Interesting never played one of these titles before, the art style always put me off. Though I suppose if it's got good gameplay I'll give it a go.

I loved Disgaea: Hour of Darkness and have been considering picking up Afternoon of Darkness also. Like you said in the review, I don't know if I can justify buying essentially the same game purely for the extra Etna Story Mode.
Hrmm... extra Etna. I might have just talked myself into buying it. Heh.
Then again, the money would nicely go towards Disgaea 3... if it hurries up on getting released outside Japan.
Bah to decisions. Why can't I just have them all.

I've never played one of these games before so I will probably pick up this up when I get a PSP. I have so much fun with SRPGs. ^_^

Great game and trust me SRPGs are made for handhelds. Steering away from Etna mode and the game has made several improvements. It keeps track of records and allows the players to turn off the cinematics which can get very annoying after awhile.
Charly, if you've already finished Hour of Darkness I recommend you save your money for something else. As you've already mentioned apart from Etna mode there's really nothing new here.
I just hope they release Disgaea 2 on PSP.

Yeah, you're probably right Pete, Etna mode is the only new content, so it's not entirely worth it. However, if you're a big Disgaea fan like me, you won't be able to resist!  And it is pretty awesome to be able to play Disgaea on the go. Good to tide you over until the eventual release of Disgaea 3 here (or the U.S), which will still be some time I expect.
*crosses fingers for Disgaea 2 port*
