P3FES, I played on Normal and I never had problems with the AI. 99% of the time my party selected the right moves and finished the battles fast. I feel like P3FES was a break from every other JRPG because I didnt have to control all of them and juggle through individual menus.
Is Persona 3 Portable worth playing? I already own Persona 3 FES, but I would love to play Persona 3 on my Vita instead. Will I be missing out on anything important?
Well you can play as female and you have some optional bosses but it's not really that great, i prefer FES over P3P
The only reason for P3P is for the female route, I want a Definitive Persona 3 which Combines FES and Portable
On sale for 5 bucks.
I loved Persona 4 so yeah, easy buy
Yard yare
Now, it's only in full price...
@@cliffturbo2146 Now its more than full price...
POPTOTS I mean, if you guys learn Japanese and mod your pap you can buy persona 3 for 15 bucks
@@notadrij8799 I mean even if you soft mod a psp you can download any psp games for free if you have the space and don't mind pirating. I already blew enough money getting replacement batteries lol
My God that thumbnail is nostalgic in some way
The best PSP game ever, hands down. I highly recommend this game.
Abdullah Al-qurashi Now What?
But dude, MGS Peace Walker exists
I mean, I love me some Persona, but MGS is amazing
Well not best psp game ever
You should try Danganronpa
*Monster Hunter laughed at this post*
this is actually my favourite RPG of all time
I've been waiting for this review for a long, long time.
Mark, you make the best game reviews. Your reviews are funny and innovative.
Just about to start this game up. Can't wait to experience it
How was it?
@@oof5992 Unreal. A must play
Just ordered Persona 1 and 2 from amazon. They'll be here in a week
How were they?
We need an update
Might check it out, thanks for the review it told me about everything I was wondering about the game not knowing what to expect and also you explained the battle system which I was curious about! Rock on and good review!
Did you?
man your reviews are so good with so much personality
awesome review and it actually made me laugh a few times
i have this game wrapped up in a limited edition case with a cd of the music tracks. I picked it up because it was made by atlus but.... i have 150 xbox games and im a bit busy with those...
But Proooto!!!!! Persona 3 is a masterpiece!
"Get this weird kid out of my room. You are on a clock on this game if time runs out your psp melts and turns into a gameboy. So you have to win before that or you'll be stuck playing excite bick for the rest of eternity." This made my day.
I didn't think I could love Mark any more if he was my father, but the he makes a "Dark City" reference. Bravo Good sir!
CGR! I Love your reviews! You're never ranting or talking bullshit, you just review the games, comment the content and whats in there. ;D You really deserve alot more attention. ;D
atlus is one of the GREATEST developers for making awesome shin megami tensei series
Getting this game to prepare myself for Persona Q!
Did you like them?
Very nice review sir
Thanks for reviewing one of if not my fav rpgs of all time.
I wish I could find a physical copy of this game, I'm a collector. Either PS2 or PSP. It's so damn rare. I suppose I'll settle for the digital version for now.
It’s rare? I found mine for 18 bucks on eBay, and the copy was legit. Granted it was ps2
This was the first Persona game I played, hence the first one I finished. After that I played Persona 1 PSP, Persona 2 Innocent Sin PSP, Persona 4 pcsx2 emulator (I do not actually own ps2 or ps vita for the matter of Persona 4 Golden).
P.S. Can't wait for Persona 5, but I should probably get my self PS4 first :)
shadowandroidhyperhe its on ps3
And also on ps4
shadowandroidhyperhe Are you sure?
josh driediger yepp. PS4, X1, X360, and PS3
***** wait its coming to Xbox 360?
nice review

Devil Survivor Overclocked is fucking awesome. Enough said.
I see someone's using four-elements Lilim!
Hi Hawlo :]
surprised to see classic game room get to something like this ;P
good job mark! getting to the long ass games
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAAN! I LOVE YOUR SHOW
I thought in the psp version they allowed you to use everybody...it also had extra content I think. idk could be wrong tho.
yeah ur right
"Check this out!"
*shoots self in the head with a gun*
That made me laugh so hard. It's roughly 2:10
I thought I was the only one who knew about dark city... Good review!
Thanks a lot. Just picked up a PSP so I'll get 3 as it's on sale on the store. Thanks again.

@Latest News nah, Toaster has better sound
@@hanamadomutantlesbianvilli1239 get a door
This guys a brilliant reviewer, ive been watching so many of his reviews and some of them are SPOT ON, keep up the good work_
I ADORE everything about this game. It is so amazing. I played it back in '08 for the ps2. Still my absolute favorite game.
lmao in Pal territories Persona 3 and Portable are rated 12+
FES on the other hand though is 16
When you said "because you've got the......... Persona touch" is that a Boogie Nights reference??? "You Got the Touch You Got the Power!"
You have the game already... I'm so jealous.
