"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.

Score.

It's just that CGJ asked who liked the FIFA tourney and no-one replied apart from Bagz and Forest Fan.

Yeah why not.

Hey Mav, do you even care about my FIFA Prediction Tournament?

Just checked out some screenshots and the 2D isn't so bad. After all, it's just the character models and the lighting is alright.

However, it's still a disappointment and the isometric viewpoint is slightly off-putting (though it doesn't make the graphics seem so bad).

At the moment i'm transmigrating everyone again apart from Laharl, my ronin and my dragons. I think this is about the 7th time now. My elite ninja had a stored level of 74,000 :-D

You smack them around a bit until they have a small bit of HP left then chuck them onto your base panel and hopefully the monster gets captured. You can capture any enemy you like apart from bosses. At the moment i'm amassing an army of Dragons and having a dragon only game going through the item world. It just prolongs the game really and is something fun to do.

Not at all

You do wander into different world but can have as many characters as you like although you can only have no more than 10 characters out on the field at one time but if a character dies then they still count towards the ten

Aww man... 2D graphics?

I'm still interested, but that's slightly off-putting.

How can you capture dragons in the game and why?
is this like pokemon?
i thought you just wandered into diffrent worlds with like 7 characters.:D

***SPOILERS*






Look out in episode 9 for the total rip off of the Lost in Space robot and speaking of him look out for the guy with it. I'm convinced the guy who does that characters voice over is the same person from Futurama who welcomes Fry to the future in Futurama when he says

*Welcome to the world of tomoRROOWWW!!!*
