Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood Review

The Disgaea franchise is well on its way to becoming the video game equivalent of that creepy guy who never quite grew out of his college goofball phase, even though he's become a bald, paunchy 40-year-old who can't hold down a day job. You know the guy: he's too busy trying to drum up stale laughs by sipping beer from a hat lined with twisty straws and doing John Belushi's "I'm a zit" routine to get his life together. Disgaea was deliriously fun back when it first hit the scene in 2003, a fresh, irreverent take on the tactical RPG that didn't just allow you to break the gameplay systems but actively encouraged it. Eight years later, however, the schtick is wearing thin.

The series hasn't really evolved so much as it's amplified its own quirks, building itself into a juggernaut of corny parody and lopsided play balance rather than something truly refined. Nowhere is this more blatant than in the Prinny spin-off titles, which thrust the series' low-level peg-legged penguin demon mascots into hard-as-nails platforming challenges. As a matter of fact, the latest spin-off, Prinny 2: Dawn of Operation Panties, Dood!, encapsulates everything good and bad about Disgaea.