Nice review :D
This is one of my all time favorite games, ever. I have played both the PS2 and the PSP.
I know this sounds blasphemous, but I think Persona 3 is a superior game to Persona 4. They're both great, but i think Persona 3 has better direction, a better more meaningful story, and a superior soundtrack. There are also a lot of other, smaller things that made Persona 3 an all together better experience then 4. Persona 3 made me cry. And overtime I see the cast in another game that isn't Persona 3, I cry. I feel for them. I also think Persona 4 is way to overrated! 4 got a remaster, a FUCKING DANCING GAME, and etc. I think Persona 3 deserves a full REMAKE!
If so, then they need to get rid of the fatigue system.
Yeah, but it did balance the game
+Denny & Alexander Yeah, after playing P3P, it isn't as bad as everyone thinks it is. So yeah.
christian oneill It's pretty good. I just wish the difficulty was a higher. The game is not a walk in the park, but i want it to be harder. I like 'em hard!
+Denny & Alexander I know a TH-camr who plats games on the hardest difficulty. And it inspires me to play the games on harder difficulty, so I know how you feel.
Here's one thing you should mention as well: don't play Persona 4 before 3 like I did. Persona 4 spoiled me in terms of its content and gameplay, and I love it much more than 3. I'm sure I would've loved 4 more than 3 anyway, but because I think it's the most polished Persona game, playing it before 3 will make 3 look worse than it actually is. The combat in 3 really turned me off because I enjoyed controlling everyone in 4 and formulating my own strategy.
Good job Mark on mentioning the similarities between Dark City and Persona 3 ^^
Love this. 8 hours in a not slowing down at all
Persona 3 Portable
the only version of Persona 3 with widescreen and the only one with an option between a male and female protagonist (If I go a little further with what's in P3P I might spoil things)
I think more important than widescreen is the improved battle system in P3P. In FES you only control the main character in battle.
I wish they would remastered this for vita or 3Ds.
well you can play this on the vita via psn
+Faltiere Ornalock yeah I know. I've put in about 80 hours in it. But still would like to see a HD remake for vita
Good review. Got myself Resonance of fate lately and I'm loving it. Guess its Persona 3 soon after i deal with Resonance. Keep up the good work dude.
I really like that you returned to making longer Reviews again! These 4min short reviews started to get annoying!^^
No animation :(
Best game ever. Get it if u love a good story or just love jrpg's
Great intro!
i see a quad elemental lilim... nice use of the "disc one nuke" in the beginning XD
49 shadows dislike this.
4 > 3. My favorite game ever made
just got this game after watching this review totally worth it!!
Looks sick
This is the best game ever made, and I don't even like RPGs.
Not even close, it's not even the best in it's own series
@@awoga2299 p4 had better characters
When you're inspired by JOJO you create good content 👌
Finally got this thing!
wow finally ur doing persona, my favourite jrpg :3
why do they shoot themselves in the head....
They do not exactualy shoot themselves in the head and those are not real guns.They just happen to look like guns called evoker to activate their personas.
umm no you are wrong as shit. they even make a sound like a gun shot LOL. and the back of there head like explodes like as if they actually got shot in the head.
Its an artistic choice. I think its cuz they're angsty teenagers, so suicide is edgy. Persona 4 doesnt have it anymore
The gun is a symbol of death base in the game . Well , look yukari is having a hard time using her evoker unlike the male char , he doesnt care about death thats why he is not having hard time using it .
That evoker symbolize death so it looks like gun , i think . If you use that evoker you accept death .
All these are wrong, to summon your Persona you have to be really stressed out ( no better way to put it ) and the most effective way of stressing yourself out is pointing a gun at your head. The reason there are sparks is because thats your Persona awakening.
Persona is to SMT what Kirby is to Nintendo
incredibly easy and made for casuals
Persona 1 and 2?
It's not really for casuals. Pokemon is for casuals.
Tur-Kei compared to the rest of the smt series...i would say it is.
Play persona 3 portable on the hardest difficulty scrub.
larryminzy play any SMT game. Free personas after battles? Hah, try having to haggle with monsters to join you, only for them to take all of your cash and attack you.
Dude, you named the MC NinjaBot. :D
Anyway, nice review. Downloading it now.
Mark is the awesome of awesomeness! I can't help myself with such sarcasm.
Getting this so damn badly now! :O
Nice Video! :D Keep it up! :D You should review Rygar the Legendary Adventure, that would be kool! :D
Junpei asks the same question about the Evoker in a text-only conversation with the Protagonist, but it's more-or-less hand-waved. There's a sort of symbolism to it; Junpei mentions that you have to be messed up to put a gun to your head and pull the trigger, and all the characters do tend to harbor damaged personality traits.
Thanks for the reply (:, yeah I HAD to buy it, cause I really like story-driven RPGs and this seems to be a great one! Lookinf forward to it but I currently have it on hold because there are so many games I have to finish first heheh.
still bumping the p3 music in my are to this day
I love the way they evoke the personas!
