I love the book, hands down, everything I expected and more. This and the first "World of Disgaea" are wonderful compilations of the artwork of the series. I really hope they make a "World of Disgaea 3", I'd love to see that, and you can count me among the buyers if they do.
One thing though! Why don't they point out directly that it's a hardcover? I had no idea that it was a hardcover until it actually arrived at my doorstep, I had been expecting a paper cover. This is of course a good thing, I was very pleasantly surprised.
But anyway it's worth getting (especially for its relatively low $20.00 price tag, I would expect a hardcover artbook of this quality to sell for upwards of $40.00 in a local bookstore!) if only to see all the character designs and concept art. The descriptions of every item and cutscene sequence in the game and the interviews are just icing on the cake.
If you're fan of artbooks in general as I am, or if you're just a Disgaea gamer who likes the style, I'd recommend the World of Disgaea 2. I'd certainly say, for $20.00, you can't go wrong with it. Unless you burn it. In which case you're either an idiot, or it's really, really cold.
