Disgaea, just not as we love it June 22, 2010

Disgaea Infinite is good fun if you're a diehard Disgaea fan. It offers the player a lot of classic Disgaea humour in a series of fully voiced scenes. It has a fair amount of content to collect; Art, Music, Character Sheets and a database of in-game references/material. The game has 14 endings, with 13 of those based on what actions you take in the game and one "secret" ending.
However, the game is INCREDIBLY short; I completed mine 100% in only a few hours. I'm very disappointed with the length of this game and it doesn't really have any replay value either, however I did enjoy it a lot. If you don't go for the 100% completion, the game will probably only occupy an hour or two. (If you're lucky)
The gameplay features a Prinny playing a detective role to prevent his loss of salary. That's right, no RPG here, just a very short visual novel. While this may sound pretty darn bleak, it's not all bad, I suppose. While cleaning Laharl's room, the Prinny finds a perculiar pocket watch, which allows him to return to certain points in the past to help him investigate the different characters and how their actions affect the story. The pocket watch also allows the Prinny to "Possess" characters in order to try and change the future. This is pretty much all there is in terms of gameplay. Possess someone and investigate; make them say alternate things to change where they go or what people do. While this might sound like you're in control, you don't really get much choice of what or when you can use these actions.
As I said, if you're a hardcore Disgaea fan, you should enjoy this and you should add it to your collection. If you're not, however, you should try out "Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness" first and if you love it, get this afterwards. If you didn't really love it or find it that impressive, you may not enjoy this much.
Overall this game is good for a hardcore fan, but maybe not so much for casual fans or those new to Disgaea.
 Entertaining as long as you know what you're getting June 9, 2010

This arrived yesterday and I haven't gotten a chance to play through all of it yet but I did manage to sink some time into. If you're expecting gameplay like the previous Disgaea games, you'll be disappointed. In terms of gameplay, this is closer to the Phoenix Wright games than the past Disgaea games, but that's fine by me.
You play a Prinny trying to solve the mystery of an assassination attempt on Laharl. You can possess characters and travel back and forth across the timeline to and see what happened prior to the assassination attempt. It's got the same humor as all the previous games which makes it an enjoyable ride. It's like playing the a Disgaea version of those old "choose your adventure" books.
It's hard to rate something like this though. The game at times has more in common with a short book than the previous games. Personally, I choose to give it a 5 star rating because I find it very entertaining for what it is. The characters from the first Disgaea were always my favorites and I always get a kick out the Prinnies. There is some repetition as you travel back and forth reliving the scenes over again. At the $20 price point, I still feel that I'm getting my money's worth.

Before even starting the game, after about 30 seconds, you are taken from the title screen and shown a little cutscene that gives the player a "recap" of the history of Disgaea. I use the quotes because after the completely random and innaccurate cutscene, some of the characters even appear andpoint out how stupid and wrong the recap you were just watching was. Man, this game already broke the 4th wall before I even got a chance to press "New Game."
As with most Visual Novels, you'll do a lot of reading and heavy descicion-making, but Disgaea Infinite adds the twists of time travel and even spiritual possession of characters to fully learn every detail of the random events that transpire. I've only had a few hours to play it, but just a few minutes into the game and fans will quickly notice that NIS has put as much time and effort into their characters, voice acting, story, and humor as their bigger titles.
I'd recommend this to anyone who likes VNs, those who wish to spend more time getting to know the characters of the Disgaea universe, and people who just like the funny and lighthearted storylines NIS is known for. For just $20, this game is a steal, and anyone who has even heard of Disgaea would be crazy to not pick it up.
On an unrelated note, this game actually reminds me of one of the many Disgaea light novels (produced a few years back) which had a similar protaganist(a different Prinny) and was also quite good.

Judging from the trailer and the title of the game.. I was expecting this to be a Startegy RPG, a cross-over between the original and the 3rd game, but no. This is a really lame un-funny "detective" game.
The choice for the Protagonist is also pretty lame as well. Prinny? Really?... REALLY? Prinny is one of the most annoying monsters in the series. Doesn't IT already have a spin-off series? We've seen enough of Prinny.
Worst game ever.
Games like this is the reason NI is having financial problems.. morons.
