Date Girl: Virtual Reality

The Good
The actress who plays Vida is pretty attractive. That, and it only takes about 5 minutes to play from beginning to end...

The Bad
Oh, boy. 1) The gameplay is virtually nonexistant- if you make a mistake, it either lets you keep choosing until you hit the right one, or a wrong choice can completely ruin the game. 2) The gameplay consists of pointing and clicking on really obvious parts of a picture, or buttons. There's no mystery, fun, or guesswork involved. 3) The only sound in the game is on the CD-ROM version, and all that does is play some redbook audio when you stick a CD in the player in the game. (Not only that, but you're given a choice of 5 albums, but are only allowed to pick one!) 4) There are gross misspellings and errors in grammar throughout the game (like all IGC programs.) 5) The "pay-off" is incredibly lame. While "Vida" does get nekkid- in some instances quite graphically- the end where you finally seduce her is represented by a silhouette of two people embracing and disappearing from a window. Whee!

The Bottom Line
Really pathetic. It's funny to run through once, but there is no replay value. There's nothing interesting for the porno fans out there, either, since despite Vida's graphic displays o' flesh, IGC seemed incredibly squeamish about actually showing a hint of sexuality on-screen.
