    Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 - PlayStation 2

    • with its compelling story, unforgettable characters and great gameplay i rank it at the top of my favorite games ever.
    • The gameplay is awesome but the story is even better
    • Fresh and interesting gameplay with a lighter tone than its predecessors
    • The gameplay itself is par for the course when it comes to JRPGs with a classic turn based system, but Persona 4 improves upon its predecessor by allowing the player to take control over every character if they so choose
    • The plot is compelling, the gameplay superior, the town charming
    • The gameplay is easy enough to pick up but more than challenging enough to keep you interested
    • I like this approach, I am tired of the Japanese rpgs that are meant for kids, but have a great story and equally good gameplay.
    • The entire game oozes style, the characters are likeable, the dual-gameplay of RPG-style fighting and a high school simulator works crazy well together, and it has a great soundtrack.

    • The low point of P4 comes from the repetitive gameplay once you get into the middle of the game and have to start leveling your fighting skills.
    • Excellent gameplay with a perfect balance between dungeon crawling and social interactions.
    • The gameplay has also been improved
    • This JRPG video game is great for its interesting story and good gameplay
    • No GAME should have 3 hours of cringe worry dialogue and ZERO gameplay.
    • There were no main characters that I absolutely could not stand, the art style is clean and crisp, and the gameplay is easy to grasp, if slightly repetitive
    • From the cult theme to the intricate gameplay to story length this was a classic the moment it came out
    • I really did enjoy the characters & the gameplay was amazing

    • My biggest qualm with P4 is it's unbelievably restrictive time-line based gameplay
    • Some may have a tough time dusting off their PS2s after firing up their next-gen consoles, but for those who crave gameplay and story over flashy graphics and hype it isn't a stretch to call the game Game of the Year material, and easly one of the best JRPGs to come along in over a decade
    • And then there are passing moments when you realize that you don't know a character as well as you thought, like when Chie mentions in passing that Yosuke calls her up at night to tell her dirty jokes
