First of all I should say that i'm a veteran of the series having played the previous two titles. If you are completely new to the series then you may find it slightly overwhelming as you play on, but please don't stop reading now because once you get your head around the game mechanics it is well worth your time!The main story is fairly short but it is well written and is downright zany! It likes to poke fun at most cliches in RPG games and does so very well. It doesn't take itself too seriously. It also has an equally zany cast of characters which make this game absolutely brilliant! Once the main story is completed you are left with tons of sidequests to complete, which take up the majority of the game.It could take you 100+ hours to finish everything and see everything. Also for fans of the series most of your favourite characters from previous games make an appearance so there some great fan service (as expected from NIS America).I should probably elabourate slightly. In this game you can level your characters to lv9999. There are over 50 classes of character each with their own sets of special moves which can be upgraded separately. There are a large selection of items, which (surprise, surprise) can be leveled seperately in an interesting fashion. Each item has its own little world which is a randomly generated dungeon. Battling through this will level your item up. If this wasn't enough there are also multiple ending to unlock and things like 'pirating' and the 'Land of Carnage' to get acquainted with.Also if you already own the ps3 version of this it is worth noting that the Vita version actually contains all DLC as part of the standard game. All I can say is that I bought this game when it came out and I've clocked up 60+ hours without really denting the sidequests available, but more importantly i've played for 60+ hours without being bored. I haven't touched another game on my Vita.So to sum up I really can't recommend this enough. Even if this isn't your kind of game just give it a shot as it really is an experience worth having. If it sounds overwhelming don't worry because online forums are very welcoming to newcomers and help and advice is always around the corner. With a little bit of effort you will have one of the most fantastic gaming experiences possible. It will keep you occupied for hours on end, which is especially useful if you're waiting for titles such as Gravity Rush, Killzone other blockbuster titles for the Vita. So yh, don't miss out!!!!!!!

I've been playing games in the Disgaea series since picking up Disgaea : Hour of Darkness for PS2 about 6 years back, and the games have gotten progressively better and better with each re-release. If you have this game already for PS3, don't let the fact it's a port put you off. This improves on MANY issues with the PS3 version, and adds some entirely new features and improvements not seen in any existing Disgaea games yet.For those that have played the PS3 version, this game includes all of the Raspberyl mode DLC from that version, all character DLC, and various new DLC-esque expansions. The entirely new content in this game is the addition of two new chapters for characters Rutile (a Half human,half nekomata delinquent), and Stellar Grossenburg (A Majin in training). The replacement of voice actors and the lack of emotions displayed by said actors makes these new chapters somewhat lackluster, but the experience overall is nice, and adds some fun new content to the game. In terms of minor additions, the "Skip animations" setting will no longer skip animations for attacks you haven't seen yet. They also added a new "Absorb" function in the class, so once you have created a character, you can completely absorb them to take all of their skills, evilities, and a portion of their levels. Finally, characters Fuka and Desco from Disgaea 4 have been added as an "End game" treat, once you have completed all extra scenarios.For those who have never played a Disgaea game. Are you a fan of RPGs? Strategy games? Have you played Final Fantasy Tactics, or Tactics Ogre, but been left feeling like there just wasn't enough content? Disgaea is a great series to get in to. This particular game makes references to Japanese and American pop-culture frequently, and constantly makes stupid yet funny puns and jokes that keep you smiling whilst playing. Everything in this game is absolutely over-the-top. The highest possible level is 9,999 (not a typo), individual stats like Attack can reach in to the millions, and the current highest damage seen dealt is in the trillions. Want to become the best? This is a game where you can put plenty of effort in to have a great set of characters to show for it. Countless hours of fun, with endlessly generating gameplay, and lots to do after you've finished the story.

This game is a lot of fun, but uses a very popular engine, that's starting to get annoying.Firstly: the game. Disgaea 3 is a brilliant game with good doses of humour, combat and strategy. It uses a battle system with phases and tiles, such that a character may move any number of floor tiles, up too a maximum for that character, then attack adjacent tiles or use skills that can hit different tiles within a certain range. Movements are done as and when you please, and attacks are lined up in a queue, and then executed all in a row, allowing for certain attacks and skills to be chained or combined for damage bonuses. The story seems to be quite vast (haven't completed it yet), and the upgrading system is big.Probably a bit too big. For those who like nicely-animated games, this one's a treat to the eyes. The colours are vibrant, the movement is quite upbeat and the animation, where it exists, is quite jolly. The music is quite good, but doesn't change that much throughout the story, so can get boring after a while.Secondly: my impressions. Although the game is a good one, I can't help but be put off by the battle system they use. This battle system has featured in many games, most popularly in the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, Final Fantasy Chocobo's Tales,and some Fire Emblem games. Although the phase-based modifications made to the system are quite refreshing, it still becomes a bit repetitive after playing a number of the others. Also, this battle system is not recommended for beginners or people who intend on light playing, as there's too much depth to the system, and the battles are intense. The strategic element of the games is good for getting people to think in a logical and out-of-the-box way, but not quite the right idea just before bed.All in all, best game I've seen using this battle system, but I'm already bored of the system.

Disgaea 3 is a humorous, fiendishly addictive SRPG that fits the Vita better than it ever did the PS3. The turn-based strategy maps are easy to drop in and out of for short sessions, but numerous and varied enough for longer sessions. The Vita version also contains all paid DLC from the console release for free, on top of its own exclusive content. Basically, way more content than you could shake any manner of stick at.The mechanics are as numerous as they are complex. To put it briefly, the maximum character level is 9999. It gets more ridiculous from there, but the game does ease you into its more intimidating aspects in the opening hours.After the very charmingly written story (featuring excellent full voice acting in both English and Japanese) is over, the true number crunching begins. There's never a shortage of things to do and achieve in Disgaea 3, so it's well worth the price tag.The game contains references to parts 1 and 2, but is otherwise an independent story that stands entirely alone. The whole series is of course worth playing, but Disgaea 3's accessibility and lightheartedness make it a good starting point.For SRPG players, this is a no-brainer. If you just like JRPGs or anime, it's very well worth looking into. Chances are you'll find something to love.

