User Rating: 10 | Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne PS2
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is quite possibly one of the most phenomenal games of all time. It's dark and twisted characters...It's magnificent, immersive plot...And it's beautifully entertaining gameplay...There are so many great things to be loved in Nocturne. Possibly the most fascinating part of this game is the epic demon-collecting system. There are almost limitless possibilities and so many monsters to find, there's rarely a dull moment. It's charmingly sinister characters and plot make it a game to be admired, indeed. Rather than the oh-so obvious story of the hero who saves the world, you are given a world in peril, and the freedom to take your stand as a champion destined to save it, or a mastermind of darkness hellbent on creating your own path of destruction. The gameplay is ever so challenging, but don't let that scare you from checking this game out. Though the battles are tough, they are simply amazing. Everyone should love the trials and challenges that lie within this one.
With it's unique storyline, interesting protagonists--as well as antagonists, great gameplay, and lovely demon fighting/collecting/mastering system, this is truly a game worth your time. Words fall short of the shear impact of this magnificent game.
