[PS2] Rule of Rose - A survivor horror fairy tale.

I don't even play horror games and I was really looking forward to this one. It looks to be really similar to Haunting Ground. What's so bad about the gameplay? If you were looking for action then you're not going to get it... but is it the lack of action or is there some and it's just really poorly done? I don't mind a game being easy, I just don't want it to be tedious or stupid.

After seeing the trailer at E3, I wanted to play it just to see what it's like. I own one of the RE games and Silent Hill but I never touched them.

Plus it's Atlus, I like supporting guys like Atlus. Although I wasn't too crazy about Metal Saga or Steambot Chronicles.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Ok that first boss fight is hard. I only tried it once since I was too lazy to go back and save. You guys were right, the fight system is pretty awful and the camera angle doesn't help at all. It's even worse when you're low on health and Jennifer ends up sluggish.

Besides that, it's an interesting game. Nice mood and atmosphere, the cut scenes are great. The story is interesting at least.

edit: ok, I've finished the game, has anyone else with a japanese copy have been able to?

Spoiler:

I'm a little confused by the ending.... what is the relation between Jennifer and Joshua? They seem like they are the same person.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Then Wendy came along and start manipulating to get Jennifer to like her and to control Gregory and basically stirring up shit., which end up creating the Aristocrat club and everything, and killing all the children through her control over Gregory.

Well, if you could explain the ending to me, that'd be great

Spoiler:

Where did you get all that? I thought about the ending for awhile, I knew there were some jealousy issues with Wendy, how there were letters between her and Joshua and then her and Jennifer. She mentioned sending Jennifer to that place? And then we get the black and white scene with the dog? It seems like there is jealousy that is tied to Brown too... ahh, it was all so interesting and so confusing.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The game is from Atlus, I don't know if it'll ever make it to the bargain bin.

Anyways, there were a lot of articles about how risque the content was in regards to the girls. I don't know, I think a person needs to really stretch their imagination to think of it as sexual. I didn't find it all that disturbing in that sense. I just thought the girls were cruel in a twisted evil sort of way.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
