Disgaea 7/10

Disgaea is fun(better than FFtactics IMO). But the story(5/10) is...no I like Laharl a lot, and Etna is cute, the prinnies are funny, but the rest of the cast is no good. The first part of the story is pretty interesting, but as Flonne and the Gordon group appeared, we get some very brainless humor, which is very sad, because if it weren't so, the game wouldn't suffer such a low score in the character+plot area.

Gameplay is solid, but I don't like how you can't turn off the animated moves and have to watch each and every special move the characters+enemies execute from start to end. Music portrays atmosphere wonderfully.

However, I have a major issue with this series is that I have to replay countless times(with or without special strategies to increase the EXP gotten) of previous maps/increase enemy levels and back for the final fight to be able to beat it. I thought it's pretty much forced upon me( a certain amount is expected, but...not so much). But let's just say that's my issue, and it may not be existent for many other gamers.

2(had a review on gfaqs) is better than 1 almost in terms of everything apart from the main character.
