Sakura Wars 3 -Is Paris Burning?-

Nothing, really... I cleared the game this evening. Actually, I got and played this game in Dreamcast version, which was released in 2001, but recently it got it for the PS2 version. It was released in Feb 2005, well, not recently though... It just I was carried away with another game (mostly Tales of Rebirth). This is my first Sakura Wars game, even I know the title from the famous anime....

This is Hanabi, which is the most charmed character... (it's my taste, so what? :P)
I like when she blush and say "...oh" in the end of her speeches(…ぽっ in japanese). Well, she blush quite a lot.... (^^; 萌え～
*About the title: "Is Paris Burning?" is the last mission codename.

Sakura Wars 3 world is taking part in Paris... yes, not Tokyo, but Paris! The maincast is Ogami Ichiro; as the captain of secret organisation with totally different from previous members named "Paris Attack Force/Flower team"(Paris Kageki-dan/Hana-gumi). FYI, previous Sakura Wars was "Imperial Attack Force/Flower team"(...funny when translated tho ^^;). They fight evil spirits... (well, like most anime do). The battle happening around the famous landmarks of the Paris ...which is like a virtual tour to me.

So, what's so great about SakuraWars 3, anyway? Well, the game itself like a running drama, (it actually have a preview of next story too!), it has mostly speeched scripts, simple but fun (and many) mini-games, original and nice battle system! It has a mini game called Casino Wars in it! lol! Whats cool is, I knowing poker and blackjack with betting system from the mini game!
The quality of the arts and movies are surprisingly high. I'll upload some cool in-game captures after I get my equipments back... Btw, the characters are designed by the famous Fujishima Kosuke. (Ah! My Goodess, You're Under Arrest, Tales of Phantasia... etc)
I like the world settings and mechanics involved. The thing I most excited about is the Revolver Cannon (actually its a 6-shots Kobu launcher) come out from the 'Arc de Triumph!

The game overal is pretty easy, relaxing and less-stress to play.
People who are new for this kind of game might found its quite boring, but if you're not into it, find another game! Simple as that! haha :P

The OVA of this game is released, I hope there are fansubs for the anime... well, actually I can just watch the japanese raw vid tho... maybe I could see Hanabi in action.. nah, maybe not...
Too bad the anime quality is not high as the game does. :T
