New Review Posted: Astonishia Story

Brad Gallaway reviews Astonishia Story, and, for a moment anyway, is wholly fed up with his PSP:

"Another day on the PSP, another sub-par role-playing game (RPG). Seriously, people… it's getting a bit ridiculous. If I have to play another old-school game that starts with the main character waking up in bed and getting dressed for his "big day," I'm going to scream."

Could it really be that bad? Discover the answer here

With Astonishia Story though, part of the marketing is that it's supposed to be "basic." Evidently, someone thought that a simplistic, boring, by-the-numbers adventure would be a good starting point for "both sexes" on what I assume they expect will be a lifetime of happy RPG consumption.
You just described Dragon Quest right there, and look at it's fanbase. Hell, you could just replace "Astonishia Story" with "Dragon Quest" throughout the review and it would still work. :P
