SMT Nocturne
A great game, awesome storyline, great characters and amazing visiual style. Mix that with a great soundtrack and you got SMT Nocturne. And I seriously suggest you to buy this if you are an RPG Fan of any kind. Just go get it now before its sold out!

The Perfect RPG
This game is still considered to be the top JRPG since it was released in 2004 and for good reasons: featuring most creative atmospheric look in any RPG to date, an excellent music score that is still to be surpassed by any other game and of course the most revolutionary battle system seen in any RPG. The game's story is surprisingly engaging considering the lack of long cut scenes and long conversations between characters and the game features multiple endings. There is also an optional dungeon with multiple optional bosses, and if you need a challenge there is a hard difficulty.

Amazing Game!!!
Excellent game. If you are rpg hard core you most have it, the graphics are great the music wonderfull. The history is amazing!!!.

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
