Digaea 2: Dark Hero Days is a remake of the original Disgaea 2, and it improves upon the original in every way. Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days has a new mode called Axel Mode (The Original Dark Hero), similar the how Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness had it's special Etna Mode, which allows you to use the engine from Disgaea 3 on the PSP. Something that is really cool in Disgaea 2 is the ability to make Generic Characters and level up those characters to make different ranks of those characters that are even stronger than the original. This game also, surprisingly enough, looks AND plays better than the original Disgaea 2. Below, I will provide a basic 1-10 scale of rating each aspect of the game.
Graphics: 9/10
The game looks amazing, and the fact that it looks better on the PSP is astonishing, but, you gotta admit it, the sprites could look better. Also, some of the 3D textures look worse than other new PSP games. Also, sometimes you can't see what is happening since the camera is in a bad spot. Furthermore, you can't see an enemy every once in awhile since he's in a blind spot.
Gameplay: 10/10
Disgaea has always been praised for it's awesome and epic gameplay, and Disgaea 2 for the PSP is no exception. The gameplay is just as addicting as before, and even adds the engine from Disgaea 3 to the PSP version, which allows tons of more possibilities.
Sound/Music: 8.5/10
There are some great songs in this game, but since you're going to be doing some power leveling you might get sick of the music after awhile. Try putting the PSP on mute if you get sick of it.
Replay Value: 10/10
Once you beat the game, you won't want it to end. If you're like me you might wanna beat it about three times, so that you can unlock EVERYTHING. Also, if there are times when you can obtain an alternate ending, SAVE. There are seven alternate endings, so unless you want to restart the game each time you should save frequently.
Overall: 9.4/10
Thanks for Reading!