(personae, persons, people, whatever...)
For those who are curious about why the Evoker's look like a gun: the game is a bit vague about it, but according to the developers, the Korijo Group determined that in order to call a Persona, the user has to be under heavy psychologically strain. The Evoker simulates a fatal gunshot wound to the head, which allows the user's mind to manifest the Persona. This is why Yukari has so much trouble using the Evoker early in the game. It's not pleasant.
Excellent game. I enjoyed every minute of this one playing it originally for the PS2.
Well, have fun with the game and I'm glad this has been resolved rather peacefully.
This game is awesome. The grind gets mind-numbing by the end of the game, but the story and characters are enough to make the experience worth it. Seriously, this game takes some huge twists that blow your mind and drop your jaw. Can't recommend it enough for a fan of JRPG's.
this game is not only one of the best psp games of the year, its also of the best psp games of all time. The game is fun, has a sim style to it, and overall excellent gameplay. this game is the reason why you should buy a psp.
I need to get this game!
I haven't played through all of the 4th one yet but this looks to be very similar.. Game play best described as a cross between The Sims and a quick paced RPG..
@roronoapedro
Indeed, just to add, FES have both stories, u can select at the first scene.
Dark city reference.
+ 100 respect points.
good stuff
I'm looking for jrpg games to play on my ps3 and i happened to stumble upon this game. Fortunately, i still have my psp. I might as well try this. Tnx for the review.
You can buy Persona 3 fes from the PS3 store, wich is the better version imo.
Eating chinesse food, watching CGR. My best birthday ever.
Ok, so I want to finally go back and pick up this game, but I'm not sure which version to grab: P3P or FES. I've heard P3P adds a new character and some 'gameplay enhancements' (whatever that means) in exchange for cutting the (supposedly awesome) anime-style cutscenes. Is this basically accurate? What's the deal with the 'gameplay enhancements' in P3P? Is it worth sacrificing the scenes? I'm leaning towards FES at this point, but any info or suggestions are welcome
My 9 year old sister plays this , about 32 hours in so far and loving it. She took my psp and played it due to boredom but got hooked lol.
@mankindkn Well, for one you can play as a female protagonist with her own social links. Not to mention battle mechanics are refined, there are more difficulty levels to choose from and there are some fun little extra things added into the story line for those who were already fans of P3 and P4.
Man you deserve my respect just by knowing "Dark City"...
Excitebike for all eternity? That wouldn't be so bad. :P
Persona 3 is the best $20 I've spent on a video game. It was a steal. I can't believe I got such a great game for such a low price. Also, great review, it had it's funny moments and you didn't spend much time nitpicking on certain details, while you talked about stuff that made the game good. I bought Persona 3 Portable because I liked Persona 4 for PS2, and I don't regret it.
@ALcreates now that you mention it, never played the games but have watched the animes and read the manga
Grinding ftw~!
@Mazz1420
Atlus USA is just the publisher for DS in America, they didn't develop it. They translated and localized it for the NA audience.
However Atlus (the one in Japan) are the developers of the SMT series including Persona. Atlus USA is the branch they have here in America.
You can actually change it in the options. You can either choose to control everybody or let the others go automatic like the actual P3 on the PS2. If you already played the PS2 one, just play as the girl which is a new character (Protagonist) with some new stories and maybe some more content.
@Oati127 maybe the ps2 version but its totally up to you to decide. they're almost the same anyway
The thing about the persona games is the presentation. I haven't played a game with better presentation than persona 3 and 4. It makes the grinding necessary to beat the game bear-able and fun. There have been plenty of games that just made the combat get boring too quickly, and since the grinding is required make the game feel like a chore, but these games keep you on your feet most of the time. I am taking a couple of days off of work for persona 5, and I can't freaking wait.
you got the game early :p I want it so bad
Thanks so much! In my confusion after posting that I ended up buying both. xD Yes, I'm an idiot. I think I'll take your advice and play FES first, and if I feel so inclined I'll be able to jump into the female story line afterwards. ^_^
@TheCommentGuy8 no. But if you have a complete save of Persona 3, you can play de FES chapter with all your itens, personas, social links and experience you have in the previous game. (helps a lot).
@Avatar9023
She's Minako Arisato (fan name), the optional female protagonist of P3P.
@haganum Not necessarily. The game progresses in days and in those days there are "blocks" of time depicting a time of the day. Doing certain things(Social Links, Improving Stats, Main Story Events.) will take up these blocks and thus force you to end the day and go onto the next one.
thanks i might download both on psn cause im going on a trip so i want p3p for persona on the go and then download fes for the better stuff when im home.
So after 119hrs i finally beat this game and i gotta say, probably the most awesome, most touching story/ending i've ever seen in a game... real shit
