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.

My team was about lvl 10 but my tactics were to leave Laharl and Etna on the first step and leave them there to keep them out of the archers range and kill the ghosts that attack, then my Brawler legged it to the three geo symbols to the left and destroyed them one by one until the archers lost their attack power and then made my move to vitory.

Well as long as Laharl gets to learn their spells then after that nope it's not too important. However it is good to have a well rounded character, it just depends on how much time you're willing to devote to developing them. Personally i just have 5 uber powerful characters and the other 5 are just for either damage magnets or throwing people

Well, I bought Super Smash Bros. Melee at the same time - so whenever things start to drag, I give that a bash. I don't think 2 games could be any different.

Laharl has 3, Etna 2 and my Warrior has 1.

Give it time and that's one trade in you'll regret...
Yea i can appreciate that, really is a game to get the most out of it you need to devote large chunks of time to it. Just levelling up my Yoshi killing all the enemies in it took me about 13 hours. That's more than the majority of games last for
I bought it and played it for around 20 hours, and I appreciate how good it is. But it was just taking up too much of my time so I decided to trade it for something else, something that was more pick up and play.
Anyway so after listening to me go all fanboyish over it for months, now most people have had a chance to play it now what are your opinions of it? Was i right?
I could only find that one
Is there a Shining Force 2 for the GBA?

Koei just published it over in Europe like Atlus did in America, the makers of the game are Nippon Ichi software. They've now got a base in California so more of their games should be coming over hopefully
