Product Description
The beloved armor-clad Arthur charges onto the portable gaming scene in Ultimate Ghosts'N Goblins, an exciting side-scrolling action adventure game for the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system. The long awaited fourth installment to the favored franchise sees the triumphant return of valiant knight, Arthur, as he saves the princess from the clutches of evil. Specifically recreated from the ground up, witness the evolution of the series with the inclusion of exciting upgrades and new gameplay features. In Ultimate Ghosts'N Goblins, Arthur's heroic battle with the underworld was finally over and the entrance to the realm was sealed. Time passes and unknowing to mankind, the dark lord has awaken from his slumber and kidnaps the princess in an effort to conquer the human world. Arthur must set off for the evil forest to save the princess from imminent doom and keep the devil, as well as his minions, at bay. The excitement and intensity of the forerunner continues as our armored hero takes on this new challenge for the sake of humanity. With the use of a 3D graphics engine, the Ultimate Ghosts'N Goblins world comes alive as effects, cutscenes, backgrounds and animations are given more depth and richer detail. Retaining the classic design of the series, several new facets have been created for a broader range of motion and control techniques. Now our hero has the capability to dash, double-jump, shoot up or down, grab onto ledges, etc. Furthermore, a new leveling system allows gamers to build up Arthur's skills for more powerful magic abilities and attacks. New save feature allows gamers to revisit cleared stages at anytime New level-up system for more powerful abilities and attacks Novice - An easier mode for those not familiar with the series Standard - The default setting for those wanting a challenge Ultimate - A setting reminiscent of past Ghosts N Goblin titles Extra lives mean starting where players left

 Fantastic Game! August 10, 2007

Outstanding graphics and animation! Outstanding sound! Difficulty is spot on. Its definitely pushing the PSP. Its an absolute gem in the PSP library. If you consider yourself a gamer this is a must have. If your into old games the SNES version "Super Ghouls and Ghosts" is a blast as well but much more difficult then this version. Hey Capcom how about a PS3 version of this game?
stop being such a wimp, your fighting the DEVIL !! July 3, 2007

no matter who you are or how good you are at video games, this is just straight hard. not hard as in, wow, i finally beat that level, but hard as in, wow it only took me 30 seconds to die 5 times... continue? of course ! the shear number of times i have died playing this game must be in the near thousands, as each level only takes a few minutes to finish, and there are only 6 levels. how ridiculously easy it is to die is what make people freak out over this game. miscalculate a jump and you die, touch anything and you die (or loose armor and then die next time, just a matter of time, really) get knocked off a platform and you die. finding all the rings is a quest, some are hidden so well you will just be shocked that the game's creators had the nerve to make you look there (uhm, storm castle under the bottom of the screen for 30 seconds) and as for the "secret" where you can get unlimited lives and the knights soul if you get 2,000,000 or 30,000,000 points, hahaha! how about just trying to get 500,000 points !!! it is tough !!
now as to why it is sooo great... this game unfolds as you play and just makes you want to play more and more and more just to see what happens next (even though i admit the plot is thin) it is more a matter of what you find and what you get to upgrade art to the point that he has at least a chance to put up a good fight.
i have cracked out on this title for weeks and still need about 3 more of the 33 rings, which i admit i may never find as i have gone through every level at least 20 times and can imagine where to look that i have not looked.
the music rocks, will include in my halloween mix CD for sure.
best game i have ever played, maybe not, but i love it.
 one of the greats for psp! a must play! April 8, 2007

this game is the most fun i,ve had on psp so far. g.n.g is a retro 2d platformer that is ment to be played like one so dont use the save feature like the old days , plus it makes the game last alot longer. great gameplay sound and graphix they should make more 2d old school games like this for the psp.
Old-school fun updated fantastically January 4, 2007

This is one of my favorite games to come along for a long time on any recent system. The fact that it was made specifically for the PSP is a huge bonus to anyone who owns one. The original creator of the series returned to produce/direct this sequel and you can tell. If you ever enjoyed playing a ghosts n goblins or ghouls n ghosts game, you will simply crap your pants at how much better this game is. It plays like the old games, but there are more magic, more weapons, more challenge, etc. Also, the game continually gets more difficult every time you warp backwards to a previous stage, so you will be playing this for a long time. Frickin fantastic. Pure Genius. I love ultimate ghosts n goblins. PEACE.
Just like the old days - only updated December 19, 2006

This game is like an update of the gold old days. Ghosts 'N Goblins was one of the first Nintendo games I had ever played, and Ghouls 'N Ghosts was the first Genesis game I purchased, for around $70. I played those games to death and still play them on occasion. I was very happy to hear that they were updating it in 2D for the PSP. I like the 3D PS2 series, but I don't enjoy them as much. I will just say this - despite the increased appearance of "upgrades" to your character, this game is still hard as all heck. There are more enemies than before and they attack more viciously. I've only played the game for an hour so far, but I can already say its a worthy update to the series in 2D. If you're a fan, this purchase is a no-brainer!
