Talkman (PSP)

Herald rating: * * *

Pros: Using the PSP microphone that comes with Talkman ($90) you can choose from 3000 prerecorded phrases and translate them into six languages.

Cons: There's often an annoying lag while the PSP retrieves information from the disc.

Verdict: A clever idea to add value to the PSP that works better in theory than in practice but arms you with enough phrases to avoid looking like an ignorant foreigner. More a glorified phrasebook than a game.

Censor's classification: G
