Game Revolution: Disgaea 3 Review

Game Revolution writes: "AND on the Eighth Day-right around that annoying ‘Japanese siesta’ slot when all the really good sushi restaurants inexplicably shut down from 2 to 5PM -God created ‘fan service’. And He looked on the weird-ass, stoopid-hard, crazy-deep turn-based strategy, and He called it Disgaea, for the third time. And He saw that it was good.

Set in a stylish, demonic Netherworld-yep, another one-Disgaea 3 tells the tale of Mao, a student attending ‘Evil Academy’. The sprawling campus is a sort of infernal Hogwarts, populated by all manner of monsters and demon-students whose fashion sense runs somewhere between a Dungeons & Dragons session in the middle of a Harajuku anime-festival and Casual Friday on the bridge of the Battlestar Galactica."

+ Deep, nigh-endlessly-replayable strategy

+ Excellent presentation

+ Personality and humor to burn

+ Even the English voicework rocks

+ Fan Service-O-Rama

– Camera still low-rent

– Bitch-kitty of a learning curve

– Tutorial still inadequate, dood

– Why is this PS3-only?
