Yup a visual novel for the PSP again. This time I got my hands on “Secret of Evangelion Portable”. Important Characters are fully voiced (except the main character (? I’m not sure if he’s the MC)) and I think the VA (Voice Actors) were the same as in the anime (Japanese version). A “ReRead” feature was also included (but no “ReHear” for the voices …). Ah, a tutorial was also there (skipped it tho :’] ).

Soundtrack is the same as in the anime (well maybe better quality). That isn’t bad because I liked the anime soundtrack (most of it …).

Ah right, I don’t know if the game is based on another novel or anything new. Anyway … I played it a bit and the only “new” (meaning not-in-other-visual-novels) is the “Proceeding System” (Yup, I named it). You got some “action points” that you can use to well… run around (look at the pics).

I watched the NGE anime & read some manga volumes (manga is better btw). Although I’m a fan of NGE, I didn’t like the visual novel much. You could get the game if you are a hardcore NGE fan but everyone else can just skip it.

Main Menu
I was surprised that even the option menu was in english (I guess the left means BGM/Effects/Voice & Text Speed – Don’t know the order tho…)

Nuuuuuh, right on the path of destruction (Asuka) … Oh wait, Rei-chan is catching up, Yay !
Wussat ? I don’t know but there was a serious soundtrack D:

“Suzumiya Haruhi No Yakusoku” is a visual novel based on the second novel “Suzumiya Haruhi no Tameiki” which translates to “The Sighs of Suzumiya Haruhi”, haruhi takes on the role of a film director and forces the SOS-Brigade into producing a film for the impending School Cultural Festival.

“Although the story in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yakusoku is based on the “The Sighs of Suzumiya Haruhi,” the scenarios and overall material are new and written exclusively for the game. Multiple endings are also possible depending on the actions that one takes over the course of the game.”

The game starts with an animated opening (I think it’s the same as in the anime). After you start a “New Game” you see the next animated scene. I’m not sure if the voice is the same as in the anime (didn’t watch haruhi in japanese – didn’t even finish the anime yet AND YEAH I KNOW EPIC PHAIL). You can reread the whole written stuff and you can let it replay the voices.

Found a youtube video with a few ingame CGs.

A second game, titled Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Lost Colors was developed for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2. It is a visual novel game which follows a new protagonist named Rai (ライ), who suffers from amnesia.

mark to read about the Geass ability the main character has:
————————————————–
He has a Geass ability similar to Lelouch’s, but is activated by voice.
————————————————–

Plays itself just like any other visual novel game. Much text & a few choices to answer for different endings. Code geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion Lost Colors is more a “dating game” than an action game. You can choose from around 7 girls (including Nagisa Chiba,the girl who luvs Tohdoh). But don’t worry, there’s some mecha action aswell.

**EDIT: The mecha action is based on text. That means it’ll be something like “I dodged his attack and now I’ll …” – “Counterattack / Fall back / …” etc .

Eyecandies:
Every Picture is from the PSP game itself, none of these are from the anime.
