3RRSS Find L2 Prologue

Today we have this interesting import game Find Love 2: the Prologue.
Now, I bought this off ebay some time ago mainly because it was
cheap and it was a yellow-label. Little did I know how utterly boring
and crappy this game would be. Even if you like this kind of stuff
(anime girls) you would do better elsewhere. So let's break it down and
see what this game has to offer to dating sim fans.

First off, at the main menu there is New Game, Continue, and I think
some sort of introduction to three of the main characters. Upon
starting a new game (you can name yourself in English characters) you
then are whisked away to a poorly rendered 3D room. From there you
notice that on your desk are the contents of the actual game.

Mode 1: On the bottom left hand side of the desk is a book. In it are
character designs and small galleries for the characters, as well as
drawings and sketches of the in-game scenery. Also in here is a short
piece on the other girls in the Find Love 2 game. You can click on the
drawings to see them up close and read about their backgrounds. The
little movie for the game is nothing more then screen shots from the
game with voice.

Mode 2: To the right of the book is a CD. Clicking this will take you to
the menu with the three main girls where you select a girl. Then it goes
into a poorly animated music video featuring the girls. The music
ranges from upbeat fun to in-the-rain sad. The animation is pretty poor
and overall, I just ask myself, "why?"

Mode 3: In the upper left section on the desk is a mode called the
"video phone mode". You pick one of the girls and then call them. Their
picture is then displayed on your fancy video phone. There are some
choices in the dialogue to be made, so that's keeps thing a bit
interesting (yeah right). Wow, what a boring mode. Nothing happens;
you just look at a poor still picture of a girl on your video phone. Next
mode please, and let it be good...

Mode 4: In the upper center of the table is a VHS tape. Let's see what's
inside. Pick one of the three girls and then-ahh so here we have the
visual novel part of the game, a sort of sample of the real thing. Hmm,
real life backgrounds, I like those. Character's mouth moves, I like
that. Voice-overs, this is good. Not very many pictures for the girl
though. There are choices in the dialogue on where you want to go (I
think). I like some of the backgrounds, very peaceful. Too bad the girls
are very plain and static. Once you enter this mode you can not get
out. I had to instant reset on my controller because I got bored. Well,
there's one mode left to sit through...

Mode 5: And on the far right of the table is a giant book. Clicking the
book brings up Information on the three girls. See all of their personal
statistics, hear them talk about themselves, and of course a gallery of
pictures. The pictures are mainly of the girls in various states of
undress, (no nudity, just underwear stuff). Overall not very hot and very
boring.

So from that I don't need to tell you that the gameplay here blows.
That's it for the game, it sucks.

But let's go into more detail to be fair. First the graphics: they are
terrible. The character designs are boring and cheap. The pictures
suck and the CG is lame. The menu interface is interesting, but nothing
special. Sure some of the backgrounds looked nice, but that's a pretty
lame compliment.

The sound: it is terrible. These girls have boring voices and the music
is pretty music box girly crap. Come on! Most games in the genre
usually have an awesome soundtrack but this is not the case. Hell, it's
not really a game I guess. It is not full voiceover either.

Replay. Replay? Hahaha! Ohh nice one. Sorry I can't see why you would
want to touch this thing ever again. Unless you have no friends and
need to desperately talk to an anime girl on the phone, then I see no
reason playing this game. Sure you'll want to see the pictures of the
girls in their underwear once, but once you find out that the pics are
neither sexy nor good, you'll let this one sit on the shelf.

Import warning: Hmm well it's not too hard to get around the menu,
and most of the game is spent looking at pictures, but there are some
dialogue choices in some of the modes. You won't understand a damn
thing, and further more, you won't understand why you bought this
piece of crap. My import warning is this: just stay away. I don't care
how cheap it is, you can do way better on the Saturn!

Ouch, what a bad game this is. And to make matters worse the loading
is really long. The actual Find Love 2 game looks ok, the graphics and
characters look improved. This is just a data disk so you really have to
be a fan of the series to like this game. Don't be tricked into buying it if
you just want a new 18+ game. Conclusion: This game sucks and you
do too if you buy it.
