Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 is a strange and wonderful trip into an anime adventure. You're an orphaned high school student, transferred to Gekkoukan High School on Port Island. After arriving, he's attacked by creatures known as Shadows. The assault awakens his Persona, Orpheus, from the depths of his subconscious, enabling him to defeat the terrifying foes. He soon discovers that he shares this special ability with other students at his new school. From them, he learns of the Dark Hour, a hidden time that exists between one day and the next, swarming with Shadows.

Summary: One of the top RPGs on the PS2
Comment: Persona 3 is a deliciously RPG with a fantastic sense of style. Newcomers to the Shin Megami Tensei series need not worry about feeling lost. The game does a fantastic job at introducing players to the SMT world.
Thanks to the One More battle system, most fights are quick and painless if you use your head. That's not to say the game is easy. There are definite times where I gamed over 4 or 5 times before getting by a specific area.
The socialization aspects of the game seemed tedious at first, but it soon became a welcome diversion to leveling up in the main dungeon. The freedom to choose when to tackle the dungeon and when to work on your character's social life is part of what makes Persona 3 great.
If you're only going to play one RPG this year, it should be Persona 3. Clocking in at about 75 hours for a playthrough, it might even take some people a whole year to play this.

Summary: Refreshing
Comment: This was my first SMT game and it has made my an Atlus Fan! The story is amazing, the combat is fun, and the inclusion of a sim-like experience makes it all the better!
I recommend this to all RPG fans! or at the least go get persona 4!

Summary: Great game, but don't buy it yet again just for the extras.
Comment: Persona 3 has been out for over a year, and Fes, the updated edition of it, has been out for several months as well, so I won't bother rehashing what has already been said: this game is amazing. If you like RPGs at all, purchase it, and if you've been hesitating, now is the time to purchase it, as it includes an art book and soundtrack for less than the MSRP of Fes itself and half the MSRP of the original game.
I purchased Persona 3 and loved it, as well as the art book and soundtrack that were included. I was about halfway through when Fes was announced, and was able to partially transfer my game save (character stats carry over, but you must start the game proper from the beginning). I didn't feel slighted at buying the original, since I did have the slipcover, book, and soundtrack with it, although the player's guide (from DoubleJump, sold seperately) doesn't cover the bonus content of Fes or the in-game quiz questions, which have been changed from the original.
Then this launched, and, at the sale price, I couldn't resist purchasing it again, hoping for an all-new slipcover, artbook, and soundtrack based around Fes.
To sum it up, I was disappointed: the "bonus materials" are the same as the ones included in the original release of the game, not updated for Fes. Its effectively the same as the original release except there's the updated Persona 3 FES in the box instead of the original Persona 3. An AMAZING deal if you're just getting into the game, but not worthwhile (and actually quite frustrating) if you're a fan hoping for new swag.

Summary: Mixed feelings about the Soundtrack
Comment: As I've bought the game before and played it this review isn't intended toward the game itself, if you want a proper review for it head to the game only product page. This is just a small little tidbit of onformation for those who have already played the game and are interested in the soundtrack and artbook. As far as I'm concerned the artbook while small, and it being my first game artbook, I was generally pleased with it, it had a few new pieces of art I had not seen before which really made it a nice addition. As for the soundtrack I was a little dissappointed with it's delivery, not only was it the Persona 3 soundtrack, not FES, but it was packed in a small sleeve cover and slipped inside the artbook. While I still enjoy the soundtrack I would have wished that I'd have gotten the FES soundtrack and not the original Persona 3 one. I for one picked this up during Black Friday so in my opinion it's not worth paying 40-50 dollars if you already own the game. If you'd still want to go through with it make sure you can either find a good way to dispose of your previous copy or that you atleast know what you're buying. I give the package itself a 3 star rating, while the game obviously gets a full 5 stars. If this is your first purchase of the game, it's highly recommended that you are aware of the lower price of the game alone.
