Phantasy Star is back in portable form with Phantasy Star Portable for the PSP.  The latest game sports a four player co-op mode, allowing players to quest through various worlds with friends collecting loot.  We dig deep into this RPG and explore its co-op experience in our latest review. 

From the Sega USA blog page comes a joint post by the community team describing their impressions of Phantasy Star Portable for PSP. The game is coming to the United States March 3rd, and features 4-player ad hoc co-op.

If you are looking to try out Phantasy Star Portable, a game that was recently bumped up in release date, then look no further than your PSN Store on either the PlayStation 3.  Sega has release a fully featured demo of the title, one that supports four player ad-hoc cooperative play.  As we mentioned before the game is set for a March 4th release date, a date moved up 3 weeks earlier than previously announced.

According to the official Sega America blog, Phantasy Star Portable for the PSP has had its release date moved up to March 3rd, 2009!  PSP on the PSP (huh?) was released in Japan last year and has been undergoing translation, localization and updates for a March 24th release date.  But I hear they hired the guy that translated Zero Wing so the game will be done a few weeks early!

Co-Optimus has been on a bit of a Phantasy Star mood recently. What with more info about the new DS game, Phantasy Star Zero, we were itching for more Phantasy Star info. Fortunately, we discovered more info about another portable version of Phantasy Star. 1UP has word that Phantasy Star Portable will be headed stateside this coming March. The game is coming out for the PSP, and takes place after Phantasy Star Universe. It will have a single-player storyline, as well as a multiplayer component.
