Private Nurse

"A nurse sent from "Heaven" to take care of you! How can you resist her?"

Now, I finally found a hentai game, which gives a very great impression, great storyline, great CG and Graphics, great music, and emotionally, you'll feel very bad after playing this game, because it makes you go with the game's mood!

Now you know this is a hentai game, note that 18 years old and older players are only allowed to play this game, but you would probably ignore this message don't you?

Developed by Angel Smile, this game is a full-enjoyable romance h-game. Although I love other romance games such as Natsuiro no Sunadokai, and Air, but this game adds another ''one-of-my-favorite Anime game'' lists. And their execution really hooked me up! And I love this game!

Game titles sometimes made you mistook this game as something really dirty....But it doesn't. And storyline will touch your emotions, and it's no joke. I feel really bad after playing this game after watched the Best Ending of the game, and I felt something missing at my heart. Don't believe me, go ahead with the review.....

STORYLINE
Storyline revolves around 2 students and one Nurse.....You play the role as Hiroki Rikkido. Recently he is weak and always sick, would rather say, weak in constitution. You basically can't attend any sports activities, and always faint and end up sleeping at the Nurse room. So your mother hired a ''Private Nurse'', a mysterious nurse (really mysterious) which is trained by a secret organization to take care of one and only specific patients for a month, which is in the contract. Hiroki get pissed off, and tried to make the Nurse, named Maria, move away since he scare of his private life been taken away, and medicines. But knowing Maria won't leave no matter what, Hiroki decide to gave her a one weak trial, If Hiroki gets better within a week under Maria's care. Hiroki will then accepts her nursing for a month. Now, the story begins, and your childhood friend, Ayano, watches Hiroki with mixed feelings. (This is been said in the manual)

However, as story goes, you will get hooked up by the story, and I guarantee you, the story development and setting is very accurately arranged, from how you start the story from such a weak character, how you spend your sick lifetime, how Ayano first taking care of you, how you met Maria, to the deeper and deeper storyline. This is well done job, no signs of rushing work, and every single detail of the story with one characters perspective is shown (you sometimes play the game in Maria, and Ayano's perspective, too)

However, it is greatly done, enough to give a good impression to play the game

CG GRAPHIC, ARTWORK AND CHARACTER DESIGNS
I must said the works are very well done here, Bishoujo and Bishounen art style is applied here, but the artwork is really great! Those artwork is probably better than Air! Proportion is well done, facial expression is greatly done according to mood, artworks done by pencil is also shown as one of the CG scene, and you give the hell a lot of effort to unlock it, there are many CG scene to unlock, very well done at artwork media chosen (pencil draw, they are great!)

As for Character designs, quite great in development in impression and looks, but need quite an improvement on setting of personality, Maria looks very alike to Belldandy from Ah! My Goddess. She's too gentle for you to handle....Others I have no complain, but overall the designs are great, character designs suits the personality setting of the character. And I really love the costumes, Maria's nurse costume is very greatly design, suitable to nature (it's green in color). Other characters costume designs looks great too. Overall the CG Graphic, Artwork,and Character Designs gave me a very good impression to gamers, You should pick it up if you have chance.

MUSIC and VOICE ACTING
Not very great in composition, but it does gave a great mood in certain scene where the songs played accordingly to the mood of the game.

You won't get annoyed, those songs were very calm and peaceful (most songs are in Piano), and the main theme is quite nice to hear on. But there is a weakness, most of the scene play almost the same songs over and over again. So you would feel boring....Listen to songs which is at the music section of the game title ''Memories''. Variety of songs can be listen over there.

But strangely, you would feel calm and peaceful while playing this game, and oddly enough, you won't get bored, but it's just for my opinion.....

Voice Acting is wonderful, too bad there is no Voice Acting for Hiroki, as a main character. Despite Maria been very gentle and famine, her voice is energetic! Ayano sound suitable for a playful high-school student. Maria sounds like : gentle when she is shy, energetic when she is working, etc. And those voice even applied when THOSE scene played! Maria's moaning! but that doesn't mean anything, mind you! (Ayano? Other characters? Yeah, they sounds great, but I prefer Maria's ''voices'' when ''those'' scene played)

GAMEPLAY

As many hentai games had to offer, this is a text graphic adventure game, so, yeah, it's a click click click to finish the game type of gameplay, But it doesn't matter, since it's linear enough to get an ending very simply. You would get used to it if playing too much of those games (exclude Mad Paradox, True Love and Maid's Story)

Controls were ok, and simple. You are just required to use your mouse, and that's it. Left click for text skipping, and right click to bring up menu.

For difficulty, it's not hard to get the ''best'' ending since you only need common sense, isn't it?

Since this game is a multi ending game, play more to unlock certain characters ending! Well worth it if you want to unlock those hell a lot of CG scenes. That's how Replay score quite a certain marks in it!

Marks given : 6

OVERALL

Pay some bucks to buy this game (RM10 for the Malaysian currency), don't feel shy to buy this game. It's good, and it's worth your money to play it. Honestly, I still prefer True Love for gameplay and fun. But Private Nurse doesn't disappoint Hentai game fans around!

Should I go for it? Why bother asking? One word, YES! and add in ''It's worth it!''
