Disgaea is a very good game. But, it is obnoxiously repetetive. You do the exact same thing over and over, but it's very addicting. I would suggest getting this game to people that won't mind spending hours on end leveling up their characters doing the same thing for weeks and weeks. If you don't have patience, don't bother. This wouldn't be the game for you. :]
Must buy.

The storyline is great, the gameplay is turn-based on an x,y coordinate plane, and the special effects are visually pleasing.
The music is alright, but gets repettative at times. For a strategy game, there's always something to do. The characters are involving and the storyline keeps you playing. The vast ammount of choices allows for a custom adventure.
I highly recommend this game.
Great Fun.

This game is a lot of fun. It combines thinking elements of tactical strategy with pure action / adventure. It really is a joy to play, and it'll keep you busy for hours and hours due to the fact that it's got a bunch of awesome side quests. Buy this game, because I know you'll love it, and you'll know too.
Unique RPG Awesome-ness.

Disgaea: Hour of Darkness... mmmm.
Have you ever wanted to take your RPG guys passed Lv.99 cap? This game takes hardcore players to their limits! Getting guys to level 9999 and then making it possible to re-do their levels and keep skills and stats just makes this game a powerleveling free for all!
Storyline is great, got a nice anime feel to it, personally I turn the JPS voice acting on. Lots of funny parts, and pretty laid back feel to it all. Great game overall, wouldn't want a RPG gamer without it!

I had played this game in the past so I knew what I was getting and it was well worth the cost as this is one of the greatest RPGs in my opinion.
Awsome RPG

I enjoy the game play. The in-game music can get a little repetitive. The character personalities are interesting and the character by-play is enjoyable. The storyline is very well written and draws you in. The only parts that keep me from giving it a five out of five are the execution of the item world and the sheer amount of time it takes to power-up the characters you choose to use. However, the story and the fact that it has a new game-plus feature means you really only have to power-up once. This is the first game, to my knowledge, to use anything even similar to the item world and hopefully its sequels/spin-offs execute it better. All in all a very good game.
Cool!

Disgaea manages to take the standard "tactics" format and improve to perfection what was already quite breathtaking. Being a big fan of Final Fantasy Tactics, I picked this up concerned that I might not be able to adapt well to Disgaea's new format. I was pleasantly surprised. The battle format is extremely similar to FFT and is picked up immediately by any fan of the genre. In places where it is dissimilar to FFT, Disgaea is always far more simple and elegant.
For example: You move all your units in one turn, then the enemy moves. It's that simple. No waiting for that one character with low Speed to finally get a turn, no hoping against hope that your healer might get a chance to move some day. Even better: In your turn, you may move as many or as few of your units as you want. No more having to tediously click "Defend" for all the unused mages and clerics while cycling through an easy battle. And most elegant of all, your orders can be cancelled and reissued at any time prior to the final "Execute" command at the end of the turn - no more accidental orders screwing up your game OR your melee combos.
If the battle system is superb in its elegance and simplicity, the game also provides plenty of complication for those who desire it in the form of the Item Dungeon. EVERY item in the game can be "entered" magically and all the enemies within can be defeated in a standard randomized near-endless dungeon. I don't play with the Item Dungeon much, but hey it's there for those who want it - and it's not required to finish the game. Perfect.
A lot has been said about the story. It's witty, it's fresh, it's different. The voice actors are skilled and the animation is beautiful. I won't spoil any more than that, but I WILL say that the story is deep but easy to grasp - another improvement over my beloved FFT. Pick up a copy of this today - Amazon is almost the only place to find it, outside of the occassional blessed GameStop or Half-Price Books.
Awesome title for strategy gamers and anime/manga fans!

Disgaea what can I say? Well it is a great game with a variety of characters to choose and little by little raise his/her stats to achieve ultimate control. What I like is the characters design along with the original Japanese audio with the option of subtitles something very rare in today's games, but important for Japanese games' followers like me. The game's story is decent and the combination of combos and skills the characters use during a battle certainly makes you become more and more interested in exploring other areas as well. I spent hours and hours playing this game and never get tired of it. Think you have what it takes to get to the lowest level on a very rare item and defeat the boss? You are in for a big surprise. I certainly recommend this game given that it is very fun to play and the rarity of its kind due that is not longer in stores will make you feel you have a jewel in your hands and it really is.
