Lead a group of high school students with a dangerous extracurricular activity: exploring the mysterious tower Tartarus and fighting the sinister Shadows during the Dark Hour, a frozen span of time imperceptible to all but a select few. However, the end of their quest is no longer the end of the story--witness for the first time the aftermath of the final battle and the students' struggle to find meaning in their new lives.

Summary: Amazing Dating-Sim Style RPG
Comment: LOVED:
+ incredible social interactions (picking which girls to date)
+ wide range of demons to summon
+ live day to day student life
+ join after school clubs or sports
+ visit the mall, ramen shop, or bookstore
LOATHED:
- tedious grinding
- almost no replay factor
Definitely buy the FES version. It's everything the original was, plus added content. New personas, extra missions, costumes, and more. <3

Summary: Long plesant game
Comment: A nice RPG that goes for a nice presentation in characters and game design, the history I havent see it all since this is a LONG game, I think around 100hrs.
Dont be afraid of the teens pointing fake guns to their heads, that is just the way they summon the Personas, and that happens so often that you get to not notice it, and is not that disturbing.
The Personas, there are so many and you can fuse them to make even stronger personas is a nice touch.
The social links and the live at school is other nice touch that improves your character towards the nights of fighting.
Its a nice RPG that I recomend, maybe the weakest point is that the game is so long (that is good), that the story develops very slow pace (this is bad).

Summary: A great experience for any fan or novice to RPG's
Comment: I have played through dozens of turn-based RPG's and Persona 3 is one of the best. It's rare for me to finish a game and say, "I'm going to play this again as soon as I can!"
From the first cut scene you'll be hooked asking yourself what is going on? Unlike many games, you have one school year to complete your quest and almost everything you do, takes up time. During the day, you attend school and spend time doing activities; but at night, you journey to a labyrinth called Tartarus to wage war against beings called shadows that feed on human flesh. To assist you in battle, you can summon "personas" that are managed by "social links" which you achieve by establishing and creating friendship bonds with fellow students. As a student, you have to improve abilities like courage, charisma, and even academics to be able to talk to certain individuals. As a warrior, you must find the answer to stop the shadows before life as you know it ceases to exist.
ONE GAME IS NOT ENOUGH IN THIS PACKAGE, there is a second journey called The Answer which picks up where the first one leaves off. It is similar but much harder. It's not as long but it's almost as much fun as the original.
Overall an awesome package at a very low price and a must own for any fan of RPG's.

Summary: Great, But
Comment: The game concept is excellent. Good storyline, graphics, music, and level grinding. But I don't yet see any real goal to the midnight grinding yet.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great graphics, music, setting, etc., but repetative gameplay.
Comment: I really liked this game when I first started playing it. It has great graphics for a PS2 game. The music is really good and draws you into the mood of the game. The characters are well developed. The general mood and theme of the game are really good ranging from the light and bouncy NPCs to the dark battle areas. However, I've never been a fan of games like "The Sims" where you have to build up relationships and such over time and you only get to do one or two things a day. There's not much immediate gratification from those kinds of things. That would be OK though if the battle system were more interesting. However, it's like one of those old random dungeon crawlers. You wander through some non-distinct areas with enemies that are not very creative and mostly just upgrades from past levels and then you hit a road block. Once you get to a certain level of the "dungeon" you can't go any further until the right day where you can fight a boss and then the levels open up again. This leads to not really needing or desiring to go back since there's not going to be anything new to do or any new goals. So most of the days you just go do the sim stuff and it gets a little boring. I really want to go back to playing it because I enjoyed the main story line and the creating new personas, but I can't get myself to go back to it for more than a couple of hours at a time and there are so many other good games for the PS2 that I haven't played.
So, if you are a fan of "The Sims" then you may like this since the battles are really not even that hard or important to the storyline. But if, like me, you got bored of The Sims after a few days of playing it, then you'll get bored of this game too.
