Ultimate Ghosts 'N Goblins may not be a particularly original title (or one with highly-responsive controls), but it's still a great, great showpiece for Sony's handheld system. The long overdue weapons and abilities that Arthur has gained for this installment are just the beginning -- as the game's truly excellent visuals, smart difficulty settings, and solid action-platforming make for one heck of a fun (albeit short-lived) day at the graveyard. Don't forget about the strong portable save options, multitude of hidden goodies, or the killer remixed soundtrack either.
