Life Game Q DS 7666
XYANIDE 6676
Star Ocean 1 8788
* Movies and characters done well, will please fans.
* Battles are easy for the first half, start to require skill later.
* Can take a while to do everything.
* Limited field of view and long map movement times make it seem like a poor fit for the PSP.
* Map expanded too much, and you can't save on it.
* Interface is unusually convenient.
* Story has its charming points.

SRW OG Gaiden 8788 Info Scan
* Characters swap around a lot, so until later stages it's tough to have fun upgrading and pilot swapping.
・ゲームはサクサク進む難度
* Bonus card game was probably good enough to merit its own release.
* System isn't really changed from OGs.
* Battle viewer and other features make it double as a pretty good fandisc.
* Takes a while to open up to player-controlled organization.

They've had WiiFit for weeks and are running a commentary on it; they're obviously not going to score it as a game.

previous SO scores for comparison

Star Ocean 1 - 8/6/7/7
Star Ocean 2 - 9/8/8/8
Star Ocean 3 - 9/8/8/7

seems fair considering the original Sfam version is such an unpolished mess.
