Untold Legends: The Warrior's Code PlayStation Portable

Action roleplaying game fans have another PSP title to sink their swords through with this followup to 2005’s Untold Legends: Brotherhood of the Blade. The story line follows a race of shapeshifting characters that are being systematically enslaved or destroyed as part of an evil warlord’s plot to conquer the land. Players will take control of one of five shapeshifters, advancing through a fivechapter story that features over 45 areas to explore. Each character must be wary of deadly traps, vile creatures, and devious puzzles as they set out to end the warlord’s ruinous reign.

Character types include a prowler, disciple, guardian, scout, and mercenary. All offer distinct moves and special attacks as well as a beast transformation that heightens their inherent powers. A variety of quests are available to undertake, all accessible from a revamped quest journal, and players can store more items and enhancements with the improved inventory system. Over 40 individual enemy types and 12 boss characters must be vanquished to save the land, but the adventures need not end with the singleplayer game. Heroes can go online for some twoplayer cooperative action or a fourplayer freeforall, with each mode offering lobbies, matchmaking, and a ranking system. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
