If you\'re looking for a thoughtful, challenging RPG experience, this is a Strange Journey worth taking; those who take issue with the thematic elements, however, might want to go adventuring elsewhere. [March 2010, p.91]

As far as Nintendo DS role-playing games go, this is my new favorite, hands down. But then again, I'm a huge fan of both dungeon crawling and Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei series games.

It's a great game with an intriguing story, incredible characters, a great soundtrack, and an immersive world. Though its primitive and often annoying dungeons hold it back.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey on the DS is like a dark and mysterious adventure into the unknown. For someone like me who's into gaming, this game really stands out in the Shin Megami Tensei **** story takes you on a crazy ride filled with suspense, tough decisions, and unexpected turns. The whole dark vibe of the game fits perfectly with its grown-up themes, making it a top pick in the JRPG **** cool part? The demon negotiation and fusion system. You get to customize your demon squad in so many ways, adding a layer of strategy that keeps the gameplay interesting. It's a challenge, though – you gotta think on your feet, which is great if you're into RPGs that really make you work for it.Graphically, it's not the flashiest, but the art style and creature designs are just timeless. And the soundtrack? It sets the perfect mood, adding to the whole ****, fair warning, if you're new to this kind of game, it might be a bit tough to get into. The difficulty level is no joke, especially if you're not used to classic **** in all, if you're into RPGs with a bit of a dark side and love a good challenge, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is a game you shouldn't miss. The demon system and gripping story make it a must-play for any RPG fan, even if it takes a bit to get the hang of it.

The Shin Megami Tensei series has proven itself as one of the most consistently well-made RPG franchises in recent memory, and SMT: Strange Journey is no exception. There are few dungeon exploration games that are as solidly well put-together and interesting.

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is one of the most dense, addictive and compelling role playing games you can find on the Nintendo DS.

If you\'re looking for a long, deep and engrossing RPG, take this Strange Journey on your DS.

Unless you're absolutely sick of Shin Megami Tensei's core mechanics or can't push past a few tutorial-heavy opening hours, Strange Journey's a fantastic RPG - portable or not.

For better or for worse, it makes the player the master of his own destiny. As it turns out, that\'s a heck of a challenge, but the challenge is worth it. [Apr 2010, p.87]

As a dungeon crawler, Strange Journey is abominable. As an SMT, it\'s unforgivable.

As the title states strange journey is strange. Quite unexpectedly we are lead back to the old days of the Megami Tensei franchise and no it isn't any less brutal. There is no press turn system and exploiting weakness is less important. The game's main theme is exploration which is why almost every area can be an absolute choir to travel through and can feel borderline impossible without some sort of online map. Resource gathering is also tedious. Not to mention demons can only have 6 moves instead of 8. The demon password system works well and while you can abuse it, it is very costly and while you're not hard pressed the game doesn't just hand it out ether. The story is unsurprisingly awesome, and while the demons may seem overtly preachy many of them are connected in some way to the planet that humanity has spend most of it's time desecrating. However the story as good as it is, the DS screen is small and reading a big text dump on the really small screen can get irritating. And because the game's main theme is exploration there is no way you can rush through this game. It's a solid title but the changes added since Nocturne were added for a very good reason and this game will shoehorn that point into you if it does nothing else.
