To say the truth, I think that Kansen 4 was inferior if compared with the first three games (it’s still fairly good, however), let’s just hope that Janis/Speed learned the lesson… Or maybe not, if really this Kansen 5 is NOT a sequel (I HOPED FOR A WORLDWIDE EPIDEMIC! :twisted: ) but, like Kansen 4, happens during the events of another game (Kansen 3, this time) :roll:
I’ll sign up and get this, since I’ve already gone through 1 thru 4.
Ya know… it would be interesting if they showed someone with full immunity to the disease. It’s not as far fetched as it sounds… and it would make an interesting plot point (just because they’re immune, doesn’t mean they’re not a target).
In my case, I liked “a lot” Hitomi and her route because I have a soft spot for “too serious” heroines, and liked the ‘trapped rats’ feel of her route even more.
Very good review :mrgreen: , my only problem is that http://www.pzbx-gr.com/ persists in its (Italian only?) block…
I don’t know, my guess it’s because of ‘bandwith theft’ ( http://altlab.com/hotlinking.html ) from pirates (as hinted by Sagaoz himself to an old email from me). It’s a fact that 100% of those Italian sites with hentai contents are from or for pirates :evil: …
Okay I’ve started playing Kansen 3 and the only thing I have to say is…how on earth do I advance the story? I’ve been following a walkthrough and selecting the choices that come up but I always die. The guide says something about switching viewpoints but the option has never come up (assuming it’s like in Kansen 2).
Edit: Never mind the walkthrough was just giving me bad/wrong directions, sadly it’s only one I could find:
Oops sorry, posted on http://vndb.org/v7804 but forgot your question :oops: , in short Kansen 5 is pretty good and boasts great graphics, musics and writing, but definitely LACKS tension and the difficulty level is low, although the most annoying thing (BY FAR) are the fake routes, they may be well written but I HATE games where 80% of the contents are devoted to fake routes/endings whose main function is to provide background info for the “real” route :roll: :x …
In conclusion, this Kansen 5 IS good, but inferior to Kansen 3 (the BEST one in the series) and Kansen 1 (much shorter, but also MUCH more amusing), however I still gave it a “8” because of its strong points (this includes the fact it (finally!) explains what’s happened after the events narrated in the “Secret Files” booklets coming with Kansen 1 and 3).
Yeah, Kansen 2 is inferior to Kansen 1 and I’m with you in most points except for two things: the Infection route (I hated it, even if it’s supposed to be a satire of the “walking dead” genre), and the final score (I rated the game 7/10 because of Maya, the graphics and the improved difficulty level -the choices themselves, NOT the timer-).
I’m sure you WILL appreciate Kansen 3, however .
I’m currently playing 3 and while I’ve only completed Yuho’s first ending, I’ve been enjoying it so far. My only complaint is the return of that damn timer and this time there’s no continue option.
