Although I am a huge fan of the Disgaea series and greatly enjoyed this game; I think if people are honest a little bit of a visual update would have been nice - you can make sprites look really good (take games like Demon Blade / Street fighter 2 HD remix / Odin Sphere).

So I hope when they eventually do Disgaea 4 they actually put some work into uping the textures and animations a little bit; otherwise though this is one of the best tactic rpg games out there.

This game is incredible. Despite the review given or "graphics", it just works. You don't need super duper awesome HD graphics to let you know you're having fun. The sprites are simply retained to mainstay the Disgaea formula and it works! I'm not a fan of the series, having only played the PSP version but this game is very good and I recommend every RPG lover who own a PS3 to purchase this game! For 50 bucks its worth it!

I love how they had the balls to stick to their style. Most series went ugly on their first conversions to 3D and there is something charming about sprites. It could not run on the PS2, people don't know much about how taxing 2D sprite graphics are on the hardware and Sony isn't know for making consoles with a lot of graphics/shared memory.

I jump for joy since the japanese version came out and can't wait for the day I buy a HD TV, a PS3 and this game, for hundreds of hours of fun and tricky random strategy and some of the funniest yet dramatic dialogues in any japanese game.

Having played am instantly in love. What's with all the complaints? The graphics work perfectly for the game - a lot crisper than ever before, and it REALLY wouldn't work with anything 3D. Vector graphics will be a step into the future, but the redesigned sprites keep the feeling of Disgaea just right for this incarnation. Anyone who says this can fit on the PS1/2 obviously doesn't understand games. This game is FAR too big to be stored on a DVD let alone a CD. The audio tracks alone must be huge. The Japanese voices are a lot less grinding on the ears (yes, I speak Japanese so can understand it - plus there's always subtitles for people who complain that "I can't understand it") although the American dub isn't TOO bad. Semi-newcomer and not put off at all. Loads to do, great laugh and amazing strategy required. Easily worth the $50.

And agreed with earlier statements - does this dude EVER know what he's talking about? Get out and play the games you're reviewing and talking about ^^;

Its kind of weird, but I learned the ENTIRE battle system off of the one on the PSP. It doesnt have the best instructions, but you can understand it easy enough.

Why do they keep saying "The addition of GeoBlocks"? Like they weren't in the previous games.

I can't spend 50 on it, even though the game is brilliant. November is bringing the heat when it comes to games = (

The sprites should have at least been vectorized if they wanted to maintain a "flat" look

The amount of depth is staggering. I would have appreciated new sprites, but am still enjoying the heck out of this game.

Disgaea 3 is for fans of the previous installments. If you weren't able to get into the genre before, this title won't change that.

On the other side, the game should not be judged because "newcomers" feel alienated..
New people can learn how the game works, however Disgaea 3 remains an excellent Strategy JRPG as it did in in last few years.

That's a fact that should be pointed out. It's a very good game that will give hours and hours of role playing. 7.5 is not a bad score, but the this title is worth money to spend on.

They are good games but why wasn't this a ps2 game! They lost a big audience in my opinion! I own a ps3 so I'm not bias but it just would make much more sense from the business side of things!

He makes some good points. The game would have probably received a 9 or higher if he were scoring it only for fans of the series, but factor in everyone else who may play this game and it loses a few points. Good review.

I'd like to play the first two before I play Absence of Justice, but I think I might have to skip right to number 3. This looks awesome.

I'll be honest, when I first played the series I was like "Sprites? Really?" But there's so much stuff in the games it doesn't matter. Disgaea FTW!

Aw man, sorry to hear you didn't like it Lark, I'm still going to get it regardless. To be honest, I don't understand where you're coming from by complaining about the graphics We've seen what we should have expected and played what we've known to exist both in previews and generally in the predecessors 1 and 2. Why the sudden negative shift?

Wow lots of stupid comments here! Looks like we found the heard of fanboys. Sony didn't make this game, for one thing, and it wouldn't look better on 360, because this is the way the dev team MADE THEIR OWN GAME.

Graphics aren't everything but some of the sprite animation looks choppy. But I'll still probably rent it.
