		I just watched a nice video clip of the upcoming XBox port. I was wondering if anybody has played much of the original DC game. Is the language barrier a problem at all? How's the actual gameplay/controls?

		Reviews in my GMR mag say its a bad port because of its outdated graphics. They said it should stay in japan where they like strange games like this. But, i'm glad there bringing it over. I would like to play it.

From the looks of it, the gameplay looks quite fun The graphics aren't the greatest -- even for the DC, but as we all know, graphics don't make the game

So I'm not thinking it's gonna be worth picking up the DC version I'll just wait til someday I play the XBox version

		stack99	Aug 8, 2003
		sadly no, (but on another note I got some of those speak japanese computer training things, so soon I might). but anyway, I collect DC shit, so I need this... sweet. :lol:

		That game looks humerous, worth a rent (*sigh*, pun NOT intended) or maybe even a pickup from a bargain bin... I remember seeing this on a Japanese best selling list long ago and looked up a few reviews for this game. I remember a game I wanted to try was some roomate game for the dc, it was another crazy Japanese game, you pretty much just watch a guy live his life in his apartment and can only do little things like read his diary and move stuff around - you can make his day miserable by misplacing all the things in his apartment :lol: How can that not be a great game? ---Ammut

		I played through it, if you have any questions. Kind of humoristic Shenmue, very close to the MD version.

		stack99	Aug 9, 2003
		I am currently eyeing a cheap copy on ebay.. hope I win, thanks how did you like it after getting all the way through?

		CHAZumaru °_°	Aug 10, 2003
		Really fun, but pretty hard to understand all the puns. I would say it's impossible to play/enjoy/finish it without any knowledge of japanese.

		stack99	Aug 10, 2003
		hmmm thanks.. I am gonna get me a copy.. wooooooooooooo hoooooooooo do you know if there is a translation out there?

		CHAZumaru °_°	Aug 10, 2003
		I don't know, sorry. I use this kind of games to practice my japanese.

		stack99	Aug 11, 2003
		oh, ok thanks... appreciate the help. :cheers
