KimiKiss (ebKore+)

Unlike visual novels, in this one you select from a whole array of questions to ask the girls using the picture=question items and change them day to day. Some of the responses the girls give will have you laughing out loud. I waited too long to order this for my ntsj-ps2 and it works perfectly on the Ps2. I cannot read a word of the text and still enjoy it.

Definitely a quality dating sim game, and clearly knows what to do right. Chances are, if you liked what most other games did right, then this is the one for you. The scenarios are fun, the music is catching and the art is excellent. The heroines are developed well, and are very much likely to get you with their own little quirks. If you also happen to understand Japanese, then you will be sure to enjoy the storylines in the various routes.

Kimi Kiss seemed like an interesting title, and I even watch a demo of it, but when I played it on the first day, I was already frustrated. This game has one huge letdown if you're going to play this on the PS3. For some odd reason, if played on the PS3, this game freezes very frequently (most cases it's not the actual game that freezes but the cursor, so you're not able to proceed anyways). And because of that, I had a hard time finishing the game (which makes things even more frustrating with how short it is, as you only have one month to complete the route you want, where other similar games are usually one academic year). The gameplay is rather unique as in order to proceed with whichever girl, you need to choose the right topics to talk with her whenever there's an encounter at school. Most of the time though, it's frustrating because one topic can be effective one day and useless in another (not to mention, their replies are usually repeated). Storyline is of a typical romantic highschool setting, so don't expect any twists or whatever. Other than that, it's an OK game but I wouldn't really recommend to buy this game as there are other better titles.

This is a very good love sim game that treads the well worn path that other games in the same genre has ventured down. But don't let that turn you off from the game. The graphics are very appealing, the voice acting is great, the character designs very nice, the music is very good, and all of the girl's that appear in the game have their own charm. Having at least a fair grasp of spoken and written(text) Japanese will help you enjoy this game to its fullest. Randomly selecting choices and all is fine, but actually understanding more of what is being said and going on makes the experience that much more enjoyable. Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend this game to any love sim game fans.
