System: Playstation 2
Genre: Strategy RPG
The gameplay in Disgaea is good but tough going, and it requires a lot of work to make progress, but it's totally worth it for the characters and the plot. There are tons of silly laugh out loud moments making it feel more like watching a cartoon sometimes. Sweet, innocent angel Flonne is the perfect foil for evil demons like Laharl and Etna and their interactions are always hilarious, as is Captain Gordon the inept Defender of Earth and his crew. Not only is it funny but when it gets serious it can be heart-breaking too. No matter what ending you get you're in for a shock and the Red Moon chapter is one of the most haunting moments I've ever seen in a game with a beautiful song to go with it.
