Dream C Club gets low score of 24/40 on Famitsu
It’s “get your early leaked issue of Famitsu” day and it has been revealed that the Dream C Club for the Xbox 360 has gotten a 6/6/6/6 review by Famitsu.
6/10
Their expressions and gestures are really nice and help to lift your spirits, but, there aren’t many patterns to what they can do, so if an event happens and you don’t make any progress they’ll just repeat the same things over and over again. The karaoke was enjoyable at first but there’s no variation. On the whole it feels like the game lacks the extra step to make it special. It’s also a pity about the large amount of content you can’t get without connecting to the internet and the large amounts of loading in the game.6/10
There isn’t much variation in the conversations and the character’s movements, the game just feels like you’re repeating the same thing over and over again just to raise the character flags. But, they have definitely put a lot of effort into making cute girls, and because of this there are a lot of faults that can be forgiven. However I feel that there’s a problem with the game where they force auto-save on the game when it’s so hard to meet the requirements to raise character flags.6/10
The girls’ gestures and movements are really cute and the atmosphere of the shop is good. But when the player doesn’t know the requirements needed to activate certain events, the player will often find himself repeating the same conversation over and over again. I’m slightly concerned about the lack of variation in the ways you can earn money, the variation of the types of snacks available, and the the long loading times.6/10
They’ve really built a pretty good atmosphere with the frequent character movements and the slight changes between before and after they’re drunk. But the lack of variation in the character’s actions and how the event conversations can contradict what happens in normal conversations affect the enjoyment of the game. Stress builds up as the decisions you have to make in the game are not obvious and the load times are slightly long. We can probably expect the DLC to make up for the lack of costumes and songs in the game. What a pity.
However, “Famitsu Xbox360″ (different mag from Famitsu) has given the game a high review score of 8/9/7/8.
As a comparison, Idolmaster got 6/7/7/6, Idolmaster L4U got 7/8/7/6, Idolmaster SP got 7/8/8/8.
Also it costs 800 Microsoft points per character if you want to be able to have jyakigan girl or robot girl available right from the start without having to do some requirements to unlock them.
