A dating game on American shelves?! Amazing. Sprung is cool, but I wouldn't spend more than $10 on it.
For a dating sim, this game is pretty... the characters are sharp and animated, which is a big step above the norm of still-images. The sound is decent too, as good as most other things on DS anyway.
The gameplay at its roots is the same as any other dating sim... they say something, you get 3 choices, they respond, you get three choices, etc. Unfortunetly, the game ends up being difficult and very linear... you have to try the same scenes over and over again, and if you don't pick the exact correct sequence you simply fail and have to start the scene over. It's almost as if you're not really playing... there are only a few times where you're actions actually determine the outcome, which is kindof lame. The tagline "where everyone scores" should read "where everyone scores the exact same way, through trial and error". That's what really keeps this game from being interesting.
The Verdict:
If you're like me, and you're pathetic enough to have played a dating sim before, this game will prove to be an interesting trip down memory lane. The game isn't really that great, even for a dating sim, so if you really want to... go ahead and give it a try. Just wait a month or two and it'll be in the bargain bin. Other than that, I really can't recommend this game to anyone... because it kinda sucks. There are plenty of other DS games that are worth your time, get those instead.
