Okay, so I admit I absolutely HATE snow. Or rather I did until it got me out of school for a week, but my rapture quickly turned back to contempt after spending an hour digging my car out of the snow with a couple of old Tupperware containers. But on the bright side, I had a lot of free time!...to do my homework... To be honest I haven't had the time to watch TV or just surf the web or anything like that. The only thing I have been doing outside of homework to keep myself sane is playing Persona 3!
And It. Is. Awesome. Not as good as the newer Persona 4 but worthy of writing an analysis for.
It is an older game for the PlayStation 2 and before you think it I do play the PS3 but it's just fun to go back and play older games sometimes.
This game is such a great RPG it's one of the very few that really sucks me in and makes me feel like I AM playing the role. It takes you to Japan and puts you in a Japanese school where you take test, make friends, participate in extra curricular activities all between fighting monsters called shadows with your other self called a persona in an alternate setting called Tarturus that appears during the dark hour when everyone turns into coffins... yea during my high school years I suffered through acne and bad hair, but I guess the Japanese are a different culture.
But aside from all the crazy, it really is well done. The story is well written, the translation was amazing, and it gave me a genuine Japanese high school experience which is pretty cool for a video game. Of course it has it's flaws but they're all game based and don't have much to do with media so I won't go into them.
In any case, Persona 3 and 4, great games, PlayStation 2, great console, video games, WONDERFUL MEDIA.
