  • Summary: Darkness is back. Overlord Zenon has cursed the land, and now, Veldime is transforming into a nasty Netherworld. Memories are sterlized, bodies demonized, the world is falling into chaos. The only one unaffected is a young man, Adell. He stands up to fight the curse, but things never go as planned. The haughty daughter of Zenon, a filthy little frog, lovable demon siblings and a washed-up rock star!? No one can ever predict what goes on in the world of Disgaea. And of course, other Overlords refuse to sit still watching. [NIS America] Expand

  1. There is no better value for your buck than getting a game that supports HUNDREDS of hours of play time, and Disgaea 2 does that. The sheer amount of character building and fantastic humor all make for a game that you WANT to play for that long too.
  2. Disgaea 2 is certainly a game that stat whores will waste hours on. You can get to ridiculous levels and do attacks that would make Final Fantasy lose it's lunch.
  3. 85
    An awesome strategy title that manages to provide an obscene level of depth and strategy with at least 8 endings, hundreds of characters to create or discover, a new court system and an additional Shadow World on top of the Item World.
  4. If you regularly immerse yourself in the crazy s*** that comes out of Japan, Disgaea 2 probably won't faze you. Everybody else: You've been warned. [Sept. 2006, p.99]

    The game is a fleshed out more polished version of the hit Disgaea: Hour of Darkness. It'll provide hundreds of hours of gameplay, multiple endings and a lot of features that weren't included in the first. Some of which are: The dark sun, new character animations, friendlier interface, more fleshed out and useful item world with many more surprises, many different creatures and classes, a more solid dark assembly system that gets extremely interesting and deep once you start befriending certain parties and becoming the enemies of others. Don't let anyone that hasn't played deep enough to see past the 'stacking' attack fool you. There are so many features in this game that going through it the first time simply isn't enough to see them all, even just the new ones. And you can expect an adult themed humurous and deep storyline, capable of competing with the first, on top of all that. Expand

    Gameplay is incredible, the story is pretty boring, the graphic is lousy. The game takes hundreds of hours. Value for the money.

    I consider average. The story and gameplay is not bad. But the graphics well... NIS never update the because they thought retro RPG game is best than today RPG modern game. 3D graphics is just like a PS1 and the spirtes look like super nitendo. NIS sound actors is reconsider the best. Buy the Disgaea 2 Dark Hero Days instead. Expand
