So, I beat Shin Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, which was distinctly average in my opinion. Devil May Cry, it ain't, and I seriously don't know whose bright idea it was to have flying enemies that you really couldn't reach barring luck until they decided to come down.
But now that I've packed that one away, it's time for Sakura Taisen 3. Man, I remember the first SakuTai was the first game I played in Japanese, and I had to rely on a translated script for that one. I remember obsessively writing down every last word I didn't know, and man there were a lot. Heck, there are still words I'm looking up in this one, but at least I don't feel totally illiterate. I'm still writing them all down.
I'll be danged if this game doesn't remind me of Im@s though. It's got singing and dancing, a brown-haired klutz of a main heroine, and a superior who kinda talks like Shachou. Even the voice actor of Kuroi voices a character in this series, and yes, he's creepy here too. I guess the only difference is that there's robots and fighting.
...
Oh, wait. That's not really a difference anymore, is it? I knew there was a reason I liked Idolm@ster. ^^
