RandomNPC writes: "When Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army was released in the winter of 2006, it seemed to be a bit of a black sheep for the Shin Megami Tensei series. The game was much more about the alternate history detective story at the core of its plot than it was about the more traditional mythological influences of the series, and although the combat system still focused rather strongly on exploiting elemental weaknesses, the fact that it was action-based rather than turn-based made the game feel quite different from the normal SMT title. Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs King Abbadon brings the Devil Summoner sub-series a bit more into line with the overarching feel of the SMT series, but still retains most of what made the first game interesting. In short, Devil Summoner 2 is a solid improvement on the series."
This is one game I might have to dust off the PS2 for. Looks like some really good new content for one of the best systems of all time.
Plushies rule, gimme gimme.
man. . . ps2 still alive and still carrying those epic rpgs (kingdom hearts ff series etc.)
Love the artwork for the game.
Very surprised to see a Ps2 release!
A PS2 game, in 2009!?
