Every now and again you see a game that looks as though it might just be up your street and 'Disgaea 2' looked like it would blow me away.I have to say that I only got about three hours into this and decided I just didn't want to carry on with it.
I found the dialogue to be annoying and the way the game is structured just didn't grab my attention.I am a great fan of RPGs as a rule with the Final Fantasy series,Dragon Quest and Dark Cloud games being at the very top of the tree.Alas,for me at any rate this game comes nowhere near them.A pity as I had high hopes.
 More of the same and welcome December 21, 2006

Having bought the first game 6 months ago and enjoyed the humour and the sheer scope of play I was keen to buy the new game. Obviously the makers have had a larger budget this time, as the graphics are far better and the cut scenes much larger.
Despite coming off the back of a popular first game there is a large amount of hand holding at the beginning of the game. This does get slightly irritating as you spend the first few levels beating up easy opponents. As a result it does take some getting into.
However it is worth the wait. The characters are quirky and funny as ever, especially Tink - a frog with a split personality. The hero plays the straight guy comically well to the rest of the demonic cast and there is plenty of innuendo and casual references to sex and violence to keep anyone from year 10+ in giggles. The improvement in the graphics has brought improvements to the fighting as well. Combos and special moves are spectacular while the game simply looks good. Naturally not on your Final Fantasy scale but it does have charm.
The cut scenes are good as well - especially the news channel. The game is very tongue in cheek having a few sly digs at Star Wars (`wipe them out - all of them', `yes my master') and the character themselves squabbling and name-calling. The word `moron' is repeated a fair bit to describe our hero. It seems accurate to be fair.
There are decent improvements to the Dark Assembly bribery systems with different parties and people to placate before putting forward bills.
All in all a good buy.
More fun than should be allowed. November 7, 2006

If you like Disgaea then Disgaea 2 will not let you down. Some may claim it's just more of the same, but is that necessarily a bad thing ? Tactics and use of geo panels plays an integral part in winning, but there's more options available now.
The story and humour stick with the tried and tested formula and certainly don't miss.
My only complaint (and it was the same in Disgaea 1) is that the item world maps can often be too random. If you come across a map with ridiculously varying terrain you may as well just give up as the map is too frustrating (and eye watering) to read.
On the good side Etna is as cute and sarcastic as ever ^_^
Well worth the money and will give many hours of pleasure.
