Exceptionally good rpg If you like jrpgs, and are not familiar with the SMT series, do yourself a favor and buy this rigth away, otherwise you migth find yourself bumping ur head against a wall in a few years after it is no longer available. You wondering why I say that? Well for starters, this game is not ur typical jrpg in which the hero is an effeminate boy out to prevent the world's destruction, in fact world's end is the very beggining of the game :D, and you have to find your reason, so that you can recreate the world in your image. Now, the story is not the only unique thing about this game... It has an atmosphere very hard to describe, that feels unsettling in a good way, thanks to the visual design by Kazuma Kaneko, and (for me) the best soundtrack yet from Shoji Meguro. The music here uses Metal style guitar riffs, or Organs, or a combination of both, you will find none of that hip-hop crap or j-pop numb inducing music found in Persona 3, or 4 (That's about the only thing I disliked from those games, even though the osts are also by S. Meguro).

A must have for SMT fans and RPG players While the Playstation 2 has a large library of RPG games, Nocturne has earned its place as one of the top RPGs. It has an interesting storyline (plot twist even at the beginning of the game), the fight system is awesome, the soundtrack is well composed and suits the game nicely, and the visuals are amazing. Most RPGs can be completely within days; Nocturne should take over a week or two to fully enjoy. Nocturne delivers an excellent service to Shin Megami Tensei and RPG players. I've gone through this game 100% and still find myself playing the game again. While it may seem long and somewhat difficult and unforgiving, the good definitely outweighs the bad in this game.
I give this game 4.5/5, but meh, round it off to 5 :P
