Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward Reviews

So far this "Epic Visual Novel/Choose Your Own Adventure" game has recieved a 90 from EGM, 88 from GameInformer and a 9.5 from IGN.

I was really thinking this game was gonna be a mixed meta score but so far i'm wrong. Anyone thinking of picking it up because of the high scores?

Idk, I liked the first one when I had it, but it took too much work to figure out how to complete.

I tried the demo of this new one, but it seemed too far-fetched, much moreso than the first one did.

I mean... There's a big guy in body armor, there's a rabbit doll talking to them, the egyptian chick has even less coverage on her chest but somehow that ring stays in place...

Idk, just seems much more unrealistic, while I felt like the first one maintained a better sense of storytelling.

Played the demo and really enjoyed it. Want to get it eventually, just dont have the time or money right now

I still need to play the first game in the series.

On the PS Blog post for the game, Aksys' Director of Productions was answering just about everyone's questions, and from the sounds of it, you'll appreciate this game more if you're played the previous one.

But just to tell you, I played the demo, and it was about the worst piece of gaming I've played in a long time.

Though the story and characters played a big part, I'm inclined to think that it's the controls that are the real culprit. You'd think touch controls would be better, but the view controls are inverted and oversensitive even using touch.

This is an off topic question but I heard in other forum that this game cost $35 for a Digital copy, [too expensive]
Is it true?

Yeah it 35 dollars on PSN, it retails at 40 though.Kaze_no_Mirai

why the prize is like that? $35 then retail is $40?

Now only if they would bring more visual novels over... *looks at "Little Busters!" and cries*

I don't know if it's even coming out in Australia.

I'd rather choose retail copy rather than the digital one coz there's no difference lol its kind a unfair with the digital buyers. Anyone knows what's so called expecial for digital copy?

I've already explained this in my above post. Sony's cut of the money is larger (cut store retailers out of the equation), and the cost of manufacturing a cartridge and case is eliminated.

It's pretty fair, I'd say. If you want a game case to display, you've got to be willing to pay for it. The only thing unfair is the outrageous cost of memory cards.

Are you sure you haven't confused the prices? Retail usually more expensive than digital, and what's special about retail is that you get a physical case and game card. Those cost more.

This game may not have many reviews yet but it is the top VITA game on Metacritic.

I got it a few days ago, but I haven't played it yet. I'll get to it eventually. I loved 999, so I'm sure I'll love this one as well.
