Persona for PS - Persona PlayStation - Persona PS Game This is the kind of game they would force you to play in the underworld. Persona 3 is an occult-themed RPG set in a Japanese high school. IMPORT: Persona 2: Innocent Sin is a rare gem in today's RPG market - despite the popularization of the genre, it's stayed true to its offbeat roots to deliver a story, setting, and style unlike anything you're likely to have played before. www.gamespot.com /ps/rpg/persona/index.html   (262 words)

Persona 2 Game Review -- PS1 Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, the sequel to Persona is an intriguing RPG that bucks the trends and does away with the cliches of many other RPGs. Playing Persona 2 is a unique experience in which you a transported to the dark, occult world of Persona, a world with a surreal atmosphere that is sure to keep RPG gamers guessing. Persona 2 forgoes the dragons and swordplay of most Square and Enix RPGs for a storyline with a backdrop in the modern world that becomes more twisted and deep as the story goes along. www.homestead.com /rhinoxsis/GamesRpersona2.html   (635 words)

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment - GameCritics.com The intricacies of combat and the Persona system will be extremely frustrating and indecipherable for most children, and the technical aspects of the game are more suited to older and experienced gamers. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is definitely an RPG in every sense of the word, but changes the formula enough to become a breath of fresh air instead of a double dose of valium. Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is an installment in the Japanese-only Megami Tensei series, and its pretty evident that there is a lot of history behind the game. www.gamecritics.com /review/persona2/main.php   (2159 words)

Persona/Series - Video Game Guides   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) It is ambiguous as to how much a Persona is supposed to be an aspect of the host and how much it exists as its own entity, as they are known to occaisionally take over their host in instances of mortal danger or the encounter of a mythological enemy. The games are noted for their complicated and heavily psychological storylines which draw from influences ranging from the works of psychologist Carl Jung to World War II conspiracy theory. Like most games from the Shin Megami Tensei franchise, Persona games are dungeon crawlers, with many large complicated dungeons the player must complete throughout the game. www.vgguides.com /Persona   (482 words)

Review of the game Persona I strongly advise playing "Persona" until the end (at least until the "bad" ending), in order to appreciate and to understand its story, which is unfortunately a bit too simple and traditional up to the point where it takes a new direction. The localization really changed the game: the setting was made North American instead of Japanese, names of the characters were changed, etc. Personally, I have nothing against the game world "immigrating" to United States, as it bears no importance whatsoever to the game's story and just brings it closer to common American players. The English version of "Persona" must be the most daring localization work in the history of games: by the magic power of translation, the actual setting of the game was changed, and a modern Japanese metropolis became a quiet provincial American town. www.mobygames.com /game/playstation/persona/reviews/reviewerId,6226   (2285 words)

PLAYSTATION VIDEO GAME REVIEWS...Persona 2: Eternal Punishment ... While the game certainly stands on its own, there are a few things that happen that make more sense if you know what happened in the first game. The controls in the game are simple and intuitive, and the inclusion of an automap is a major boon, especially in some of the more confusing "dungeons". The game also throws a few too many overpowered baddies at you from the get go, and never relents -- you almost never get a chance to keep up with the Joneses, so to speak, and it can be frustrating. www.gamevortex.com /rp_persona2.html   (1355 words)

Persona 2 review for the PS Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is different than everything you're used to in an RPG. 'Personas' are essentially the magicks of this game. Persona 2 is decidedly different from what you are used to in an RPG. www.gamerevolution.com /review/sony/persona_2   (957 words)

Video Game Talk The Street series of games had it's moment in the sun when NBA Street was released, thanks to the fun involved in over exaggerated dunks and huge tricks that made your rivals spin in disbelief. Games here take anywhere from 1 to 5 minutes to complete; and if you're a good player expect a lot of short matches. Thankfully since the game is super dependent on the tricks the animations for each trick is very smooth here in FIFA Street 2. www.videogametalk.com /review.php?ID=370   (1150 words)

Persona 3 :: Games :: Digital Devil Database Persona 3, moreso than previous entries in the series, attempts to mimic a general school year for a student. In a column on the Persona 3 website, the creators briefly discuss the idea that they wanted a realistic idea of what it is like to be a kid in school and as such decided that it was important to focus on these daily activities and characters beyond just fighting. Personas are now summoned in battle utilizing a device that is eerily similar to a hand gun. www.digitaldevildb.com /games/persona3   (2840 words)

