I’d had
been trying to get this game for years but every time it appeared in a
shop or Yahoo Auctions it went for silly money. Finally I found a copy
in a small independent game store for only 500 yen. Even at 500 yen it’s
a waste of money ! What I was expecting was loads of great X Japan music
but what I found was a boring as hell RPG. So God only knows why they
wrote "Music Entertainment" as the game's description on the case.
X Japan Virtual Shock is a fully FMV based RPG that has you playing the
part of a cameraman wondering around the back stage corridors of Tokyo
Dome. It’s up to you to find out where the band members are and shoot
some great shots.
I played this for 3 hours straight and not once did I get anything
remotely interesting. Yeah, I took a few shots of the band members
rehearsing or giving interviews now and then but the majority of the
time was spent wandering around back stage being told to piss off or
come back later. Also not once did I find anyplace to save my progress
meaning that once I had switched off the game I’d have to start again
from scratch.
Even for the X Japan fan I can’t see this title bringing much enjoyment.
Best bought for collecting purposes only or if you're a nut for colour
printed discs.
