Fans of the original will need little convincing, but for the rest of you, trust me when I say this game's well worth your time. [Aug 2006, p.57]

Nippon Ichi's games are good but Disgaea is undeniably the best. While some might begrudge the ostensible dumbing down with the return to grids and more tightly controlled play (there's no chucking enemies off the maps into oblivion or picking up map furniture as impromptu weaponry here) in reality this makes the game more accessible, more easily understood and ultimately more fun.

Its difficulty and sometimes confusing nature continues to keep the game from being appropriate for newcomers to the genre itself, but memorable characters and dialog, deceptively deep mechanics, and a promise of future sequels make this series, the flagship of Nippon Ichi and NIS America, one of the crowning achievements of this console generation.

I love dark hero days being on of my favorite disgaea games it feels retro yet it's so complex like newer disgaea games there's so much to do in it too recommend to all rpg lovers out there

One of the best RPG I played in a while.
If you like a challenging and rewarding game then Disgaea 2 is for you. From the sprites to the characters and the story, everything it's enjoyable and It just shows how much care and toght the team put behind this game. It's my favorite Disgaea game and arguably one of the best, but you can't go wrong with Disgaea no matter how hard you try to.
I hardly recommend this game if you like RPGs or just looking for a game that can hook you for hours.

Very similar to the first one but cheaper as it's a port, it maintains that characteristic sense of humor but the story is weak.

Disgaea 2 is certainly a game that stat whores will waste hours on. You can get to ridiculous levels and do attacks that would make Final Fantasy lose it's lunch.

A SRPG player’s dream. A person could spend hours just wandering around the item worlds leveling up characters and items, or one could just go straight through the game without turning back.

The game includes a solid 40 hours of gameplay for the main story line, but you can get countless other hours building up your characters and exploring every bit of the game.

The complexities of the customisations and battle tactics available in this sequel are as huge as ever and although this is largely the same game with only a few tweaks; these tweaks work well. Disgaea fans will rejoice.

It's got drama, humor, and crazy characters, which will keep you coming back for more. [Oct 2006, p.79]

Disgaea 2 adds only one significant new feature to its gameplay: the ability of stacked characters to attack.
