One of the best examples of why the PS2 is just in another level.

The first Disaster Report was a fun proof of concept game. Adventure with natural disaster setting with a lot of set pieces and a little bit of date sim. In the sequel they just decided to make one of the best games in the generation. The basic concept still the same but everything is better and the multiple playable characters just adds more to the experience. The first chapter is your regular Disaster Report, you and your possible partner trying to survive and you deciding how to act and what you should focus. Then you get to play a murder thriller occurring while the city is drawing and right after you are just a taxi with a cute journalist investigating an corruption scandal togheter at the same time everything going down. And then you play as a girl who was left to die in the school because of bullying and the list goes on. Disaster Report is low budget but uses everything it cans to give life and interesting situations to the player there's not one single moment in the game that isn't engaging they can turn even just found itens to try to resolve a fever in something interesting.

You may don't have complex situations like you get in Disaster Report 4 that really made me think about while playing but everything is just so creative. Is the best kind of game out there, just use everything you can in video game as an art and have fun. The guys behind those games really knew what they are doing.
