THE GOOD: Great story, battle system, graphics, music, extended play, choice of characters....well everything is just great!
THE BAD: It isn't made by Squaresoft, meaning that many will not give this game a chance.
SUMMARY: First time I played Final Fantasy Tactics, I loved it! A couple hours into the game I was sick of it, the battles took too long and characters took to long to level up. I think the creator of Disgaea had the same complaints. The battles seem to move quicker and characters don't move on at a time but rather the whole team takes a turn. The storyline makes you feel as if you are playing a japanese anime with its humor moments all in the speech. The game incorporates combonations attacks and team attacks with characters screaming or grunting with all the attacks. You want a side quest...there is a place called item world in which you can enter any item to power it up and make the utimate weapon/armor . If you are used...
THE GOOD: It has a funny plot, multiple endings and SO much character customization! And lots of secrets! HIGH replay value. You can create human and monster characters. And any person has the choice of using ANY weapon, though some classes are more skilled at certain ones.
THE BAD: Sometimes I miss the action from an action RPG, but what can you expect? It's a STRATEGY RPG! I also wish there was a way to skip sequences during new game+ (you can skip the mini sequences, but not end-of-chapter sequences).
SUMMARY: If you like FFT at all, this game has all that plus MUCH more! The whole idea of controlling demons and being on the side of the netherworld is awesome. Plus, you discover that the demons aren't just "evil" and actually have character and feelings of their own. Too make the plot even better, angels and humans become the villains!!
THE GOOD: incredible amounts of replay value, interesting cast, funky soundtrack, well-written dialogue, addictive gameplay, stylish art
THE BAD: PS1 graphics, poor English voice acting (with the exception of Etna), some overly sentimental plot twists towards the conclusion
SUMMARY: Disgaea immediately departs from the ordinary by giving you control of, not a one-deminsional hero out to save the planet from certain doom, but a spoiled demon prince with the goal of taking over the Netherworld. With a cast of quirky characters and humorous situations, Disgaea breaths new life into the strategy RPG genre that has long been considered dead. The genre's simple controls leave room for heavily strategical situations within the fourteen required levels, a number of secret realms, and the randomly generated 100-level item worlds inside the over 1,000 weapons, accessories, and armor available. Disgaea's systems of attaining abilities and raising...
THE GOOD: Graphics (sprites! ^^), storyline, character development, music, battle system, many special abilities and magic, many different monsters, excellent animations for special abilities, secret areas, and multiple endings.
THE BAD: The English voices.
SUMMARY: I had always thought that Final Fantasy Tactics was the best strategy RPG ever made. That was until I played Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. The storyline is nothing less than excellent, and the characters are very well devoloped. The battle system seems a little complex at first, but anyone who's played a strategy RPG will be able to pick it up pretty quickly. The only thing I can find wrong with this game is that the english voices aren't that good, but show me a recent game that doesn't have at least one character with a bad english voice. Lastly, the music is extraordinary. I've listened to every song on the game at least 15 times each and they still sound just as awesome as the...
THE GOOD: Good? were to start? Well pritty much every thing, weapons, chracters, Story, chracter class its a very well done game!
THE BAD: hmm while its litarly perfect, i dont like the Dark assembly judges its a pain to get them to say YES! and that u cant realy carry on skills when u change class.
SUMMARY: WOW i loved final fantasy tactics, and advance, but this game blows them away! funny charcters, a cool story line, i love the job class! the weapons are good for a tactics game, I love the "mana" it makes it feal like U realy R makin a new charcter out of magic! also i like the promotion exams and just about every thing in the game also the music is really good I RECOMEND EVERY ONE who likes tactics games go buy or rent this its really is good i hope for a sequel!
SUMMARY: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness may be Atlus' greatest undertaking. This game is incredible from the get-go. Plenty of action packed RPG styled fighting with the tactic/strategy system and tons of combos and factors that competitor games couldn't even fathom. The storyline's pretty engrossing, you won't find a boring moment in it. The beginning is very tutorial oriented, but that's of course to prepare you for what's to come. I haven't played through the game yet. To tell you the truth, I just purchased it and barely made much progress. From what I can tell, this game has everything you'd look forward to in an RPG and more. You'll definately be kept busy with this one. I can already see how the replay value is insanely high. Tons of endings, levels, characters, skills, and classes await in this masterpiece. What makes things even better is the voices, which really adds to this unique gameplay experience. I...
THE GOOD: alot of job classes like FF and alot of special moves equip them with weapons,armor,and much more.like Item World,Dark Assembly and much more but watch out for the Item World because if you enter an item which is strong watch the level in there will be high! the highest level you can get here is 9999 which is good and challenging the people that you can make are good too,like male warriors,female warriors,gun masters,theifs,brawlers,Jack the Ripper which is a pumpkin,Serpents,Dragons,Chess pieces that look like gargoyles,Mages and Skulls that know elements like Fire,Ice,Wind and Star,and they can be improved in their classes which is good
THE BAD: needs more moves, more job classes, make the game longer.
SUMMARY: this is one of the best RPG's ever it's a very good game to play and its interesting with some humor,action,and Role Playing, also graphics are cool and the soundtrack is great too,special moves are cool too,and weapons and...
THE GOOD: This game has a great amusement to it. Though there is some mild language, it is all good fun playing through this game. The plot is wonderful, instead of playing the well known hero, you are an evil demon instead, which turns things around for you. Doing bad things, stealing stuff, fighting other demons who are just as bad as you, it's cool. The game play added to it is enough for you. It keeps you busy for a while.
The characters were very well designed, Laharl, the demon Prince, son of the overlord of the netherworld who's goal is to become Overlord himself and destroy anything that blocks his way. His companion Etna, the cute young demon who looks like a young devil/succubus girl. She's got a fiery attitude and a look that could kill. There has to be someone good in this game, someone holy and innocent which is the young Angel Flonne, who comes to the Netherworld, but teams with Laharl. there is also Vyers, the one known as the dark adonis or mid...
SUMMARY: Opening Note This game is an excellent addition to any RPG/Strategy fan's library. It offers a good story, great gameplay, endless options, and so many hours ticked off your life you will lose count.
Story The plot revolves around Laharl, son of the former Overlord, King Krichevskoy. At the start of the game, Laharl is awakend by his vassal, Etna, another demon. She informs him that his father died 2 years ago and that Laharl had been sleeping all that time. Expecting to immediately reclaim his father's throne, Laharl quickly realizes that the Netherworld has essentially forgotten his existence, and several noble demons (many of whom were his father's former vassals) are vying for the throne and title of 'Overlord.'
And thus, Laharl's quest to retake his father's throne begins. However, the story does not end with the crowning of Laharl. Afterwards, he must deal with the...
THE GOOD: Great battle system, Comedy enriched storyline!
THE BAD: Graphics are not the greatest in the world, Later job classes don't change much in detail (Only hair colour & clothing colours change).
SUMMARY: Disgaea follows the misadventures of young Prince Laharl who is trying to succeed his father as the Overlord of the Netherworld after awakening from a 2-year nap. The battles are similar to Final Fantasy tactics, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem. The battle system is unique and you will find battling hordes of demons very enjoyable as you progress through the game and your characters level up. You can create your own characters at the place called the Dark Assembly as well as increase character rankings and petition for new items in the shops and new worlds to be unlocked. This game also features the unique 'Item World' feature that allows you to enter a randomly generated world of any item you own. This adds more depth to the...
