Ok. This will be my first post regarding WE9:UE playtime impressions.
First things first.
My thanks go out to matt for all his patience with me. he has helped me out immensely to understand what the heck the PSP is about.
Now onto the way I got it to work.
I found out that Wab Changer 2.5 works with it. What it does is trick your PSP into thinking the umd IS playing on a 2.0 firmware system. That said, I have the ORIGINAL UMD game. I have only a 256 mb memory card so i can't be bothered to care about iso's right now.
Now my impressions.
1) ANIMATIONS! EVERY ANIMATION FROM WE9(PS2) IS IN THERE! I can not tell the difference honestly. Shooting passing running tricks all look superb.
2)Control. BY GOD! They've really emulated(HAHAHA! Don't we all love that when it comes to the PSP)the control of the PS2 controller extremely well. Seriously within minutes I got the hang of it.
3)Graphics. SLOWDOWN?! 333 my arse. I was worried this game suffered from very poor slowdown. Happy to say I think it's totally playable at 222.I'll hold out for a loader that'll allow me to change the clock,but right now I'm good. Blur effect? Hardly noticed it. If thats what you call blur effect than the PS2 has it as well. Cuz thats the only thing i can say it resembles. The PS2 version.
Overall, hard to score this game low. Theres some questions about WHY they couldn't add more stadiums or make editing of players be available at the start,but theres hope that either the psp link or unlocking the featute in the WeShop fixes that.
So, right now as it stands, this game is the game to own for the PSP. No other game matches it's faithfulness to it's series,unlike the others that have been put out on the PSP.
PSP version = 9.0/10
PS2 version = 9.0/10
Equal to each other because they do everything their version is supposed to do.
