Sorry about the picture quality my battery was too low for flash on most of them

The boxset itself is great though!
The figures are about 2inches big each, but they are extremely heavy for their size, well detailed and have a nice vinyl finish. Cool thing is they are also magnetic so they just stick to the base!
The artbook is a-bit cheaply made but the art it's self is great. Gives you a intro to each character, as well as a comment from the Japanese voice actors which is pretty funny to read.
The soundtrack is awesome, alot of old school disgaea tunes re-mixed in there but mostly new stuff and some really strange sounding ones

the vampire song sounds like lady gaga going fabulous max ;p
That about sums it up for the boxset, was well worth the money and the wait! and now for the game!

Right first things first - THIS IS THE BEST DISGAEA SINCE THE ORIGINAL! really with in just the opening scene i was already laughing and even though im only one chapter (episode) down im already attached to Val & Fenrich and even emizel is pretty funny. Havent met anyone else besides Axel but he is the same as he as always been, an [censored]
graphically you hear alot of people [censored] "Eh the graphics look like something from the nighties" "Why is it so simple" etc.. etc.. etc.. but for anyone who has been a long time fan of Disgaea this is a world apart.
I actually cant describe how good looking those sprites are when you see them on screen and not just a youtube video or picture lol. They are pretty much fully animated now and the gestures they make are much more noticable and even facial expressions.
The "cardboard" cut outs are still here for the story events but they now animated between poses and quite frequently at that, this is also beautifully done and much appreciated!
Backgrounds as well are great, well detailed and moving with all sorts of stuff they are very pretty to look at!
The soundtrack is great and the english voice acting is passable, while i usually play games with the Japanese voice track if i can, Osu from prinnies just doesn't compare to dood. There are one or two annoying voices and they way emizal speaks is a total wigger, so i can become a-little vexing but it suits him.
The crazy scale has been kicked up aswell with more randomness and insanity in the first chapter than i think 2 had all game
And as for the gameplay! still good old disgaea goodness with monster that are actually useful for a change! It resembles Disgaea 3's play style more than the first games but the new features such as monster fusion rock O.O!
Well thats pretty much it on my first thoughts for the game once iv sat down and played 10+ hours ill write my full thoughts ;p
