"Disgaea: Hour of Darkness"

I noticed that a lot of people have been talking about this game recently and I thought that it would be good to have your opinions of it. Lalakersrule says that he has clocked up 800 hours on it so either it is very very addictive or Lalakersrule is extremely sad. ;-) Anyway, I was looking through the latest issue of Official Playstation Two Magazine and I saw a preview of it and to my horror it only had a quarter of a page when GTA: San Andreas had six pages on it! So I looked down and saw why. 2D graphics!!! I know that it has sold millions in Japan and other countries but I never thought that it would have Two-dimesional graphics. I am not saying that graphics are the most important part of a game but I expected a game that had sold so well to have at least half-decent graphics for god's sake. But I still think that after so many good reviews there is quite a large chance of me buying it when it comes out over here.

So what do you guys think of it? I don't want people saying stuff like 'oh yeah, it sounds good'. I want people who have imported it to give me a first-hand review and help me out.

Thanks in advance,

Wakka.

Cool. I'm a bit skint at the moment because I'm getting a season ticket at Hamilton Accies for next season so I'll have to save up before I buy another game.

Wakka's probably next purchases - Driv3r (Platinum), Disgaea (Platinum) and GTA: San Andreas.

yup, saw it in the shops while i was browsing around the import sections yesterday up town. Box art is a bit sucky compared to the US version but ah well.

Is it out here yet?

Ermmm there's far more than a dozen senators, each time you call on the Dark Assembley you have a random number of them show up, so far i've seen the figure go from 13 at it's lowest to 28 at the highest. There's alot more as well in the whole list though i haven't actually counted them.

Yea it's brilliant having them on DVD, just being able to watch Friends whenever you want. I only need series' 2, 5, 7 and 10 now.

Excellent.

I already have series one, so I'll probably grab two and three.

Oh, and the price difference is because the later series' have extended episodes on side B.

Yes. So it should be £20 for a box set from the first six series', and £40 from series 7 onwards.

Would that be DVD box sets perchance?

Lucky you.
