"A More "INTENSE" Version of Tokimeki Memorial"

Well for all you people that bought/planning to buy this game X CHANGE if you are familiar with the series by KONAMI called ''Tokimeki Memorial'' its something like that. If you are wondering what TM (Tokimeki Memorial)is its kind of like THE SIMS if it were in the us. so its simply a dating simulation game. If i tell you the story it will pretty much spoil the game so i wont tell you. But once you pop the X CHANGE CD-ROM in you cd drive you will find out soon enough what this game is about.

All you anime lovers might want to check this game out because all the art work is in anime style. They are all high quality too! Like for example some scenes in the game would have the characters actually moving for a seccond like a little flash movie clip (I say flash but it really looks well done).

The Thumbs UP about this game is that...
1.well you can save anywhere you want! Unlike other games where you have to acutally go to a save point just to save your game, and if you have to go somewhere its no problem because you just click the SAVE button on the screen to save your game data.

2.There a LOT of save slots, so much that i couldnt count them all! So if you are sharing computeres with brothers or sisters or friends, you won't have to worry a bit about getting your data erased because there are plenty of rooms to save on.

3.You actually get this feeling that you are actually THE character in the game as you play it for a certian amount of time. For example when I played this game for about an hour and i actually felt that I was the character inside of this game!.

4.There is a high replay value, why? Because you get to have multiple endings on how/what kind of desicions you choose throughout the game. That will make you want to go back and do some more dating sim with X CHANGE!

5.There is a MEMORY MODE,MM(MEMORY MODE) is when you want to look at a certian scene again in the game. You will get to see those high quality art in memory mode again!

The Thumbs DOWN about this game...

1.Well The BGM can get annoying if you are a kind of guy that likes to play games for a VERY long time. But don't worry you can turn that annoying BGM off by going to the option menu.

2.Well this would be for all the people that don't like reading. You guys might hate this game because there is TONS and TONS of dialouge that you will have to read in order to play this game. If you skip all the dialouge you will not know what to do when choices comes up. So thats thumbs down for all you anti readers.

3.There is no spoken Dialouge what so ever! OH NO~~ well your going to have to imagine what they would sound like in you head (as if your reading a book).

4.Some parts of the game they would recycle images so some images would get old sometimes.

5.Some events would get old in this game.. You will know what I mean when you play (I cant say this here due to moderation,ETC.)

Well here are some overalls

Controls 9 They controls are really easy, but they could add more convenient commands.

Sound 5 They have high quality BGM in this game but like I said earlier they get really old fast.

Graphics 7 The staff really did a good job on drawing the art. But they could of added more to the game so the images dont get old.

Gameplay 6 Like I said this is a dating simulation game, you won't like it if you don't like women (for some reasons).

Overall I give this game a 8 because it gets you hooked on to the game for a while, when you realize its already 8pm! (started playing at 4pm). For all you single men you will kinda get how it is when you date people ETC (again I cant say this here.)
As always this is a typical Peach Princess game but a pretty good one. Well people have fun with this game.
