Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga review

Better the devil you know than the devil you don't? You're best off avoiding them entirely in this bizarre RPG

The look of the game is particularly striking. There's none of your bright cartoonish cuteness going on here. Instead you'll find some massively sophisticated vistas, characters, environments and enemies all brought to pastel-shaded anime life by the great Japanese artist Kazuma Kaneko.

The decidedly creepy yet beautiful visuals really make Digital Devil Saga stand out from the crowd and the look of the characters and cut-scenes even surpasses Lucifer's Call.
