It finally came in the mail today, so now I'm going to
brag talk about it. Rule of Rose is a survival horror game a bit like Silent Hill, in that the horror is less 'waves of zOMGies' and more 'oh god what was that sound/vague movement/sense of something THERE just now?'
Also, there is a cute doggie. <=3
- Spoiler:
Said doggie is later beaten to death brutally, but hey, THERE'S A DOGGIE FOR THE MOST PART =D
Rated M for:
Blood. ...lulz. There really isn't that much of it, in comparison to SOME games...
Intense violence. More lulz because the cast is mostly little girls.
Suggestive themes. The plot is basically one big parade of symbolism, and a lot of that symbolism is... creepy. What would you expect from a horror game? Oh, and...
- Spoiler:
The alleged lesbianism got it banned in Europe, I think. Or at least not sold.
And any horror game worth its salt has that rating, anyway.
I don't really know what to say, other than: Damn, this game is fun. And the dog kicks ass. And oh god what the fuck is wrong with the enemies AAAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGHHH
