Girl Gamer

I love Anime and Manga, but I’ve drawn it more than actually watched or read the genres, I’m afraid. I couldn’t hold much of an intelligent conversation with even a mediocre fan unless it’s about Gunsmith Cats or any Miyasaki film. It’s a different world, for sure, so if you’re used to playing the American genre of video games, keep that in mind before jumping into Japanese madness. You’ll either love it to pieces or hate it to death.

Suguri Perfect Edition comes with the original game, Suguri, Acceleration of Suguri and X-Edition Expansion Pack. The Expansion offers even more to the story line, as well as characters. The game also comes with two complete soundtracks: Trancenation of Suguri OST and Acceleration of Suguri OST – both are crazy awesome techno, while keeping that old-school arcade feel that gets your thumbs twitchin’ for action.

The music rocks, the fighting is fast-paced and the stories are mildly entertaining, ranging from vendettas to robots and a villain who just wants to rest his head on some girl’s knees. There are no cut scenes, just a slide show of the characters with subtitles – so hope you like reading.

Each character offers their own unique style of weapons and don’t forget your Special Weapon, great for finishing off an opponent and turning the tides on an otherwise disastrous battle.

Although the genre of Suguri is not exactly my cup of tea, I found this game to be surprisingly enjoyable. You can lose track of time button-mashing and the experience takes me back to childhood afternoons at the arcade. The silly story lines also gave me a few chuckles along the way. :-)

Overall, I’d say that Suguri is worth a try for anyone who likes arcade-style fights, techno music and Manga. If that combination makes you an awesomesauce sandwich, then Suguri is for you!
