Disgaea: Hour of Darkness

Although I've only gotten one ending. I suppose it's enough to write a review on.

Graphics - 8/10 (I don't really like using the grading system <_<)
Your basic sprite graphics in a game. Detailed for the main characters in the game, but when it comes to the created characters, they just change up the color, but keep the design, which does get boring after a while. Still nice how they animate the characters during the dialouge scenes.

Controls - 7/10
Controls are pretty basic when it comes to tactic games. Moving people around the board according to squares... That kind of thing. If you wanna toss camera angle in here, it leaves something to be desired... Sometimes you'll catch a glimpse of an enemy and the best view you could probably get on it's head.

Story - 9/10
With multiple endings, you can't go wrong. Especially when the story is pretty good to begin with. Tosses in some Japanese humor that is actually quite funny at times. Kept me entertained.

Music - 8/10
It's something that you might not generally pay attention to, but it's quite good. Changes up depending on the stage you're in and fits the Netherworld quite well, if I do say so myself.

Gameplay - 9/10
Balance in this game is completely burned in hell in this game. For Disgaea, it's a good thing. You can basically have overleveled characters and it wouldn't seem wrong at any extent. Including the fact that these monsters can get incredibly cheap on you too. But the whole point of the game is defying the odds, so you have to find a way around it.

Replayability - 9/10
If you love collecting every single item in the game and you LOVE maxing out your characters, this is the game for you. With lots of items to master and your max level being 9999, you can't go wrong at all.

Value - 9/10
It really depends on your interests in Tactic style RPGs. If you didn't like Final Fantasy Tactics, i'd reccomend to stay away from this one, because this one might not be any different. If you do like them, then hell, when you have an opportunity, get this game. You will love it.

Overall (Average) - 8.4/10
This is probably one of my favorite tactics games. I wasn't particularly interested in playing Final Fantasy Tactics either, but this game got it sparked up again. It did cost a really pretty penny just to get this game also ($44.99 to be exact. >_<), but with it's humorous dialogue, compelling storyline, and balance completely thrown out the window, it will keep you busy for about 40+ hours.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
