 Disgaea DS August 18, 2010
Christopher Stearns
Ug... Look, I don't know if the game gets better as it progresses, but from what I could tell the game is slow, tedious and horrible unbalanced. I put a good 17 hours into this game, but my save only says 9. Why? Because I died a lot. And I don't mean like, "Oops! I walked off a cliff." I mean like I just spent two hours hacking through some horrible, randomly generated dungeon before running into a randomly generated challenge that would be impossible even if spent the next ten hours leveling up!
My point being that, although its not a bad game, it is extremely time consuming. In fact, time wise, it's a horrible investment. The cost of the game was nothing but those 17 hours; I will never get those back.
Oh, and also the voice acting is horrible. As is most of the dialog.

Disgaea is perhaps the best JRPG I've ever played. What I love is the number of classes available to you as well as a wealth of items which you can level up. The base story itself will easily take you at LEAST 30+ hours if you power through it and you'll only need to "power level" your characters once or twice for that.
But if you take the time to explore the item world, it will easily suck another 20-40 hours. And once you finish the game, (and performed the necessary in game check) the Etna Plus mode will open up which is significantly harder. Let's put it this way, finishing the base game once only requires a level 100+ character. But the ultimate boss which is totally optional and only in the etna plus mode is level 9000+. All the additional Assembly worlds that can be unlocked are all optional.
Again totally optional. I've logged 86 hours, and dragging the base game out and just unlocked the Angel class which is awesome but then there is also the Majin class which is still locked for me. (Check out [...])
Its the perfect game to play for several 1+ hour in order to level up or do the item world and get more powerful.
I really really want Disgaea 2 (Or any of the other Disgaea's) to be released on the DS.

This is a downgrade from the previous two versions I say the PSP one is the best by far I has the best graphics and voice acting but enough of that this review is for the Disgaea Afternoon of Darkness on the DS known as the Disgeae DS. Some new things added in this version first of all there is a Prinny Commentary which can be accessed as soon as you get an ending. Also there are some more special characters that can be enlisted like Plenair the mascot and some fun surprises. This game is still lots of fun I recommend it. So go build an army and rule the Nether World and a few other worlds too lol.

This game is pretty witty and fun. The story is cheesy fun and there are lot of things to do. Warning though the game does get repetitive, As long as you limit yourself to about an hour a day though you wont burn out playing it and should have a wonderful time with this game.
 The First Disgaea Ported to the DS February 11, 2010
W. Cintron (FL, USA)
This game is, in essence, "Disgaea Hour of Dakrness" From the playstation 2 ported over to the Nintendo DS. While i always loved this game for its unique appeal and anti-hero cast, anyone who is looking to get the same experience as the original should be warned so they won't be dissapointed:
The graphics have been reduced from their original quality to something that the DS--with it's relatively low capabilities--can render. It can even skip a few frames of display (aka. lag) in heavily crowded Item World Maps.
Second, the game's music, which was incredibly brilliant in the original has not been directly ported, it's bitrate is now something like a hybrid between the venerable midi and a normal mp3. So it sounds dull by comparison.
Thankfully a few features have been added to the game to make it more interesting, like new secret characters, levels and Etna mode (where you play through Etna's campaign.)
Overall the experience is very close to the original, even though I miss the great music a quite a bit. If you keep the above in mind your play through should be a good one.
