I wasnt too impressed, so I never really looked into any other games in the series. For some reason, I gave them another chance when Persona 4 came out, and boy am I glad I did. Afterwards, I thought, hmm, I wonder if the other series are just as good? Then a new DS game came out, and I had read that it was mostly unrelated to DS1, so yeah OK, Ill try it out. What I experienced was.. pretty wild. I went from a game where the main cast was trying to stop a murderer in a small town to a game where the entire fucking universe was disappearing at a rapid rate, and this little region in Tokyo was the last Devil Survivor standing. I dont think thats where the name comes from, but I was going to use the word survivor anyway, so I couldnt resist. Anyway, the game checks off a lot of the same boxes as the Persona series: equipping crazy demons that you buy/recruit on human characters that have different abilities to best swiftly defeat other characters demons. Its a tried-and-true formula that never gets old, even after the 60 hours or so needed to beat the game. Then, depending on some achievement-like objectives you complete during your first playthrough, you can select bonuses to bring into a NG+, to make you even more OP, so you can take on optional superbosses along the way to get some extra story for yourself. I put in well over 100 hours to this game and I dont regret a second of it. In fact, after beating the game, it came out that they would be re-releasing the first Devil Survivor for 3DS with some bonus content. I bought that game on release day and played through the whole thing in a matter of weeks. While its story is, in my opinion, a bit more engaging, with more interesting characters, it was a bit hard for me to go from THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO DIE to some demons are taking over this one city oh nooo. So I prefer 2 over 1. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:949344046] in The Board ...
