More of the same, but that's not a bad thing.

Not a whole lot to say about this game. If you're a fan, then you know what to expect, and you pretty much are getting what you asked for. This is definitely one of the better Strategy RPGs around, and fans of the wacky characters and humorous dialogue of the Disgea series will definitely be happy with this game.

You'll obviously spend a lot of hours on this game as you level up your characters to be as strong as the possibly can be to get through the game's quest. This is nothing new to fans of this genre, but newcomers coming in to see what it all about may find level grinding a chore. Nothing can be more off-putting than going into the next story sequence completely overmatched because your characters are too low level to move on. However, most people that get this kind of game know what is ahead, so this is the least of any problems.

Although graphics aren't everything, I can't help but feel a little let down on the visual side of this game. Of course, games of this type aren't expected to be graphics powerhouses, but it would have been nice to see a little more effort here. Sprites are okay to look at for the most part, but get very blurry during closeups. This wouldn't mean to much for me if it was on say the PSP or PS2. But when I'm playing this game on Blu-ray disc, on the same console that gives me games like Ratchet and Clank Future and Uncharted, is it too much to expect clean, hi-def game sprites?

Overall though, you get what you pay for. The game has a descent price, although it could easily have been 10 bucks cheaper. But there is a lot of gameplay to be had here if you're interested which makes it more than worth the price of the admission. Fans will definitely find a lot to love here. Newbies should research first and make an educated choice.
