Exit, one of the PSP's most unique games thus far, can be thought of as a mashup of Jordan Mechner's classic Prince of Persia (the 2D, puzzle-esque one, not the modern revivals) and Lemmings.
Mr. ESC, an escape artist who rescues people from dangerous situations for pay, uses only his wits and various objects (ropes, ladders, bridges, fire extinguishers) to get them out.
The graphics -- abstract, cel-shaded polygons -- are very striking and emphasize the puzzle-esque nature of the game. The music isn't as unique, but tense and fitting for the game.
Gameplay consists of two parts: moving Mr. ESC around (with D-pad and buttons) and directing the rescued persons to move out of harm's way or to assist Mr. ESC (using the analog nub and triangle). Mr. ESC moves in a rather stilted way, much like the old-school Prince, but controls are capable once you adjust to the slow pace.
And slow-paced this game is. Do not get this game for fast action or for fluid movement; get it for its uniquely involving gameplay and style. It's a long game, too, with many levels included and more downloadable. For its current budget price, it's a PSP must-have.
