I'd give it a 1 star but i actually used to almost enjoy this game,
Guess ill start with the most talked about flaw, the Art. at the beginning the art was average ish but at least the characters were somewhat decent looking, i feel the artist was going for a more down to earth style where all the girls aren't bimbo super models but a little while into the game nearly all the character models change to a new style (not sure if this has changed to all new art or not as i played an earlier version when the art was about 50/50 new/old) for me that was a huge mistake as i was left wondering who theses new character are and would often have to read the names to remember who im talking too in game. also the change in art was horrible IMO as most characters got significantly uglier and they weren't 10s to start.
But setting aside the art, even the playability of the game is frustrating at best unless you dump loads of time just going everywhere everyday hoping to trigger an event then progressing the story was nigh impossible. also the whole Forest portion feels like a HUGE waste of time with its fetch-em quests and the pong level volleyball minigame had virtually no point. As a whole, having a character to walk around the main map seems to detract from the playability and just waste time. having said all that i feel the writing is OK, nothing special but i did start to moderately enjoy some parts of the story and getting to know some of the characters (before i was met with entirely different models) all in all just a frustrating game.
