Editorial Review: Product Description: Disgaea3 is a sequel to Disgaea, a hardcore, turn-based, strategy RPG popular on the PlayStation2 and PlayStation Portable. In Disgaea, character units have a limit to their movement and attack ranges, based on level and weapons equipped. There are other special game factors that let you take advantage of the 3D battle map, many of which are unique to Disgaea. One of the many new features is the addition of a Geo Block, which creates a 3 dimensional battle instead of the traditional 2D. Amazon.com: The third American release in the Disgaea series by Japanese game developer and publisher Nippon Ishi, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice marks the arrival of this acclaimed and beloved strategic RPG franchise into the Next-Gen gaming era. A PlayStation 3 exclusive, Absence of Justice features high-definition graphics, including beautiful high-res 2-D sprite character art and stunning spell effects. And although it is the third in a series of games, its story and gameplay stand on their own, allowing players both new to and experienced with the humor, zany characters, thrilling action, and unmatched excitement of the Disgaea universe to jump right into the battle.
Set in and around the `Nether Institute, Evil Academy,' the demon version of the preppiest of prep schools, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice follows the puzzling decision of Mao, son of the Overlord of the Netherworld, who after reading a manga comic book decides to forsake his proper demonic upbringing, become a hero and attempt to overthrow his father. But in the backwards world of demon scholastics where good is bad and bad is good, Mao is a top honor student. He knows all about ditching school, being totally unhelpful and quickly resorting to violence, but nothing of the selfless nobility and patience of heroes. Heroes are for delinquents, as the number one delinquent of the Nether Institute, Raspberyl and her friends try to tell him. But Mao's mind is made up. It's a hero he will be. Flow of Gameplay: Events ⇒ Base ⇒ Battle ⇒ Repeat Events: Players advance through the game as events unfold. These events can occur during the story, at your base, or before/after battles. You will be able to witness the fun and interesting interactions through a mixture of sprite animation and exciting character battles. Base: Mao's school, the Nether Institute, Evil Academy is the base point of the game. Players will be able to prepare for upcoming battles here by purchasing new weapons and items, customizing characters and/or restoring health. Battle: You will be fighting against enemies in battle scenes with a quarter view, tactical simulations. The goal is to defeat all of the enemies before all of your team members die. Battles utilize a turn-based system, where all of your team members will have their turn to attack before enemies begin theirs. Character Customization: The Evility System Character customization is crucial in all role-playing games. Absence of Justice allows for maximum character customization through its "Evility System." There are two different categories of evilities: evility that is already set for each character depending upon the jobs of each and evility that players can customize. Customizable evilities include: evility to acquire the special skills for certain weapons, evility to up character status under certain requirements, evility to up the amount of experience points earned, evility to enable special skills and functions, etc. This variety is powerful and important. You may have only one kind of evility that supports a character's status, but you may have multiple evilities for skills. Use this system to create and customize your characters and ideally group multiple evilities in one to conduct battles more efficiently. The Disgaea 3 Battle System Combat in Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice consists of a combination of the franchises familiar standard system of attacks, along with a whole new array of moves debuting with the game. This wide range of possibilities allows players to pick and choose tactics that suit the immediate conflict before them or to quest for overall success in the game, and maximum fun by attemping to master all. Attacks and skills include:

 Rating:  - Intelligently DesignedThis game takes a lot of the boring grinding out and replaces it with new, fun concepts. Academy world is a blast, as is the new dark world and Land of Carnage. The classroom system and clubs make leveling up weaker characters a snap and helps prevent the age old "only one powerful character" problem by allowing you to level up a team of five+ at a similar pace. The dialog is somewhere between the quality of Disgaea 1 and Disgaea 2, which is a good thing. Overall, on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd rate ... Read More Rating: - better than the first 2adds more features making it more complex and story line is more enjoyable like the first one. Rating:  - Camera is really painfulI traded in after playing only a few levels. I guess if you are dedicated, you can get used to camera. It gets really painful to see where you are on some of the more complex boards. however, I really liked the concept. Its sorta like playing chess. I just wish they had made camera more accessible. Rating: - Underappreciated Game Bought this game a few days ago. So far it has been a great experience. Good strategy, game play, storyline, etc. Haven't been able to put it down. Highly recommend this game. Rating: - Disgaea 3 is good.Disgaea 3 takes all of the mechanics from previous Disgaea games and perfects them. It is by far the most well thought out and most fun to play of the whole series. The combat is extremely deep and challenging, and the characters are interesting and fun to watch. Disgaea 3 takes everything learned in making Disgaea 1 and 2 and uses that knowledge to create the best game in the series. |
