    The aspect of contacting and interacting with demons was also an element that I fully embraced. It broke the monotony of simply killing and killing in order to gain experience points.

    I cannot stress how much I love Persona 2 Eternal Punishment and it's a shame considering how much newer Persona fans overlook it.

    - The best story in the franchise
    - Gameplay that seems "Dated" but actually is still extremely good but grindy
    - Just amazing soundtrack altogether
    - Second part of the duology with characters appearing from past games
    - Best character cast available in the Persona franchise.

    Now I will say the only thing really bad about the game was some the dungeons. Specifically speaking areas with pitfalls. Those are the worst and those dungeons tend to become frustrating but everything else is just perfect.    … Full Review »

    While the soundtrack is great, this game suffers due to its age. The art, gameplay, and menus are so outdated this game is nearly unplayable post 2000.

    The battle system is much slower and more complex than the modern personas and definitely will become annoying if it doesn’t come to you naturally. The strongest parts of the game are the the story. The characters are a step up from the previous game and the story has aged well outside of Hitler being involved. However, without social links or confidants, you only get to know the characters so well.

    I’d say this version of the game is stronger than the first half based on Maya being a much better and more developed character than Tasuya as well as actually concluding the game.

    Buy, rent, watch an LP, or skip? LP. Getting the game legally is harder to do each year and while the gameplay may not be worth it, the storyline and characters are still enjoyable.    … Full Review »
