I bought this game thinking it would be like the old word adventures and a fun twist on dating sims... boy, was I wrong!

User Rating: 4.1 | Sprung DS
Sprung had an interesting premise: you are to pick either a male or female, and you try to hook up with the opposite sex during a vacation to some mountain with your friends. At first, this game seems really cool and different, but you soon find out that it is just annoying!

First off, it does have some really good looking graphics, which are just drawn backgrounds and charcters (with some great facial expressions), and the first couple of levels are interesting, because you basically get to pick which girl you want to try and hook up with as well learn the ropes of the game and trying to hook up with the opposite sex. For completing various tasks (which require you to ask the right questions and answer the right way) you get pictures of what's happening as well as items to update your collection until you get 100%. For awhile, this is fun, but it turns into a trial and error game and a game of memory, where you have to ask the right sequence of questions in the right order to get the right answer and tell the girls in a specific order what you know. It becomes frustrating, difficult, and boring quickly.

At first, I loved this game, but now I loathe it. I returned it and am glad I did, for there was nothing in it at all. This dating sims seems cool, but Sprung could have been way better... too bad! I really don't recommend this game to anyone... I don't know anyone who would enjoy it, except maybe as a rental for someone looking for some risque dialogue or something though, other than that, stay away! It has mediocre sound, and almost no real interaction beyond picking the phrases to say next. This is just downright a bad game!
