Persona 2

Persona 2: Innoncent Sin review
“Innocent Sin” is the second in Persona series, and is in fact the first part of a large game split in two parts. The second part is Eternal Punishment, a game that was translated into English and released in USA. Called Tsumi (“Sin”) and Batsu (“Punishment”) in Japanese, both games bear a common title Tsumi to Batsu, “Crime and Punishment”, just as the famous novel by Dostoyevsky. The first Persona was also released overseas, but the translation was heavily modified to suit the tastes of American audience. “Innocent Sin” itself, along with countless other excellent console RPGs, never left the islands it was created on.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment review
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is actually the third game in the Persona series and is part of the Megami Tensei (MegaTen) universe. Despite being a part of a larger universe, the game is playable as a stand-alone title. (Though, obviously, more will be gotten from it if the other games have been played as well). Accomplishing that may be a trick since only the first game, Revelations: Persona, was released in North America. The second one, Persona 2: Innocent Sin, never made it out of Japan.
