    another great SRPG from nippon itchi . this is probubly my least favorite disgaea game although dont get me wrong its stil a solid SRPG that should be played by every SRPG fan with out a doubt . my issues are Disgaea is built around goofy main charicters like laharl and Moa . Adel just doesnt really fit as the lead charicter he just to normal and a goody goody . Axel would have been amuchanother great SRPG from nippon itchi . this is probubly my least favorite disgaea game although dont get me wrong its stil a solid SRPG that should be played by every SRPG fan with out a doubt . my issues are Disgaea is built around goofy main charicters like laharl and Moa . Adel just doesnt really fit as the lead charicter he just to normal and a goody goody . Axel would have been amuch better choice because he's the biggest Goof . i also didnt ike the new judge system very much . the item world isnt the best yet eather unlike disgaea 3 which they perfected . alot of the problems i had with disgaea 1 are still present but the voice acting is fun the story is entertaining i love that etna , floan and laharl make appearnces in this game . there is new content with the Axel mode which tells Axels story . and it follows the disgaea model by giving you 100s of hours of gameplay . how many games can you say that about?… Expand

    This game is pure genious, even has disgaea 3 characters as playable characters and has so much replay value to keep users playing for months and months without getting bored.

    Disgaea 2 Dark Hero Days is a port of the Disgaea 2 from the Playstation 2. It has some additional features such as the inclusion of Disgaea 3 Characters as playable characters and a new gameplay feature which was seen in Disgaea 3. Though the game's storyline isnt as dynamic or humorous as Disgaea 1's, fans will recognize alot of easter eggs from the first game and will surely enjoy theDisgaea 2 Dark Hero Days is a port of the Disgaea 2 from the Playstation 2.

    The story and characters are ok and the gameplay gets a touch repetitive as time progresses, however, the fantastic music and fun visual design make this an overall entertaining time. Strategy element of the game is not quite as intense as other games in the genre but that fits with the goofy tone.

    Dark Hero Days is not only one of the most enjoyable sequels with a lot to offer SRPG fans but it’s also one of the more surprisingly fun Disgaea games to come along on the PSP.

    It's funny, it's charming, and it's an absolute blast to play for both aspiring Demon Lords and returning Overlords.

    In a time when many games feel a bit watered down in order to appeal to a wide market, it's refreshing to play an unabashedly hardcore and complex game like this. Hands down, this is one of the deepest and most fun strategy games you'll ever play.
