This is one of the best rpgs available for the ps2. The plot is engaging the characters are memorable and the difficulty is rewarding but not irritating. It is a nice change from fantasy themed rpgs, hopefully the Megaten series will see continued releases stateside.

Great buy

This is actually a lot better than I thought it was going to be. When I heard school simulator with random dungeons, I thought it would get repetitive. But it's been a really enjoyable experience so far. Plus you get a neat picture book. Really solid PS2 title to pick up if you're into RPG's.

Persona 3: Summarized for Gaming Addicts

The Dark Hour -- a hidden hour between one day and the next, where normal people rest within their coffins, and the disfigured tower Tartarus stands high above the city. You, a new transfer student, awaken to your power -- Persona -- and fight along the members of SEES to drive off the entities known as Shadows, and uncover the secrets behind the Dark Hour.

Played out in a simulation anime RPG style, Persona 3 is packed with a colorful cast, a wide variety of weapons and abilities, randomized dungeon adventuring, and a storyline that keeps you glued to your controller. With as many as 100 hours of gameplay, and even a new game + feature, Persona 3 is a real gem to add to any RPG gamer's library.

One of the best RPG's I've ever played.

I think the character development is very cool, the different type of gameplay sets the game apart from other games, the cutscenes add to the game not subtract from it, and the fighting is just what you've come to expect from Shin Meg games. By the end of the story you just love the characters, and that happens to very few games for me.

Pretty big surprise

I rented this game not knowing if i was really going to get into this game. I ended up really liking it and one of the better games to come out in a while.

I'm not going to give out the plot but i'll gladly tell you what i thought.

Plot/ storyline: Group of teenagers fighting monsters while going to school? Maybe not all that original but it's presented in a nice way.

Music: This is what really made get into the game, nice catchy techno music with vocals. My favorite would be when the moon's reaching out stars. Great vocal techno track and im sure others might like it.

Characters: While the protagonist is the typical you choose what his personality is like blah blah blah, in this day and age i think that just doesn't cut it. The others are pretty unique( Junpei: the lovable goofball, Yukari: Bit of a bratty but caring girl,Mitsuru: She's like the big sister of the team, Akihiko: At first he seems rather gruff but he's a nice man who's fighting to correct his mistakes of his past.

Dungeons: Oh man, now this disappointed me. You fight in only one place practically and the floors get old real fast. It seemed like a chore to come here and level up for the big boss since it was so bland.

Time: This game runs on a time kind of thing,early morning, afternoon, evening etc. I thought it was pretty cool.

Combat: Well....some of the fights can be rather hard, even if you do level up and upgrade your weapons. You also fight with demon like things called well...personas. While thats also pretty cool i had a hard time trying to find a decent one in terms of stats.

Making friends: Yes since your in high school you have the chance to join clubs( the Kendo team, the music club, Student council etc) doing this will also give you the chance to meet with and become freinds with, like real life on some days you can hang out with them after school or(if you make some female friends) you might even get into a relationship with one of them. If was simple and was fun and some of the friends you get to know have some problems, this of course builds character development. Some of these people you kind of feel sorry for and hope for the best. While some needs some good life advice.

Game time: I believe i only have 4 full moons to go until i complete the game. It still seemed short to me though and your only limited to the city, the one dungeon and thats about it.

Overall: Still a great game to keep you busy with for a few weeks( months if your a busy person who doesn't have time to sit down and play this all day) greatly reccomended.

A great JRPG

This is a great game and if you are new to the Shin Megami Tensei persona line of games fear not. This game can be played with out playing the others and does not follow their story line.

A little disappointing, there is light at the end of the tunnel however!

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3

I have to say that I have mixed feelings about this game. While I am a big fan of the MegaTen series, this game did come up a little short in some aspects. While I won't go into details that could be construed as spoilers, I will say that there are some elements in this game that are 'recycled' from some of the other MegaTen games, namely Nocturne. The Persona creation system in the game, however, more than made up for what was lacking with originality of some of the content. I can say though, that by the game's completion, you will be very satisfied with the outcome.

Hours of fun!!!

This game was a blast. Great story line, creative interactions with charecter and charecter developement. And the sound track was a huge bonus.
