Oooooo - I'd *meant* Strange Journey - my personal favorite in the series, for the Nintendo DS, but if you happen to have fan-favorite Nocturne for the PS2, you should play it. The former has a more 'mature' plot, especially for the young medium of gaming, but only just. The latter - the one you have, Nocturne - is about several students who decide to check in on their ill teacher; things spiral out of control quickly, and soon you're roaming around the ruins of the world with your demon buddies, but that's part of the fun. The game is challenging, enjoyable, and remains quite appealing to the eyes long after the reign of the PS2, due largely to the gorgeous translation of Kazuma Kaneko's artwork into 3D. Stylization is where it's at! And yes, I've avoided saying much about the plot. It really deserves to be encountered on it's own.

If you play Nocturne, consider exploring the furthest depths of a certain place. It leads to a very satisfying conclusion. Try it - if it's not your thing, no big, but it's worth starting for the intro cinematic alone, I think. (And seriously check out Strange Journey, it's kind of like a John Carpenter movie. With demons.)
