First impressions: Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice

Honest first impression: "WTF!?!?"

The game looks like it could've been a PS2 title; low res, zoomed in sprite graphics and low frame animations.

Well, at least the isometric graphics can be "freely" turned around, in 90 degree increments.

And the music, it's a whole subject in itself. Cheery J-pop blares from your speakers (or headphones, in my case, as the kids are asleep) making you wonder at the Japanese mindset while melting your brain.

The gameplay delivers what it promises, though - of that there can be no question. It's an isometric, turn-based strategy game. True to the JRPG tradition there are a million variations of different weapons and armor that vary from each other by a small (random) fraction and price.

More later, if I don't trade or sell it off first (still tons of prettier "eye-candy" games to finish off).

Where from: Zavvi.co.uk, ~£18.
