More of the same... and we love it.
Whenever you see a Nippon Ichi game, the first two words that probably pop in your head (assuming you're familiar with their games, naturally) are "ludicrous levels of damage" and "humor". With Disgaea 3 it's no different. Disgaea 2 had been sadly lacking in the last department - at best it made me chuckle a couple of times. But it just didn't have the flair that made Disgaea fun and famous in the first place.

In Disgaea 3 they've made amends for that little mistake. The game breaks the fourth wall fairly often, with jokes such as "demons are lazy so instead of levelling up skills everything is bought with mana now" (referring to the changes of the Weapon Mastery system). Speaking of changes, the Weapon Mastery system is gone; to acquire new skills, now you must create new, higher-tier characters so they can learn other abilities. The Dark Assembly remains, though now it's called Homeroom (the entire game is high-school flavored), but the basic principles of it remain the same - bribe your way through, toss demons around or beat the everliving snot out of them to get things done. Changes to individual characters such as increasing movement range or throwing ability are no longer resolved via Dark Assembly; rather, you must enter that character's Class World and pay for the upgrades with mana - which you can acquire during the journey itself.

Gathering specialists for your items has also become somewhat easier due to the new club system. For those of you familiar with Soul Nomad, you can now assemble a classroom, assigning seats and clubs to each character - doing so enables several benefits, including but not limited to allowing a character to gain a portion of experience or mana from another character.

The graphics remain as beautiful as ever, and the attacks remain as ludicrously overpowered as ever. The game is all-around fun, despite the initial learning curve.

There is no multiplayer, which might disappoint some, but then again no SRPG has ever been built so it could be played that way.

For all of you familiar with Nippon Ichi work, it's more of the same, and the same is awesome. (Yes, there are endgame cameos, though some of them are DLCs).

Greatest Game!!
The best game for PS3!! Great story, great characters, great gameplay!! If you enjoy playing SRPG this is a must buy!

For Disgaea Fans
All of Disgaea games are good or great. This game also a good game to play. the weak points in graphic, it's not like for PS3 or HD graphic, it's just like PS2 graphic.

More Disgaea Goodness
A lot of fun! If you liked the first two Disgaea games, then you'll like this one too! If you didn't like them, well, you're probably not going to like this one either. Very similar to the first two Disgaea's. Yes, the characters are still sprites, but if you're someone who thinks you have to have super-amazing high-def graphics for it to be a good game, then this isn't for you. Excellent gameplay, character designs, music, fun story and characters, all make for a great game!

A Must Buy!
With its new gameplay and superb funny storyline, not to mention unique level approaches to make the game entertaining, Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice is definitely worth the time for the series fans or new to the series, for even after you finish the game, you still have many hours worth your while to do.
