This thread has been linked to the game '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.

No... I just take long, 2-3 month vacations so I can miss the elections. The pressure scares me.

Cool. I might look into it.

Heh. No, it was a Sega MegaDrive game. Quite near the end of Sega's life. 1994 it was released. You are quite new to this forum, aren't you? If you were a bit older then you would know that I talk about Shining Force 2 24/7. ;-)

You should, it's the sequel to Dark Cloud - but it's completly different. Cel-Shaded graphics too, mmmmmmmmmmmm... And it's got the best icon creation system ever. Period.

Great idea. No, it's not on the PS2 (as yet) but I have campigned for it several times, so some day Sony will give in. ;-)
