    I thought the game was pretty good, well I thought Hero 30 was pretty good. Evil Lord 30, Princess 30, and Knight 30 were all garbage IMO. Hero 30 was so good though that I'm willing to overlook those cheap cash-in modes.

    I've been talking about this game for a while, trying to figure out what the name was. It seemed like an interesting concept. I'll try to pick up a copy this week and see what it's like.

    I'm about halfway through hero 30 and I've played a few levels of princess 30. Overall, I think the concept is great, and its very fun WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING. But see, since the actual gameplay sequences are so short, while the cinematic sequences are so long winded, I feel like I only spend maybe 30% of my time with the game actually engaged in gameplay. There are so many breaks to the action that its really frustrating. In addition, the gameplay itself is really easy on the normal difficulty, so I don't feel challeneged at all.

    All in all, its a great concept, but it needs some refinement. These issues I listed really kind of detract from the fun. Its a shame because this has soooooo much potential.

    GAH! I need to find my PSP charger. I got this game for Christmas but haven't gotten to try it yet. I'm generally a sucker for new-retro releases though, see Retro Game Challenge, Final Fantasy IV: The After Years and 3D Dot Game Heroes so 30 Minute Hero was a natural attraction for me.

    AND I WANT TO PLAY IT!!!!

    Go to Wal-mart and pick up the Universal Energizer AC/DC Adapter for PSP and DS/DS lite. Wall or Car, it can charge both a PSP and a Nintendo DS at the same time. $9 bucks.

    I've never heard of it until I saw Steam's sale today (it's 10% off)

    Does anyone know which is better, the PSP or PC version?

    Some of the Hero 30 ones can get a bit longer because there's the Goddess of Time who restores time back to full which is needed in order to complete some missions.
    Everything in the above post is opinion unless stated otherwise.

    Even then gameplay is generally only extended to 1 minute 30 seconds before the level's over. Not that much play time before I'm forced to talk to the people in my caravan for no apparent reason.

    One thing I wanted to mention is that some of the soundtrack in this game is composed by the legendary Yuzo Koshiro (Y's 1, 2, and 3, Legacy of the Wizard, pretty much all 80's Falcom games, as well as Revenge of Shinobi, the Streets of Rage series, Actraiser 1 and 2, Super Adventure Island, and many other great game soundtracks). As such, the tunes in the game are pretty great at times. Another reason to check it out for those who haven't yet.
