Game Chronicles 10 of 10
NIS graced the gaming community with one of the most in-depth strategic RPGs I have ever seen this year. Well the fun doesn't stop with the PS3 release. NIS has brought back the title that started it all over 5 years ago. That's right Disgaea: Hour of Darkness has been adapted to the DS with new controls and a few new additions along the way...To say the least these last 5 years have not been without a slew of good Strategy RPGs. However the Disgaea series is without a doubt one of the most intensely fun Strategy RPGs on the market. Disgaea is a series that I have only just come to gain any real experience with as Disgaea 3 was the first title I have ever played. But my knowledge of the genre has helped considerably...While Disgaea DS is a huge undertaking and will give players countless hours of gameplay, one thing sets this title and series apart from its competitors... a sense of humor. There is a lot of quirky storytelling involved with this title, including a love interest of the weirdest kind. A large part of the reason I like this title is because of the story and NIS does an amazing job...Disgaea features the same style of zany music (sans the annoying singing) that can be found in the Disgaea series. The voice acting is pretty cool; however there is no option to play this title with a Japanese voice track like the other titles. With the limited constraints of the DS cartridges it is an understandable sacrifice. The sound effects are also pretty good and I still can't get enough of the Prinnies...All in all I found Disgaea DS to be simply amazing. This being my second experience with the series had made me wonder why I have not picked up the previous titles...I highly recommend this title to any fan of the series or for anyone looking for a long and challenging experience. - Jason Flick
