	Hardcore Gaming 101: Megami Tensei / Shin Megami Tensei
		"Megami Tensei" translates to "Reincarnation of the Goddess" B this is because the female protagonist in the original story was the reincarnation of the Japanese creation deity Izanami.
		Graphically, Megami Tensei 2 is far better than the original, although the color choices in some of the dungeons are a bit questionable (your shelter is an eye-punching green), but there's a greater variety in the graphics, with more detailed backgrounds and enemies.
		Megami Tensei 2 is where the series really began to take shape, especially with its unique setting, and has aged quite a bit more gracefully than its predecessor.

	RPGFan Reviews - Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
		Shin Megami Tensei, on the other hand, is a series that really doesn't have much in terms of character drama or anything like that.
		Traditionally in a Shin Megami Tensei game, you explore not only the world, but the different ideologies within the world and which ending you receive is based on which ideology you go along with.
		Veteran Megami Tensei fans may be displeased with the streamlining, and in some cases simplifying, of the series' trademark systems.

	Atlus USA presents Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne
		The original Shin Megami Tensei was the third in the Megami Tensei (or "MegaTen") series, and first appeared on the Super Famicom in 1992.
		Shin Megami Tensei II is a direct sequel to the original SMT.
		Shin Megami Tensei (pronounced "shin MEH-gah-mee TEN-say") is a Japanese phrase that translates as "True Goddess Metempsychosis."

	Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga
		The Shin Megami Tensei series is an extremely long running series although most European RPG gamers will probably not know much about the series, as it has primarily been released only in Japan.
		Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (aka Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call here in Europe) was the first title in the series to be released in the US and Europe and it's fair to say the critics were impressed with it.
		Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga is the second game in the series to make it to our shores and once again it's a game RPG gamers are going to want to get their hands on.

	RPGFan Previews - Shin Megami Tensei
		The original Shin Megami Tensei was released in 1992 for the Super Famicom but never made it to North American shores because of its occult themes and dark undertones.
		Set in modern day Japan and focused on controlling the supernatural, Shin Megami Tensei required players to negotiate with demonic creatures to acquire their employ against opposing forces.
		Shin Megami Tensei's remake for the Game Boy Advance will be released in Japan sometime in 2003.

	Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga > Review
		While this is certainly not the first time themes of cannibalism have worked their way into videogames, it's without a doubt the first time it's been a game's central theme, and even more to the point, the game is absolutely unapologetic about it.
		Keep in mind, many would argue this is a good thing, as Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne was often a little too cryptic, and many undoubtedly had a hard time figuring it out.
		I, however, tend to think that's one of Shin Megami Tensei's best qualities, and I think it's unfortunate that they are subdued here, although it ultimately makes Digital Devil Saga more accessible, which seems to be the point.

	RPGamer > Staff Review > Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner
		Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner marks a bit of a new direction for the series, using a far more lighthearted tone and lighter level of difficulty to move it ever-so-slightly closer to mainstream RPGs.
		The game uses a story set in a recognizable period of history to present a unique and intriguing take on the series universe, but its new combat system, which exchanges the complexity of the Press Turn system for a simplistic real-time system, means that the game is somewhat less engaging than previous entries have been.
		Overall, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner isn’t quite the game that SMT: Nocturne or the Digital Devil Saga games were, but the new ideas it brings to the table makes it a worthwhile play for history buffs and series fans alike.

		The Shin Megami Tensei series may quite literally be the most popular RPG series you've never heard of.
		Shin Megami Tensei II is a direct sequel, albeit one that begins many years afterward.
		There are far, far too many side series and offshoots of Megami Tensei to list here – the fact that there are over 20 games in the line, and only 2 or 3 in the main franchise up until Nocturne, should give you some idea of what we're talking about.

		When we released these 3 titles, we felt that using “Shin Megami Tensei” name which we thought would be difficult to pronounce for the American gamers was not a good idea.
		Another reason why we decided to finally use this brand name was that “Nocturne” was the first of this series which utilized full 3D graphics which obviously has an appeal to the audience in the US.
		Cel-shading seems to be dominant in both Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga.

	Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga Sony Play Station 2 Video Game Review by AceGamez
		The Shin Megami Tensei series is based on a novel by Aya Nishitani and has been around since the days of the NES in Japan and has followed on to the Super NES and PlayStation.
		Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga is part of a two game continuity that concludes with Digital Devil Saga 2 later in the year.
		Although it would be useful to have a vague idea about the Shin Megami Tensei universe, the game does ease you into proceedings and never feels overly pretentious as to make you feel left out if you have never experienced this bizarrely dark universe in the past.

		Shin Megami Tensei II Shin Megami Tensei (commonly called Digital Devil Story in English) is an excellent entry in Atlus' Megami Tensei, a hugely popular RPG series that was rarely translated or released outside Japan.
		Shin Megami Tensei II tells the story of a new protagonist: a amnesiac gladiator named Aleph who fights under pseudonym.
		If you are interested in console-style RPGs but are put off by cute anime graphics and simplistic nature of most console RPGs, Shin Megami Tensei II, like its predecessor, is one title that will change your mind.

		While you may not have heard of it before, the Megami Tensei series, roughly translated as True Goddess Reincarnation, is one of Japan's longest running RPG series, having been around since the days of the original NES.
		Despite its long history, the closest thing we've ever gotten to a real Shin Megami Tensei game in the States is Atlus' spin-off Persona series, which is as excellent and original as it is overlooked.

		It’s quite an old series with origins on the NES with the moniker “Megami Tensei” but when it was transferred from the hands of Namco to Atlus and made the jump to the SNES, it became “Shin Megami Tensei”.
		Megami Tensei went for the gusto and to date, there are practically over 20 sub-series.
		To Megami Tensei neophytes: it’s probably better to play the first one first, simply becauseit’s the first one.

		As it's highly unlikely that without the audience that Atlus built with Disgaea, we probably never would have seen the company's latest RPG epic, Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne -- much less two MegaTen games released in the same year (Digital Devil Saga, which is a side story of sorts, is due out this November).
		Released as Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne Maniacs in Japan, this enhanced interpretation of Tensei III boasts quite a deal more than what was first presented.
		Speaking of the story, the plotline in Shin Megami Tensei is absolutely bizarre and one of the primary reasons to keep playing the game.

		In the first part of this epic RPG, we were introduced to the members of the Embryon Tribe, warriors in a world known as the Junkyard, who had to conquer all the other tribes in order to ascend to the heaven-like realm known as Nirvana.
		The odd twist is that Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga’s “heroes” were caught in a world where, against their will, they transform into demons who literally eat their enemies after defeating them.
		Shin Megami Tensei: Digitial Devil Saga 2 is that conclusion everyone’s been waiting on.

		The Shin Megami Tensei series got its start back in 1987 with a Japanese RPG called Digital Devil Monogatari: Megami Tensei, which could be translated as “Digital Devil Story: Goddess Reincarnation”.
		The Shin Megami Tensei franchise is very broad and encompasses many spin-offs that have only a tenuous connection to the main series.
		Although Maken X for the Dreamcast was not specifically part of the Shin Megami Tensei universe, it had much of the same look and feel.

		Highly regarded in Japan, the Megami Tensei series (sometimes referred to as MegaTen) is one of that country's most popular and long-running role-playing game (RPG) franchises.
		Despite spanning approximately seventeen years and over fifty titles, its religious imagery and moral questions are practically unknown on domestic shores with the exception of two overlooked PlayStation discs, Persona: Revelations and the amazing Persona 2: Eternal Punishment.
		A huge chunk of the country has been decimated by a religious cult trying to reshape reality, and the player is thrust into the role of Nocturne's protagonist; one of the few humans surviving the cataclysm.

	Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner PS2 Review @ Gaming Target
		And since this is a Megami Tensei spin-off, it would make sense to go along the vein of the other Megami Tensei games like Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, and Persona.
		You’re not going to see the game-over screen (which, like recent Megami Tensei game-over screens, is still pretty cool) all too often compared to the others but as a warning: save often.
		Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner — Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army is a bit of a mixed bag.
