The Playstation Vita started off with very limited games to choose from and lacking any kind of "system sellers" so with the re-release of an updated Persona 4 Golden is a God send for Sony's handheld . How can I even begin to explain how brilliant this game really is without sounding like a zealot ? Impossible to be honest. Persona 4 Golden is a re-mastered version of the original Shin Megami Tensei series of persona 4 released on December 9, 2008 for the PS2 .
The game is a complicated and addictive mixture of life simulation and dungeon JRPG amongst other things. Your a new transfer student to a new small town in Japan and find yourself juggling a complicated murder scenario and high school social life with everything you can imagine related involved . The story is one of the greatest ever told on any video game and the voice acting stands as some of the finest voice acting ever achieved in gaming . Every time you think you have some of the story figured out the twist's and turns just keep coming and do not relent until the very end . While playing this game you feel as if you are actually living this boys life and become so involved with the other characters you will be hard pressed to set the game down for bathroom breaks.
The original game is widely considered one of the best games ever made and now with the game remastered in HD with tons of extra's like music video's , animations from every persona game ever made , older and new trailers , ect ect , on and on it goes. The game feels like it was always meant to be played on the vita and that somehow the Atlus developers could see in the future and made this game with the future Vita in mind. Software updates will not be needed here as this game is perfection and anything else could only soil what is already a masterpiece . The visuals are amazing on the Vita's OLED screen and the dungeon's look as though it could be 3D with the glasses. Turn based battle scenes jump out at you with every shining detail splashing against your retina's in a grand display of awsomeness and when you perform a group attack you will almost soil yourself in excitement . You will get lost in over 100+ hours of gameplay like none other and could still play through again using different choices and persona's . Persona's are formed with social links you create from interacting with other characters in the game and the more your friendships build so does your combat ability and rank.
With a metacratic score of 95/100 Persona 4 Golden stands as the most highly rated game in 2012 and with similiar score's in the past with the older version Persona 4 Golden trully is one of the finest games ever made and if thats not a system seller I dont know what is . You dont have to be a fan of JRPG's to enjoy this game because its different than any other RPG you have ever seen or played . With tons of new content like characters , music, video's , voice acting and HD graphics ....... anybody who does not get this game for their Vita does not deserve to even own one.
10/10 Masterpiece
