Sprung a game where everyone scores free

They're drawn two dimensional and, for lack of a better analogy, stay that way for the duration of the game. But hey, what did you expect? The right answer should of course be "not bloody much" as anything more than that is going to end in disappointment. Take for example the dating genre's reliance on text as a means of conveying progress read: action , then look at how Sprung chooses to present players with a bland, at times banal story, often free from wit and the niceties of humor.

It's a dull, drawn out adventure played through a series of basic dialogue trees that leave little to no room for branching paths and or mistakes. That a single bad response to any given situation can lead to the dreaded game over screen is infuriating enough, that you're then forced to play through the very same conversation only to choose the right answer is downright annoying.

And that's a point further compounded by Sprung's lack of timely check points, often appearing totally at random and at the most inopportune of moments. OK, so maybe it's just me, but when I'm trying to charm the pants off three successive women in a row, I'd really appreciate a little back-up if you know what I mean Still, even when a dating simulator that's flirting sim! The beautifully detailed portraits commonly associated with the genre's best are nowhere to be found, in their place a series of atypical Western designs serve to keep players further at bay.

With an emphasis placed on thick black outlines and realistic facial features, Sprung is every bit as ugly as an 80's cartoon, and a distinct reminder of why styles evolve. But that then raises my next point There's little doubt in my mind that teens will find the action too sanitized while 20 somethings are likely to bemoan the lack of actual pink flesh.

Say, anyone interested yet? If you've listened to anything I've had to say thus far, you'll hopefully be wanting to stay as far away from Sprung as humanly possible. There's not much love to be found here, and as fitting as that may be for a flirting simulator, it's always a disappointment when a company like UBI Soft makes such an erroneous mis-step. In a rather progressive move, you can choose to be either the guy, Brett, or the girl, Becky. Brett has a longtime crush on Becky and is trying to move out of the friend zone.

Meanwhile, Becky is trying to get over a failed relationship by finding some hunks to snog. The tropes are well worn and not inherently terrible, but Sprung fails massively for two major reasons. The writing, as one might imagine, is atrocious.
