Not long ago, Atlus brought us Odin Sphere, a strikingly beautiful game that reminded us that the PS2 isn't something we should push to the side, now that we're in the world of cell processors and HDMI cables. Now they've brought yet another reason to keep the ol' system handy -- Persona 3, a part of the Shin Megami Tensei franchise.
I had never touched neither the Persona series nor the Shin Megami Tensei line before, so I had no idea what I was getting myself into with this game. I was worried that I'd be so laden with backstory and abstract concepts that I'd want to shoot myself. Thankfully, the game is relatively self-contained, and lightens the load -- though it still gives you plenty of reasons to shoot yourself. Good ones, too.
[Reviews monkey Linde here: tag-teaming Persona 3 this week with Brad is our mysterious guest reviewer, recently released from his/her seven-year incarceration in the bowels of an illegal secret prison. Sapped of strength and praying for death, their last wish was to review this game. I agreed, if only to loosen his/her vice-like grasp on my collar as they spat blood in my face in a hideous death rattle. Enjoy, everybody!]