So for me this is probably the best JRPG game for the ps vita (I've not played disgaea 4 yet). Having said that be warned this is a turn based strategy rpg. The story is ridiculous and pretty poor.So why is it still the best? Well its pretty endless an so well suited to hand held consoles! You have a wide variety of characters to develop and wowzers can you develop them! In fact you can even eventually mix them and evolve them! There's also weapon customization and creation, a special item world, the list goes on and on. I don't want to give too much away as part of the adventure is learning the disgaea world.If you like a challenge, want endless hours of gaming,something quick to play on the commute to work or something to pass the time whilst dodging work for ten mins on the loo, then this is the game. It's highly addictive fun. You can work your way through battle maps at your own pace, levelling all your different characters at your own pace.If you're still unsure watch some gameplay videos on you tube. But for me this game is exceptional!

Being the son of the overlord of hell is to live in the shadow of greatness, but what if the said son plotted the downfall of his father?Back are the favourites from the universe such as the prinnys, explosive bad tempered penguins and the geo battle squares.You take on the role of the protagonist as you recruit more followers to your cause [mostly the become enslaved to you after being beaten in combat] as you nearer you goal - to become the overlord of hell.You will quickly realise that defeating the overlord is not going to be a straight forward fight as the first encounter with him results in you assaulting his hand, which takes up the entire battlefield..!As well as the usual `missions` that make up the storyline,you can take a break and jump into the item world, each and every item in the game can be played as a battlefield against the residents that `live` inside the item, each floor you complete increases the items power, so the deeper you delve the more useful and powerful the item is going to be for you.

When I first time tried disgaea series. I was instantly in love with it. Nippon Ichi Softwere, represented by NIS america is now my favourite gaming company. And they never let me down. Disgaea 3 is just great, I played a lot now, and I never got fed up with its content. A lot of great features, great load of weapons, and armors to chose from, and what I was waiting for most, another GREAT storyline. How long you can play you ask? TONS of hours. Disgaea has no end, and if you are not using power leveling, and duping tricks, it will take you months to perfect your characters, who comes in numerous variety.Pros:-Never ending-Great story line-Lot of features-Laharl, Etna, Flone.(YEAH \m/)-Many ways of customization, starting on items, ending on characters.-Nice effects, in comparison to previous titlesCons-Graphic lovers will be downed.

Ok...I will be honest...I almost gave up on this straight away as it seems like there is a lot to learn (I have never encountered the series before). I love Final Fantasy etc so the genre is familiar, but wow this game is pretty out there and really different. It has great humour, though, and once you kinda embrace the madness, it is a brilliant game. I have been on it today for around 8 hours and have barely scratched the surface. It's the kind of thing I was looking for, having invested in a Vita I wanted an immersive/addictive game.All I would say is GIVE IT A GOOD CHANCE before you make your mind up. It is certainly different, there is quite a lot to learn,but it is so worth it and for me is a definite must have for the Vita.

Being a long time fan of the disgaea series and nis games in general i was very happy to pick this up on the ps3 upon release.After a few days gameplay i moved onto a new purchase and didnt really give it the love and time a disgaea title needs, BIG MISTAKE!After purchasing the vita version i was hooked again and this time i kept coming back for more, and as i take my vita everywhere with me, its become the only game i play!The added bonus of all the ps3 dlc being included is AMAZING and adds massivly to the games life which if you are serious about it can be AGES!The game really does shine on the vita and is worth a place in any gamers collection, roll on disgaea 4 for the vita!5*

An excellent game, takes what was great about previous entrys in the series and improves upon them. In the vita edition you get all DLC which is great value for money. JRPGs are the best gaming genre by far and this game is the best JRPG by far. Will keep you busy for literally hundreds and hundreds of hours. If I was on a desert island and was only allowed one game.... this would be it :)Most of my other vita games such as Little big planet and Soul sacrifice don't even get played due to Disgaea 3.... to addictive. A must buy for strategy JRPG and grind vest lovers.

Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention not only brings you every DLC that was available in the PS3 version, it tweaks the game with several improvements that were only present in Disgaea 4 AND adds a bunch of new stuff that even Disgaea 4 didn't have. The game is less expensive than the combined cost of all the DLC for the PS3 version and the new features will make sure this monster consumes hundreds of hours of your time, again.

Great game for those that like tactical turn based RPG's. It pretty much what it sets out to be. Visuals are relatively poor for a Vita title, but the game is the same on PS3 with equally poor visuals, they are stylised though to be very cartooney, the story shares a cartooney nature, suitable for children with the exception of a few sexualised characters in the game.Overall pretty fun, and worth the price.

13.2.2013

I like the Disgaea games this one was not as good as the Psp version sadly and the graphics are pretty much the same. The story can be a little childish and the cut scene do drag on. But the battle elemts are far better than part 2 on psp and you willl be playing the game for hours I still love it

10.2.2016

An addictive game. I've played the PS3 version of this game and enjoyed it, but this one is much better. There are more mini-bosses, sidequests and recruitable characters than the PS3 version. Also, characters have extra skills to make them more versatile and useful in battle.

12.7.2012

The combat is very deep and satifying and the story does not disappoint. It seems not very accessable but I had no trouble with it and the deeper layers of strategy feel optional with some leveling up before harder missions if you wish to blunder through relaxed.
