I just got a bunch of stuff from my friend becuase she doesn't really need it anymore. There is this one interactive DVD called Hourglass of Summer that she gave me that I'm really hooked on. It's basically about a high school boy named Makimura Kotaro who one day slips out of time and winds up in the future at the opening ceremony of his school, but things are different. The principal usually give a short story at the ceremony, but it's unusually long that day. In his confusion, Kotaro manages to hear that the girl he had been fawning over before the summer break died in an accident. So it's up to him (you) to find out what happened and how to stop the awful incident from occurring.
I think it's one of those games that was made for guys who like to see their ideal girl because there are very few guys in it and a lot of very pretty girls. Still, I've been hooked just hearing the way that Kotaro respond to each situation you put him through. There were some pretty tough choices I had to make and at first, I came up with the bad ending, but after going through it again and correcting the mistakes I made, I got a better ending. This DVD/Game is very interesting, but also very long, so if you plan to play it, be prepared to set aside the whole day for it (Or leave your PS2 running all night). That is beacuse there is no way to save your progress or even go back to the scene you were previously at. Still, if you're willing to take the risk, I'd give this interactive DVD a 9 out of 10.
I can't say I know where my friend got it, or how much it costs, but I'm sure you could order it online if you wanted to. I could do more research if anyone was interested. Here's a picture of the cover:
I'd like to find more games/DVDs like this. It's very cute. =^^= If anyone knows of anything like that, send me a pm. I'd be very appreciative.
