X-Play: Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner 2 Review

Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon may not fit on a t-shirt, but the game packs in more content than most next-gen RPG's. While it may not convert any of the role-playing non-believers any time soon, this demon collecting game is everything a good sequel should be with more content, improved combat, and everything players loved about the first one.

I am ready to GO, Day 1, Atlus is like Godzilla on Monter Island, wreckin $h!t, every which way they turn.

I also can't wait for their PS3 project

Go you anti thesis to Square Enix Go!

McRad5498d ago

Atlus has really been outdoing themselves lately. Squenix has dropped the ball these past few years and Atlus has slowly but surely been picking it up. Personally I've always found their games more enjoyable than anything SE has produced (sans Xenogears and Vagrant Story), ESPECIALLY anything that's somehow tied to the Megaten universe.

But their quality in gameplay, customer loyalty, and wicked sweet killer preoder bonuses are top notch. My Devil Summoner 2 is preordered and I can't wait until next week.

I already have my copy pre-ordered, and am very stoked for this. Between this and inFAMOUS releasing close to one another, I'll be busy for quite a while.

And I have to agree, Atlus really has been putting in an even more significant effort to pick up. I am really interested to see if their next project really is an effort bringing the SMT to PS3. That would be majorly snazzy.

Can't wait to get my Raiho plushie :)

Better hope you have a backwards compatible PS3

?

These are sales for the digital versions of those games in fact I have a backwards compatible PlayStation 3 and I still opted to purchase the digital version of some of these games simply because they ran faster and the actual PlayStation 2 versions cost a fortune.

Ironically I'm actually currently playing Persona 4 right now on my PlayStation 3

RhymeNorReason2628d ago

Persona 4 on eBay is only $15... that's not a fortune. Though I did purchase this digitally to save a few $$$.

_-EDMIX-_2628d ago

@Rhyme- thats a good deal for that version. Its normally always $10 on PSN though.....

Mind you, I couldn't find it on Amazon for that price years ago when I was looking for it lol.

I found it on PSN simply by googling and finding out Atlus put a lot of their games on PSN and I ended up getting it on sale for like 5 bucks.

Tross2628d ago (Edited 2628d ago )

$4.50 for the Mass Effect Trilogy?! I would jump on that if I didn't already have the game. I also own all of these Atlus titles physically, and I think I did get the digital version of Persona 4 just to support the digital release/have it on my PS3, even though I think my PS2 is still the most authentic way to play it. Granted, Golden is the definitive version IMHO with maybe one minor point in favour of the original. Perhaps I should open up a Tracy Rooney vs. Erin Fitzgerald discussion right here for my own amusement, but derailing the Internet can't be that easy, can it?

Top Five Megami Tensei Games

91.8 The Fan: "Ah, it’s that wonderful time of the year again. The weather is crisp yet not too cold, there’s a gallon of apple cider in the fridge, and Halloween is just around the corner. And what better way to celebrate Halloween than to take a moment and countdown one of the best demon centric game series in recent memory: Megami Tensei. This is quite possibly one of my favorite game series, to the point where I actually buy all of their games on principal. I know that they’re going to be good enough to justify the purchase, and even after several years they have yet to let me down. Whether it be the fun high school dynamic of the Persona games or the intense action of the Devil Summoner titles, there is just something about the way these games combine elements of demonic horror with their surroundings that appeals to me."