GameSpy.com - Gaming's Homepage The game's mix of occultism, a real-world setting (in a genre then entirely dominated by medieval fantasy yarns, this was tantamount to box office poison), and a slightly confused localization contributed to its commercial failure even though it was an underground success amongst some more discerning gamers. The original Persona is a complex, difficult, and lengthy game; its story is fresh, unusual, and even deeply emotional once you get through the too-hip trappings of some of its initial dialogue sequences. This game was released in the U.S. and did only about half as well as its predecessor, despite featuring more accessible gameplay, highly refined graphics, and coming after the RPG genre broke through into the West. archive.gamespy.com /articles/september03/25underrated/index12.shtml   (630 words)

Persona (video game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Released in year 1996, it was regarded as different than most of the other role-playing games because of the settings in the game - distancing from the usual fantasy and/or medieval, to a modern, realistic era. The first Persona game, known in Japan as Megami Ibunroku Persona: Be Your True Mind, focused on the main character and his friends at St. Hermelin High School in the city of Lunarvale. She originally believed that her Persona was actually a guardian angel, before the others told her the whole story. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Persona_(video_game)   (2104 words)

Siliconera » Persona 3 Taking a note from the Grandia games, the random battles have been done away with, and all enemies are visible on the screen. Personas can be combined and evolved by visiting a place called the Velvet Room, a mainstay of the series. Persona 3 requires a different mindset than your typical JRPG, since it’s up to you to forge relationships, to balance out your school life, and decide when to explore the tower. www.siliconera.com /2006/08/07/persona-3   (1703 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Persona 2 Persona 2 is the sequel to the first Persona title for the Sony PlayStation.

Persona - Retroview With a firm idea of a darker, more modern video game Revelations: Persona uses this idea most liberally and as Martha would say, "It's a good thing." When you encounter your first battles you are given many menu choices, all laid out before you easily and straight to the point. If you choose Self-Service in making your Persona, that is. With a multitude of symbols, it could be a problem for a novice gamer which is why Atlus was kind enough to put in a Full-Service screen which gives you just the Persona you can make. After talking to her for a few minutes, Mary is whisked away to the emergency room after feeling immense pain and the hospital begins to shake violently, and the story truly begins to take shape at this moment. www.rpgamer.com /games/megten/persona/reviews/personastrev1.html   (1485 words)

Video Game Journalism Demystified Feature on GamePro.com Video game journalists aren't as responsible as traditional media. Conventional wisdom suggests that most gaming journalists are uninspired, inconsistent, overly sensationalistic, or even fail to fact check before running a story. A large criticism of everyday game journalism is that many times we just echo what a game company tells us to when previewing a new game. www.gamepro.com /gamepro/international/games/features/117449.shtml   (711 words)

HonestGamers: Persona (PlayStation) Video Game Review Hackers armed with gamesharks routinely break into the game’s code to unearth the half-translated version of this quest buried deep within the disc’s data, but risking this ghost of a level is almost certain to end in a system crash long before you can battle through the shockingly disturbing journey and reach the sobering conclusion. We're fortunate that these aspects were strong enough to survive their attempted abortions, because, even if it takes a little more work to recognise than it should, this game deserves to be recognised for what it is. Persona is a registered trademark of its copyright holder. www.honestgamers.com /systems/content.php?review_id=6144&platform=PlayStation&abr=PSX&gametitle=Persona   (1179 words)

[No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Yet if the developers were aiming to create a quality boxing game with the Rocky license, then they've met their goal. If left unchecked, they won't hesitate to unleash a very thorough beating to your video game persona, and the faster boxers in particular are too fast for heavy punches. Arenas sport a variety of locale, including a mix of areas both from the film and made for the game, and all are detailed enough to be on par with most fighting games. www.gamingredients.com /games/ps2/rocky/review.php   (960 words)

Game within a game... 200% Abstraction? - GameDev.Net Discussion Forums The video games within that environment would be pretty much the opposite.

This post was just related to mixing in the video game simulations as part of that system. www.gamedev.net /community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=420333   (1645 words)
