Product Description

Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure takes you into a vivid fantasy world, with a colorful cast of characters. A strong-willed girl named Parin is sent to live with her grandfather in a small mining town while her parents are off excavating an ancient ruin. No other kids live in town, so Parin is shocked to see a young girl tormented by a stray dog. The girl is actually an invisible monster that only she can see. Parin is invited to Monster Village -- just when Phantoms invade. Only the Legendary Drill can beat back the Phantoms, and Parin sets off to find it. Mini-games galore

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Starter RPG July 13, 2009
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
Gurumin - A Monstrous Adventure PSP lets you enjoy a cartoon style RPG with explosions, puzzles, and some low key fun. Rated E10+ for mild cartoon violence.

I greatly appreciate the idea of having easy-playing RPGs to introduce new players to this type of game. Not all RPGs have to be incredibly complicated with multiple attribute modification. This is a perfectly lovely game with a straightforward character - a young girl who meets up with a set of friendly monsters. She is soon equipped with a basic weapon and heads out to protect her friends.

The game is meant to be cartooney, and you embrace it. The monsters are cute. The villagers are friendly. There is certainly a place in the world for this style of casual, easy-going adventure.

The game draws you in. There are long conversations, full cut scenes and it's as if you're immersed in a story. You start to connect with the characters.

There was great potential here for the game to be a perfect getting-started RPG for any age. However, the game designers seem to have forgotten at some points that the game WAS aimed at beginners. At the beginning of the story you're in a town. You wander around. And around. And around. Finally you're getting bored because there is nowhere to go - and eventually your character says "I'm bored! There's nothing to do!" So the game wanted to wait for you to get bored? That's a recipe for frustration.

You start battling monsters. The game ramps them up very nicely, and slowly - just one at the beginning, then two monsters, and so on. You learn your skills and get the hang of how things work. But then you're stuck in a locked room with no apparent way out. Again, it leads to frustration.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gurumin is a Great Game! April 8, 2007
A Kid's Review
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
All that I can say is that this is a Great Game! That's all there is to it. I think that anyone who likes playing any of the Zelda games, would probably love this game. And who doesn't love any of the Zelda games? Although, it is kinda a kiddy game, but for those older gamers out there, it will bring out the kid in you and increase your imagination. It has a great plot and tons of very interesting characters. The graphics are different, too, because it looks kinda like a three-dimensional anime. Some people don't like this, but I think it is cool. The game plays just like a Zelda game or kind of like an action/RPG/platformer. It isn't much of an RPG, so if that is what your looking for, don't expect too much of it. It is much more like a platformer. Overall it is just an awesome game and you should get it right now even if you are still considering it. Why are you still reading this? Go get the game already!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute is great in some games March 8, 2008
Verified Purchase
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
When deciding to purchase this game, i came here, and read the reviews. All i can say is don't let the "cuteness" of this game fool you. It is an excellent adventure game, with challenging levels to test your skills.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that the game really does exude cute, from Parin(the main character), to all her friends in the game. They are all well thought out, and the storyline isn't all that bad, either, considering how many of it's type have come out before.

I judge games by how long i play them when i put them in, and considering i didn't put it down until i had to, this game is worth the playing to the end.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very decent PSP game March 8, 2007
Verified Purchase
Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars   
Gurumin is something that I've been waiting for a long time on the PSP for: A solid action-platformer. Gurumin delivers on all fronts, providing fun gameplay, superb music and fantastic visuals. I would recommend it if you don't mind the "kiddy" visuals.

This Game is one of those hidden treasure games for the PSP . Its very light hearted an very cute . I own a PS Vita and a PS3 and still find myself picking up my PSP and playing these cute rare hidden gems for the PSP . Graphics are good and decent for how old it is and compared to all these amazing new graphics yes its outdated , however I play games for more than graphics and this game is a must for your PSP collection .

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty cool.. July 27, 2009
Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
This game is pretty good for the price I paid for it. worth playing through maybe once or twice but no more than that. The enemies are repeated, but other than that it has a cute story (as predictable as it is) and it has some fun fighting scenes. It can be frustrating at times though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes! for RPG on the PSP June 17, 2007

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
This game is very fun and action-packed.

The game takes a smooth turn of events, the character moves quickly and stylishly making it anything but difficult or boring.

It's got a straight story plot and game play is easy to follow, not making it difficult to find many things. You get items you need somewhat esily at the very early stages of the game, so it's a definite must for RPG fans out there. It has been my favorite game so far on the PSP.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic game from beginning to end. January 2, 2010
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
As another review states, don't let the cuteness put you off. This is truly an awesome game, great adventure, some difficult bosses to kill, each level is fun. Also it is quite a long game, so will keep you entertained for hours.

After completing it I am truly surprised this game is not more well known. It is like medievil, one of the best psp games out there but so few know about it
