So while the original SSII definitely has some merit, this PSP port of the same said title shares so little of the same experience and fun that it’s almost farcical that it even shares the same name. [JPN Import]

I'd like to recommend Spectral Souls for such an occasion, but unless you're a hardcore SRPG junkie, it might be more frustration than relaxation. [Oct. 2006, p.65]

Pointless loading EVERYWHERE means the game just comes off as coded by monkeys rather than being something different. Stay away.

Interessante, desafiante e o conceito de três exércitos trás um tempero pra estória.
Pra quem gosta de grind, um prato cheio.
Os bugs e quedas de frame me impedem de dar 10.
Uma ótima pedida pra quem curte o estilo tactics.

No loading times at all with an old PSP2001 model here. This game is faster for me than Final Fantasy Tactics and most other tactical RPGs, possibly because my cpu speed is set to 333Mhz. Not sure what to say about all the raging reviews about loading times. I guess the majority of the populace shudders at the very idea of having to fiddle just a tiny bit with their hardware configurations to better their play experience. Too bad for those people as this is a magnificent tactical RPG with an entertaining battle system and engrossing features they will never get to experience. I'm enjoying it more than any other tactical RPG i have played up to this day. It deserves a ten just to rub it in the faces of those people who enjoy beating cripples, but i doubt they will understand the metaphor anyway.

Spectral Souls is food for the TSRPG fan's spectral soul, but more mainstream-style fans may feel left out in the cold by the game's mad-depth, complexity and difficulty level. On the upside, those words are music to hardcore fans' ears.

To summarize, this is not a game for everyone; it has its load times and a learning curve that can throw the average user at first.

It falls short of even being mediocre. Even though it presents some truly superb ideas, the game is destroyed by the incessant load times, which should have been addressed long before its release date.

Even the most patient of strategy nerds will be hard-pressed to maintain interest in Spectral Souls. [Nov. 2006, p.146]

Spectral Souls is a true sob story. There's a perfectly serviceable game here, buried underneath one crucial problem.

Outside studio Idea Factory developed Spectral Souls and it shows; NIS would be much better off sticking with its internal developers next time. [Nov. 2006, p.120]

Spectral Souls had an awesome idea to allow the player to directly control the outcome of the game. Unfortunately, the execution of this title is done so poorly, it takes literally all of the fun out of the game.
