One of the best strategy games for PS2

Strengths: Characters, story line and Customization

Weakness: Few slow moments during cutscenes and animations

Not as good as the first but the first set the bar...

Strengths: Great story, excellent characters, many hours of entertainment.

Weakness: Lacks some of the charm of the first game. Main characters are not the same as in the 1st game.

The game looks and sounds great, particularly the voice acting. Some characters from the original are in the game although they are not main characters which may turn some people away. The game may be too long for casual, non-strategy rpg types.

Disgaea 2

Strengths: Sequel to one of the greatest console strategy RPG's ever made

Weakness: Not much different than the first

The first Disgaea game is a compelling strategy game that can take you over 100 hours to fully complete. The sequel is similar, with some minor tweaks to the gameplay. Basically, if you liked the first one then you will appreciate the new story and minor differences this time around. If you haven't played the first, then it doesn't really matter - play either one. The game is not for beginners...

Ready Dood?

Strengths: Improves on the first in just about every way

Weakness: I found the story in the first one to be more enjoyable

If you loved the first Disgaea, then you'll love this as well. For those that don't know, this series is known for being a great SRPG (like Final Fantasy Tactics). It's deep, funny, charming, and very enjoyable. If you've never played a SRPG or don't even know what a SRPG is though, this game may take a while to get used to. Overall, I'd say this is a must buy.

SRPG goodness

Strengths: Engaging story, excellent gameplay

Weakness: Subpar graphics for the platform

This sequel to the first Disgaea from NIS is an improvement in all ways (other than graphics). Those looking for a solid strategy RPG could do much worse than the Disgaea series. Though the graphics in these games are generally on the lower-end of what you would expect out of a PS2 game, the fantastic storyline and intuitive game mechanics more than make up for it. There are numerous optional...

Dood!

Strengths: Nippon Ichi gameplay. Cool cameos and unlockables. Japanese voice acting. Prinnies.

Weakness: Definitely geared more towards fans of Nippon Ichi. Story and new characters are not as endearing as the first.

As I mentioned in my previous Disgaea review, this game is definitely geared towards fans of strategy RPG’s, in particular, Nippon Ichi’s style of gameplay. The gameplay, slightly risqué humor, large cast of characters and unlockables are still present along with the main story and power leveling parts. The gameplay is almost an exact duplicate of the first with some minor additions (Dark...

One of The Best SRPGs Is Back

Strengths: Lots of Replay

Weakness: Camera Problems (At Times)

Disgaea 2 is a Strategy RPG game and while it's one of the best on the PS2 it's very much like the first game overall. The battles take place on an isometric battle field on which you will move around and attack enemies in turn based battle. In Disgaea 2 they added a felony system in which your characters may get accused of a crime and will have to go to court and if they are found guilty will be...
