Song Comments:
Riviera is the first game on this list to hit the "three songs" cap. It finishes off with its final battle theme, which is also the reason why I think that this is a GBA rip and the PSP version has enhanced sound quality. This just sounded so much better when I was actually fighting the boss on my PSP.

Game Comments:
Riviera reminded me a lot of those books where you just read the story and sometimes make a decision that influences on which page the story progresses - but a lot more interactive, of course. For some reason I thought that it was a great game, with highly unusual gameplay that actually works. My only gripe was that, after losing a battle, you were forced to immediately retry that fight with nerfed opponents, meaning that if you didn't beat a boss on your first try, the game gave you a nerfed version, leaving you with a feeling that you never actually defeated the opponent you were up against.
