Devil Summoner 2 is a solid, competent, well-made, and occasionally lazy sequel that fans of both the franchise and the genre will love, though it might occasionally annoy more casual fans. The story is fantastic, the presentation is solid, and the gameplay has been improved in many key regards. There's plenty to see and do, and plenty of reasons to come back for more as well. This makes the game worth playing through not just once, but several times, if you like what it does. Unfortunately, it carries over a lot of elements from Devil Summoner 1 that either could have stood to be freshened up or didn't need to be carried over at all.
Some of the changes it made won't appeal to everyone. Devil Summoner 2 really is worth playing, and probably is worth owning, but it doesn't really manage to be anything more than "good." While that's not at all a bad thing, it's kind of disappointing that it isn't more advanced and enhanced than it is.
The digital PS3 version of Mass Effect Trilogy has dropped to $4.49. Odin Sphere, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha versus King Abaddon, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga 2 and Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 are also on sale for $4.99 each.
$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?
The PlayStation 2 game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon is going to be released next week on the North American PSN as a PS2 classic
thank u Atlus for giving us all the games digitally. Scalpers online try to overcharge for the disc versions.
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."
