	Gamer's Logik 4.0 - Disgaea: The Hour of Darkness Review
		Disgaea simply oozes style, anime style that is, and if you're a fan of anime then you'll love the humor and overall story of Disgaea.
		Disgaea's graphics are not really noteworthy, they are not spectacular in a Xenosaga type of way, but they are crisp and well animated.
		The Dark Assembly is the part of Disgaea that controls many things that are indirectly related, from the creation of your army to the stocking of the item store in your castle to the quality of the units you create (the highest quality units require approval).

	Review - Disgaea: Hour of Darkness // PlayStation 2 /// Eurogamer
		Since you're not only egotistical and obnoxious, but also a Prince of the Netherworld, you decide that it's obvious who should be in charge, and set forth from your castle to restore the rightful demon (you) to the throne by means of the traditional "beat the crap out of everyone who disagrees with you" method.
		In Disgaea, they're wilful and deliberate, and they form a core part of what it is that makes this game so special.
		Indeed, if there was ever a game that defined the concept of a niche title, Disgaea would be it - and for that alone, and the sheer inaccessibility of the title to players new to the genre, we can't give this game a ten, much as it deserves it in almost every other way.

	Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories :: PlayStation 2 :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
		Disgaea 2 loses that unique edge of being the bad guy, and instead puts you in control of a kid with the mentality of a 10 year old and who is intent on being a hero.
		Disgaea is a turn by turn RPG, meaning that you'll spend a turn moving all of your characters and making your attacks/actions, then after you end your turn the computer will do the same.
		Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories provides a lot of depth inside of a game which is largely a copy of its original, just removing the great storytelling and incredible characters.

	Disgaea: Hour of Darkness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Disgaea follows the adventures of Laharl, a demon prince residing in the Netherworld.
		Some maps in Disgaea contain geo panels, which are represented as squares on the floor of the map of a particular color.
		The style of Disgaea's visuals is very similar to the Super Robot Wars series, as the makers of Disgaea have responded that characters represented by 3-D models in other games are often limited by a "set pattern of motions", and they were able to make the characters of Disgaea more expressive with sprites.

	Geek-Asylum.com Disgaea Review
		As the game starts, one of your loyal vassals (at this time, you have a whole one of those) is trying to wake you from a long slumber...you've been sleeping for the last 2 years, and thus missed the news of your father's demise.
		Last of all, the humans of Disgaea are seen as ignorant and power hungry, without enough common sense to ensure their own survival.
		Disgaea brought me back into a genre that I thought SquareEnix had forever pushed me away from with their pile of shit known as FFTA; the strategy RPG.

	RPGamer > Staff Review > Disgaea 2
		Disgaea 2 is centered around Adell, a heroic youth, and Rozalin, the spoiled daughter of the powerful overlord Zenon.
		The menus have improved a bit since Disgaea, and are fine in most places, but they leave a little to be desired when trying to organize a few dozen troops and a few hundred pieces of equipment, each of which possesses its own unique residents.
		Though none of the components that make up Disgaea 2 are especially spectacular on their own, they fit together very nicely along with interesting assembly and item customization systems and a fairly unique sense of humor to create a largely enjoyable experience.

	Disgaea: Hour of Darkness - GameCritics.com
		Sure, Disgaea: Hour of Darkness isn't evil in that horror film way—there are no monsters that pop out of your TV set like in The Ring or The Video Dead, nor will watching it lead to you getting strange phone calls and dying within seven days.
		Disgaea does a fine job of remaining accessible to the casual player while still offering all of the bonus stuff that the hardcore crowd goes nuts for.
		Disgaea is great and has a lot going, but I love and hate it at the same time.

		Disgaea's storyline, which unfolds using a combination of 2D artwork, text, and voice-overs, is overflowing with absurdly goofy Japanese humor, some of which is actually really funny.
		Disgaea is structured as a series of chapters, each containing a sequence of battles.
		Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories features new main characters and a new world where the original characters have supporting roles.

		For those who may have played the first one you might remember you were limited to either your castle or the battlefield, but in Disgaea 2, you’ll have access to a much more open world, and a little more varied scenery than the halls and walls of your castle.
		Disgaea was NIS’ first American release, and put its own special spin on the strategy RPG genre.
		As is typical for the genre, there is a character creation system, but in Disgaea 2 you must choose a character in your party to be the new character’s master, and when the student gains a level the student’s master will receive bonus points as well.

	Disgaea: Hour of Darkness :: PlayStation 2 :: Review :: DreamStation.cc
		Disgaea: Hour of Darkness obviously doesn’t utilize this technology because the graphics are ugly enough to be mistaken for a PSone game.
		Disgaea: Hour of Darkness has some weird controls, (what kind of game has you press triangle to bring up the main menu?) but because you are never rushed to make a move you’ll have more then enough time to adjust to the controls.
		Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is enhanced by the fact that strategy games for consoles are usually few and far apart.

	DailyGame Review: Disgaea: Hour of Darkness [PS2]
		Fans of the genre tend to be compulsive in their devotion to it, and have no qualms about investing dozens of hours into leveling up their characters in the quest to capture one more item, learn one more spell or defeat just one more boss.
		Teamwork in Disgaea is all about positioning, as the more powerful the ally you position alongside your attacking character, the more powerful your character’s attack can become.
		Disgaea packs a ton of gameplay into a deceptively simple looking package, and being someone who values gameplay over everything, I really can’t say enough good things about it.

	Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (ps2: 2003): Reviews
		Disgaea is the best game of its type to come along in a long while.
		Disgaea can be on the tough side, and the 'game over' screen will come up often, but with the Item World, the ability to continuously develop new characters from a pool of 150 and characters that can level up in four areas, the advantage is on your side.
		Disgaea’s visual and aural components may be somewhat dated, but the gameplay suffers from no such ailment.

		The Lowdown: Disgaea is a nicely polished, great tactical RPG with only a few quirks and flaws.
		Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is an RPG that falls squarely into a special and distinct subgenre.
		In Disgaea, the situation is the exact opposite.

		Welcome to the dilemma facing Adell, the hero of Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, a title that expands on Nippon Ichi's trademark sense of humor and strategic gameplay with a massive new story.
		Disgaea 2 starts off comically on the world of Veldime, whose inhabitants have all been cursed by Overlord Zenon to become demons.
		One of the newer additions to Disgaea 2 is the inclusion of shops and even hospitals within the Item World itself, which removes the need to rely on Mr.

		Disgaea 2, like the first Disgaea, isn't just a tactical RPG imported from Japan.
		Disgaea lets you play battle as many times as you want, mining them for experience for your characters.
		Unfortunately, this is where Disgaea 2 missed an opportunity to be friendlier to less obsessed/dedicated gamers.

		Disgaea is one of the funniest and most irreverent game I have ever played.
		The story for Disgaea is funny and doesn't make sense at times, but I think that may have been a plan of the developers from the beginning.
		Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is a fun time of a game and one that doesn't ever get old or boring.

	Review: Disgaea 2 (PS2) \| lawrence.com
		That said, Disgaea 2 is a deep, entertaining game that could easily keep you occupied for hundreds of hours.
		For those who haven’t played any of those titles before, the main focus of Disgaea 2 is on strategic turn-based battles that take place on tile-based maps.
		In case you couldn’t already tell, Disgaea 2 is a huge game, with a large variety of things to do.

	Disgaea: Hour of Darkness Unofficial OST
		Not only is Disgaea loaded with extra options, things to do, and unique concepts like the geo-panel system and picking up and throwing allies and opponents, but its story will have you thinking that one of those more serious strat games smoked an LSD-laced joint.
		The music for Disgaea is excellent, and widely varied, with pieces ranging from classical and operatic to cheesy sentai to techno, and yet there was never an official soundtrack release for the game.
		This was easier in Disgaea than some other games I've worked with because the music on the game's DVD ran a few seconds into the second loop before abruptly fading out, giving me more room to work with.

		The main character of Disgaea is Raharl, the bratty young prince of the Underworld.
		Disgaea does everything strategy RPG fans love better than any other game I have ever played, including Final Fantasy Tactics.
		On the other hand, you don’t have to play Disgaea for nearly that long to win it, and win it with the best ending.

		The story of Disgaea 2 is similar to first one, in that it is highly character driven and told with quite a bit of humor.
		The main campaign in Disgaea 2 is pretty short, I clocked in a little over 30 hours in my first play through, granted I barely touched much of the sidequests.
		Disgaea 2 has many different systems that enhance the playing experience, but unlike many games, doesn't force the player to learn how to work them all.

		Telling the tale of the self-absorbed Prince Laharl, Disgaea moves away from the typical "heroes of light" setting, and replaces it with a demon-infested netherworld.
		Awoken after a two-year slumber, Laharl is stunned to learn of his father King Krichevskoy's death and the massive civil war for the throne that has followed.
		Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (08/28/03) - Atlus' new tactical RPG excels thanks to solid gameplay and a dash of creativity.

	RPGFan Reviews - Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories
		During the interim, cousin titles to the Disgaea universe, such as Phantom Brave and Makai Kingdom, were released; but for some reason, they just did not seem to impress the hardcore 2D RPG fans the same way that Disgaea did.
		See, even from the start, this is what makes NIS titles like Disgaea 2 so different: they openly and willingly break the fourth wall, willingly mocking the sort of hackneyed story you've explored over and over in countless role-playing games.
		The main graphical attraction with Disgaea is, of course, the anime-style characters and backgrounds.

	Disgaea 2: PlayStation 2 (PS2) Game Previews - The Armchair Empire
		Unlike Hour of Darkness, however, where players stepped into the role of Laharl, crown prince of the netherworld, controlling his team of demons in an attempt to take the place over, this time you'll be playing a good guy.
		Although that always has the potential to make some players feel like they're covering familiar ground, it's tough to argue with the 100 hours of gameplay the title is promising.
		Be on the lookout for Disgaea 2 late this summer, you penguin killers.

	G4 - Feature - 'Disgaea: Hour of Darkness' (PS2) Review
		"Disgaea: Hour of Darkness," brought to us by the tiny-yet-reliable Atlus, is such a game.
		This would be cheesy in another game, but "Disgaea" is balanced with such odd tactics in mind, so you need to think creatively to succeed in the later challenges.
		There are PSOne games that look better than "Disgaea." Despite the solid character designs and over-the-top attacks, the game looks horribly dated.

		Disgaea has an outstanding story line with many diverse and colourful characters from the cold hearted leharl to the pleasently ignorant and plain funny "Captain Gordan Defender of earth!".
		Disgaea is an SRPG or strategy RPG much like Final Fantasy Tactics or Vandal Hearts.
		Disgaea is a tactical/strategic RPG in the vain of Vandal Hearts and Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, in that you have an isometric battlefield map in which you deploy your characters and get engaged in turn based movement and battle against different enemies.
