Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)

During the hunt for something new to play I came across this game. I had never even heard of the Persona games before but it looked good and I thought "Well what have I got to loose?". This game is unlike any RPG I have ever played before. Its a mix of normal RPGing (i.e. running around and fighting monsters) and a social simulation. The plot of the game is fairly simple, you must balance your social life (making friends through Social Links and ...
...running through the dungeons of another world trying to solve a murder mystery that has developed in your town and is linked with this "TV World". A simple yet compelling story. The graphics are not the best ever seen for the PS2. Cut scenes are presented in 2D anime animation. The main playable game is in 3D however it is reminiscent of early games for the console and not as sofisticated as later games. The environments you play through are fundamentally ...

Review of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)

...the Persona offshoot of the Shin Megami Tensei series and is similar to it's predecessor (Persona 3) abeit with some improvements. In this installment, you play as a high school student who gets involved in solving a serious of murders that occur in the town. The game is two distinct parts: the dungeon crawling and the daily routine. Balancing these two is the key to success in the game. The dungeon crawling is similar to that in Persona 3: attacking ...
...Although simple, it works extremely well and is good to play. Each member has a 'persona', a demon-like entity which gives them special abilities. The player character has the ability to change and fuse persona, which gives him the ability to change his skills and elemental alignments. One major change from P3 is the ability to control the other members of your party. The social aspect is unique to the Persona RPGs and is often compared to japanese ...

Review of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 (PS2)

Persona 4 has by far overstepped the boundaries of traditional role playing and ideals in the video game genre, the whole game surrounds itself around this idea that if you look at the television at midnight on a rainy day u will see your soulmate. But it only gets crazier from there.... The tv's are actually a portal to other worlds, and its all wrapped up in a huge murder mystery where u have to chase the killer into the TV to save the victems..... ...
...emotions you get from this game while playing through the storyline is unbelievable. I have never played a game that has touched my heart as much as this one, made me sad or angry, this is definitely one u guys should not pass up, probably the best rpg for ps2 hands down, rivaled only by FF12 or an equally engrossing game, so go get it and have a great time, its easily a 100 hour game. ...

Chie told Yosuke and Shouji Seta about urban legend that they can see a someone in the night when raining and called Midnight Channel and they agree to watch that channel. In trailer Shouji Seta was sucked into TV and at the school he told that he saw something and he was sucked into the TV and oddly they saw something same with him but they didn't believe if shoji was sucked up. Shortly ...
