Devil Survivor...?

So anyone in the U.S. playing this? I haven't unwrapped my copy yet. Too much backlog in my gaming.
Haven't even finished Tsumi yet, been playing on and off.

I've been playing the ugly art RPG on and off these past few weeks. Several other people here have as well, but you won't hear them say anything about it here.

So Ali, what do you think about the game? Which of the SMT series would you compare it most to?
Why mix old and new Kaneko demon art? Why are we the only two left in this ghost town?

Well, obviously it'd be compared to the majin tensei games, you know? They were SRPGs too. It's an alright game but nothing special. The music is mediocre and the art is too. I blame the shitty art on the Persona series. If that crap didn't fly, we wouldn't keep seeing it.

Can't say I ever played the Majin series.
I don't mind Soejima's art that much, but compared to Kaneko...c'mon...no contest. Guy's Yakuza.

Kaneko had some weird looking stuff himself. I think Heat called it his  "Ghetto Art."

So what are your favorite games in the series, Ali? Some of your posts here are great, but I can't really get a sense of what you like about SMT.

I've liked SMT 1 2 and 3 with 3 being my favorite out of all these games. I liked the Avatar Tuner series, and I liked Maken X even though it really kinda sucked.  I liked the second second Persona 2, and thought the first persona 2 was alright (which I played without the patch. Go suck it Gemini.)
 
I liked Raidou 1 and 2, they were alright. What else...Maybe that's it. Yeah, Anyway, I like quite a bit of these games, but my favorite has been the first SMT series, even though they have shitty dungeons and most of their demons are palette swaps. Fun stories though.

Yeah, it's definitely the stories of the main series and DDS that got me into the games. I definitely prefer Persona 2 (both) over 1, 3 and 4. The mash-up of mythologies and religions are cool, and even the 'collection' aspect is fun, but it's the character design and development that keep me coming back. Although...there is Mara...huh.

Honestly I like this game a lot.  I do thing the character design is kind of blah and the main character design is a little to bland and also dumb (what the "F" is up with his headphones? Srly.).  I like the music personally, I have heard others don't like it but I think for what it is and for a DS game it is pretty good.  Maybe not I want the sound track to listen on it's own but I still think it's better then average.
 
The characters are a little bland, definitely not as fun as Person characters, but they are not annoying to me at least.  What I really like about the game is the story, I really like it, and I like how you can follow paths to different endings.

Glad to hear it's fun to play. I resumed my playthrough of Tsumi again, I'm clearing the shrines so almost done.
Then I just have to play Raidou 2, finish FES...damn...
