Games/Shin Megami Tensei Persona 4/Reviews
From Giant Bomb Video Game Wiki
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is a role-playing game developed and published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2. It is chronologically the fifth installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. Like its predecessor, its gameplay combines a traditional role-playing game with elements of a social simulation. Its critical and commercial success spawned a sizable media empire, including several spinoff titles.
How much J-Pop can you handle?
Persona 4 is a journey. It's a definition of what the word "experience" could mean in regards to a video game. It's an emotional and relatable trek within a believable yet unfamiliar setting. But perh… Read more
I played all of Persona 4

The best JRPG on the PS2. Yes, really.
The Short Pros - Takes every complaint I had about Persona 3: FES and fixes it - Tons of really fantastic voice acting throughout - Has probably the most distinct, uniform art style of any game I've p… Read more

Flawed as a concept, yet masterfully executed.
