    Are you ready for the midnight channel?

    Persona 4 of the Shin Magami Tensei series is one of the best game I have ever played and defiantly the best this year, the game play, story, visuals and sound all mix together to make a great play experience that is worth pulling out your old Playstation 2 for.

    The game play is a mix of traditional RPG game play with a social simulator. The RPG is your typical Japanese RPG turn based game ,it nothing to special but if you’re a fan of this style of game you will enjoy the few added things like the Pokémon like persona collecting and the ability to exploit there weakness which is good fun. The social simulator part is a great break from dungeon crawling giving you incentive to here out everyone’s story with prizes like new personas and items, all the character are very entertaining so you will even be looking forward to the next time you get to hang with your friends.

    The visuals are really good despite the handicap of being on the Playstation 2 because of its unique style which large amounts of anime influents exploring Inaba is never to dull but some personas are little rough looking and could of used some more time spent on them  .

    Sounds is pretty good in persona 4 the voice acting is fantastic making it a joy to listen to the conversations of  the character in this game but there is and issue with the music in the game being there is to little of it and sometime gets annoying listen to the same song for 70 hours.

    Persona has a few flaws but don’t worry they are overpowered by everything else tenfold a must play game, its also very cheap fantastic recession gaming and will have to say best RPG of the year must buy for RPG lovers .

It wasn't completely obscure per se, but you more likely than not were an RPG aficionado if you knew of it. But then 2007 came and the game's number three installment in all its head-shooting infamy placed the spotlight on the series on an international level for the first time. The game, despite its flaws, was able to live up to such a role and be forever ingrained in the PS2's history. N...

      Atlus welcomes you to the Midnight Channel. My Darkzero review 0

      When it comes to the Playstation 2, there hasn't being a company right now as loyal as Atlus. Most other companies have abandoned the Playstation 2 to put their games on the main systems that are on sale at the moment. Atlus on the other hand are still releasing console exclusive quirky Japanese games on the very successful Playstation 2. For that we have to give a big thanks to Atlus. I'm sure a lot of Japanese RPG fans are extremely happy for Atlus to still be sticking to the system, which in ...
