OK, so I may not have the biggest collection in the world, but it is my personal collection and I am quite proud of it … so, because I have nothing else to do right now, because I’m killing time as I wait for Crescendo, and did I mention because I have nothing else to do?
At any rate I’m going to present my little collection here, along with a 1 to 3 sentence capsule of what I thought of each game.
Feel free to agree, disagree, or comment if you so desire… (hence the reason it’s being posted to a message board lol)
In alphabetical Order (all or English Bishoujo games)
Casual Romance Club
I just believe there is something special about this game and it always brings something new to me each time I play it. The fact there are so many girls to choose from and interact with is also certainly a plus in my department. Did I mention I love the art work?
Graduation
I loved it the first two or three times, but quickly became board with it after the initial novelty wore off. The character’s were too stereotypical (even for me and I think stereotyped characters can be used to good effect in some cases) in this one. It did require some brain power though, which was a plus.
Kana – Little Sister
This game is always going to rank in my top 3 because of the beautiful story and music that goes along with it. It also wins the award of being the only computer game (or video game for that matter) to make me cry for hours on end after completing it. The flashbacks that were woven into it and the huge age span included were also key factors to me enjoying this one.
Phantom of Inferno
While the concept seemed like a good idea, I just never could get into this game to a point where I could actually enjoy it. I also didn’t like the password method the game used to save games. I know there are people who love it, but I just don’t think spy thrillers are my type of thing.
Season of the Sakura
My first game and it too will always be in my top 3 just because I love the setting, characters, and story along with the interwoven cultural aspects. Like Casual Romance Club, the large number of girls/characters to interact with was also a huge plus for this game from my point of view. Additionally, I would love to see more games that are very similar in nature to it…
Snow Drop
I have mixed feelings about this one… On one hand, I did find it enjoyable, on the other hand… I also found it highly frustrating. I hear that’s the norms for most who play it though…
The Maid’s Story
Like Graduation, I loved this game the first 2-3 times I played it, but it didn’t take long for it to become tedious. The few S&M aspects that were involved were a plus for me (as I have love for MILD BDSM), but I felt
A) The story was lacking and could have been improved upon (as is the case in most sims I suppose)
and
B) I felt more could have went on at night besides just the night training… Frankly I got tired of sex training each night, being able to choose to do something else would have heighened my interest in this game.
Also, the fact it was a simulation was something I both loved and hated about this one.
Tokimeki Check In
I didn’t like this game as much as other people seemed to simply because I (and maybe I just don’t have the right type of humor) didn’t find most of what I think was supposed to be funny actually funny. (Although there were a few hilarious moments, that I will admit!) While the large number of endings was impressive, this game (for the most part) just seemed to drag on to me… which I realize many will find strange as it tends to be a favorite, but while Kana pulled me right along and it seemed like the time flew by, with this title I actually felt I had set there for 4+ hours by the time I finished my first run through…
— My Recent Order: Crescendo
Considering jumping on the Brave Soul Bandwagon, but will wait and see if by some miracle Little My Maid comes out before the end of the year as I’ll opt for that over Brave Soul for now.
OK, thanks for helping with some of my boredom… I feel better now. lol
