Corpse Party: Blood Drive - PS Vita

Another great jrpg masterpiece for the underrated ps vita solid story and great game play

Love the game series 3rd game in the series, but have to play the first one and the second one for the story to make sense luckily they have the first two on ps vita psn. Xseed did a very good job on this limited edition very good art book and sound track

This game, like the title reads, is the latest, and LAST, entry in the Heavenly Host Elementary School saga. It is recommended that you play the previous two titles in the series before playing this third entry (Corpse Party and Corpse Party: Book of Shadows) both available on the PSN Store, in that order. The games mentioned above (including Blood Drive) are VNs, or Visual Novels, in that you typically, as the player, press the confirm button to scroll through text and pictures. It's like reading a book, only with audio! However, the games include exploration and puzzle-solving elements, adding to the experience. The game almost immediately refers to events from Book of Shadows when starting a New Game. After a long series of story cutscenes and dialogue, gameplay is available, wherein you'll control your character in a 3D environment, akin to the first Corpse Party. Familiar features include a party of characters to basically absorb damage before a Game Over appears, finding and using items around to solve puzzles and unlock doors, and just about anything else that makes a visual novel worth playing! New features of this game include the flashlight mechanic, which illuminates the floor ahead of dynamically as you walk so as to avoid glass or spikes. Sometimes, enemies, zombies and ghosts will chase you, and to defend yourself, you can either use talismans to ward them off, or hide in closets, etc. A green reticle appears when hiding: a red reticle means they are nearby and you should not leave your hiding spot, yellow means they are somewhat nearby, and green means you're almost in the clear. No reticle means it's safe to come out. But beware! Though you may leave your hiding spot, they will still be in the area, so explore the game's field with caution. Corpse Party: Blood Drive is a great VN for fans of the series, and while it does mention some aspects of 2U (an unreleased Corpse Party title), it is not required to understand the game. Newcomers should experience the first two titles, as previously mentioned, but should you dive into Blood Drive regardless, the game does it's best to explain the important plot elements to you as they come. The Everafter Edition includes a soundtrack of 2 discs, and an artbook. The soundtrack contains music from the first two Corpse Part titles on the first disc, with some tracks being ripped straight from the PSP games. The second disc contains music from Blood Drive. The art book is a horizontal book with covers resembling those of the Book of Shadows. It contains art work from all three games, with some artwork depicting spoilers, so please take care. Overall, a great buy, especially if you have Gamer's Club discount.

This game is really beautiful. The 3D graphics are a lot better that the "Pixel" counterpart in the first game. The game sure does lag a bit when using the flashlight or just quickly sprinting away from enemies. Other than that this game is a spooky joy! I wont spoil anything from the story but this game gets really intense and just like the first one, You dont know what will happen next until you've played it!

very cool gameplay and story, way too many loading screens though which are pretty long

First off I'm going to clear the air all of the physical versions come with the epic soundtrack with music from all of games brings back all types of memories and the same for the art book they just look epic. The game is great that's all you need to know don't want to have any spoilers in this review.

Corpse Party: Blood Drive is a creepy finale to the Corpse Party series that started out on the psp. The game is a visual novel with exploration thrown in. It is suspenseful and will keep you on the edge of your seat. The physical edition of the game comes with a 2 disc soundtrack and artbook.

Finally in rudimentary 3D the Corpse Party series comes to the PS Vita in a great way. This game continues the story told in the previous two PSP only titles. Package contains a Soundtrack CD and Artbook, a great set for fans!
