I just started playing Death Jr. on my PSP and within the first level there is a section where the play area is almost completely black. It makes it annoying to play a game when you can't see where to go. Does anyone else notice this from time to time? I also noticed this when playing X-Men Legends II. It seems like an oversight when developing for the PSP.

PlayStation games tend to be on the darker side, especially compared to Nintendo games (been almost a fact for several years).

I had the PSP brightness up all the way but this helped. Thanks.
 
There are some games though where no matter what your system setting is are too dark (*cough* Splinter Cell Essentials).
 
King Kong is the same way. I assume it's when developers don't bother actually trying the game on a PSP to see how it looks before releasing it. ie "it looks fine on my completely different computer monitor!"

Happens more in launch games-the same thing happened on the Gameboy Advance where early games were unplayable (well, even more unplayable than the already worthless non-backlit screen made them).
