    Shin Megami Tensei:Pesona 4 is a Japnese RPG/ Social Simulator developed by ATLUS, THE MASTERS OF WEIRD JAPANESE RPGs. The game takes place in the course of a single school year where the player portrays a student transferring to a rural town. Itis here that a murder mystery sends waves of shock across the town and it is up to the player and his group of friends to master the powers of their persona and discover who the murderer is who has disrupted their happy, albeit boring lives. The action is turn-based and fun with the type of Japanese flare Atlus is known for with visuals that are satisfying on the PS2 and a very fun and unique visual style. The game also incorporates Social simulations that allows the player to understand the characters he interacts with which rewards the player with the ability to create even more powerful personas. Also included in this incarnation of the series are bonuses for leveling up these "Social links" with your party which makes these characters even more helpful in battle. This Title is a wonderful Role-Playing experience that any fan of JRPGs should not miss.

      Atlus welcomes you to the Midnight Channel. My Darkzero review 0

      When it comes to the Playstation 2, there hasn't being a company right now as loyal as Atlus. Most other companies have abandoned the Playstation 2 to put their games on the main systems that are on sale at the moment. Atlus on the other hand are still releasing console exclusive quirky Japanese games on the very successful Playstation 2. For that we have to give a big thanks to Atlus. I'm sure a lot of Japanese RPG fans are extremely happy for Atlus to still be sticking to the system, which in ...
