Persona 2 : Innocent Sin

Persona 2: Innocent Sin Review

Persona 2: Innocent Sin for the PSP has been, in some circles, a very long time coming. Originally released in 1999 by Atlus for the Japanese PlayStation, this PSP port represents the first time the game has ever been available on American soil. Its sequel, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is a beloved classic among RPG aficionados, though many fans were unaware that it was actually the second half of a larger story arc. Those who were aware have likely been crossing off the days until Innocent Sin's release. As a huge RPG nerd myself, I am happy to report that Innocent Sin was well worth the wait. The game sometimes fights itself with archaic mechanics and dated visuals, but in the end, Innocent Sin emerges the victor thanks to its unique sense of style and a level of gameplay and thematic depth that even the best modern RPG's would be hard pressed to beat. Persona 2: Innocent Sin Screenshots For those late to the party, Persona 2: Innocent Sin is one of many titles developed by Atlus as part of a larger RPG "brand" known as the Shin Megami Tensei series (or MegaTen for short). Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga and Persona are but a few of the most recent IP's in this long running family of games.
