Game Podunk Review - Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice - Where Ditching Class Makes You an Honor Student

October 13, 2009 in Reviews comments 9

Game Podunk's Liztress takes a close look at NIS's Strategy RPG, Disgaea 3. How does it live up to past franchise staples, and is it worth the investment, or does it only cater to diehard Disgaea fans? Read the full review to find out.

Do I think that this game's leading trio beats Disgaea: Hour of Darkness's or Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories's leading trios? Yes and no. While I find it hard to believe that anyone could give Laharl or Adell a run for their money as great main characters, I do think that Mao has the potential to. And the most of the rest of the cast are memorable but there are a few that could have shined a little more. The story is wacky and you do get a few good twists and fourth wall breakage so if you want something different storywise, this will be worth the 50+ hours you'll put in.

      Lots and LOTS of time to get back in. But Absence of Justice is detached from the others in terms of storyline, though if you remember fan favorite Etna, she makes a cameo in the post-game.

    I love these games, though I do hope for the eventual "4" they make use of the PS3's power. I can live with the sprites, but make them higher res and improve camera control/views.

    I must say though, of the three games so far, Absence of Justice was my favorite storyline. The lines from the "chef" instructor deliver mucho laughs.

      100% Agreed. Some high res sprites like BlazBlue's, or at least something similar would be nice.

    I have yet to play any of these, but recently picked up the PSP version of 1 the other day when NIS was having that PSN sale, so I'm going to try that out soon.

    A bit late, but this is a good game anyways.

    I found Disgaea 3 to have the best story as well.
