yeah, ok, it's a kids game, sorta

...and I'm an adult. Sue me.

That said, the game has great (cuuuute!) graphics, real-time combat, 3-D environment, lots of pretty items to collect, plenty of choices on how to play (smart mage, tough fighter, ranger vs melee vs mage, etc), and a fairly interesting story line.

no comment yet on how long the game is - if it's like Popolo Crois, it's gonna be too short, and I suspect that's how RPGs for PSP tend to be. all the games for psp cost too much at first release.

Load times - they're kept to a bare minimum while in towns and dungeons, no loading during fights or while opening chests and stuff, but the time ya gotta wait while entering a new area is kind of a pain. So far I'm using the break to go stretch my legs or use the bathroom, it's that long.

my only real complaint about the game is there arent enough player avatars and there's no customization (well, you can dress them up, but that's it), aaaand all the avatars are cat-creature thingies (even tho one claims to be a dog-fox cross - I have a friend who will plotz over the stupidity of combining dogs and foxes... )

so, ok, kids game with all the basic limitations - short list of avatars, no perspective control, most of the action is seen from above, and absolutely no blood or gore of any kind. It's still got lots to do, lots to see, and the promise of much eye-candy to come.

childish characters, good gameplay and control

I have been considering for a while before I purchase the game
the characters are kinda childish
however, once I start, found the game is pretty good, pick a petpet you want, it may be hard at first because you may need to solve some puzzle
after you acquired some weapon, magic, elemental growth, petpet pet, you'll discover the fun of the game, the character's initial stat is different, but you can change throughout the game
the graphic is excellent, but it becomes sluggish when there're a lot of NPCs on the screen (this is the reason why I gave 4 stars overall instead of 5)
if you don't mind the childish characters and NPCs, this game is worth to buy, but it may be suitable for 12+, because it's a little bit complicated at first

Champions of Norrath via Animal Crossing

I got Neopets last week and it's really fun. It's an action rpg with good graphics, level layout and combat that can be challenging. There are tons of different weapons and armor, magic items, food and health potions and pets(which give your stats a boost).
The characters look like they previously lived in an Animal Crossing town, but the character design and colorful menu display is the only 'kiddie' thing I've encountered in the game. This game has polish and style wrapped around a decent combat system that can offer a fair challenge. The story is typical rpg fare. You chase bad guy in search for uberwand to stop him from conquering the world.

The leveling up system is a little weird and my main peeve with the game. You have to fight arena battles and earn tokens to level up a stat. You need to pay an entry fee to fight, so sometimes you will have to choose between using your swag to buy a great weapon or piece of armor and upping your strength or hp.
This system would work out fine if there were a larger number of arena battles from which to choose. Instead, you end up fighting the same arena battle over and over again. The upside to this is that as you level up, the particular arena battle which was challenging turns to a cakewalk and you level up faster until your next arena level is opened.
The game offers multiple races to choose from, each with different strengths and weakness. Those can be adjusted with leveling up, so the differences only matter when you first start.
There are a fair number of side quests and loads of characters with whom to talk. The game has a decent menu system with a map, quest journal, stat screen and inventory screen. I read complaints from people saying that you couldn't use items from the inventory screen, but they were wrong.
The combat system and inventory system work very well together. You have a belt with three pouches starting out. These pouches offer you quick access to items. If you are in a fight, there is no need to go digging for a magic item to use if you have a wand attached to your belt. You press down on the directional pad and you switch between melee and ranged. If you press left or right, you switch the active pouch on your belt. It works very well.
All in all, this game is what I was expecting Untold Legends to be...sort of a portable Champions of Norrath but with better graphics than UL and a better combat system.

FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was a real fun game! It was great!

The story opens as gypsy girl Megan and her faithful Petpet are pursued by the nefarious Argus and his slavering pack of Werhonds. Megan is searching for the fabled Wand of Wishing, and with it she intends to reverse the evils that Argus (who was once her friend) has wrought upon the world of Neopia. Argus manages to corner the desperate gypsy and, though she discovers The Wand before Argus can reach her, Megan is unable to unleash its power as one the Werhonds races forward and snatches it away--only to then disappear through a mysterious portal. Megan's Petpet also leaps through the open portal before it snaps shut, whereupon the Petpet finds itself transported to the world of Petria. Here it must attempt to track down the Werhond, retrieve The Wand of Wishing, and save Neopia and Petria.

So much fun!!!!!!!!!!!

i think it's awesome and considering this is only neopet's 2nd game, the graphics are awesome! the thing i hate about it is it takes too long to load, and you don't have "lives" so when you die you have to start at a save point and wait like 3 minutes for it to load or you have to restart it the area, I recomend getting this game and getting "Neopets - The Darkest Faerie" i got it too and it's really cool too!

Its okay

Thats graphics are pretty good but, the controls aren't that great. The camera needs alittle fixing. It could have been way better. Its a little let down.

So I bought this game looking at the rating and thinking, it's cute and should be somewhat easy. I was wrong, your neopet needs to be fairly powerful to start with, which is hard to due, since you can't get much money to upgrade. When you do get enough money, you're stuck in the harder levels, which makes getting pass or even getting to the boss very hard. But overall, it's a fairly decent game. Just wished the upgrades on the neopet would of been easier to get to as first and then more difficult as the game progressed.

Amazing Game

First the awesome PS2 Neopets was blasted for being a great game that didn't involved murdering people and tearing off limbs, now everyone's hating on the PSP game. Petpet adventures is great. (for a PSP game, which means its on par with a bad N64 game, cuz the PSP has NOTHING)
