 "BORING-----No REAL choices, one path game" | 2009-09-20 |
| - Reviewed By Lady of the Lake from Litchfield County, CT, USA |
| So disappointed that while it seems like there are some interesting choices to make the characters interact, if you pick the 'wrong' choice (according to the programmers) the scene will end and your only choice is to replay it many, many times until you find the right combination of responses to unlock your path to the next scene. So boring.... not open-ended at all. I don't even care if these people date or not, hook up or party or whatever else they're doing because I've already left this game WAY behind. |

| Sprung is a great game, it's kind of like choose your own adventure, but you have to get it right. It's a relationship game where you can choose to be a guy or a girl. I thought it was fun. |

 "An adult game for the DS" | 2008-08-24 |

Sprung is akin to the Sims dating. It is menu driven, that means the computer gives you three choices to speak to the characters.
The object of the game is flirt thru 50 dating missions on your way to score. They rate this for teens, but i feel it is an adult game.
I will say this, it fills a void..since the DS dont have a version of Leisure Suit Larry ( here is the version for the PC Leisure Suit Larry Collection). I was talking to a friend of mine who is up on his computer games. He told me and I quote "Maybe in a year or two there will a Leisure Suit Larry on DS and PSP)..well I can hope
This one will have to do until Larry is released

| This was one of my first three NDS games, and when I read about it and ordered it, and it finally came to my door I was loaded with anticipation and a desire to play this game. Okay, after about 20 scenes, this game makes me wanna take a nap. Not like I thought it'd be at all. Very boring to me and hopefully I can trade it off to one of my friends for a game that could be way better than this. |

 "Very enjoyable." | 2007-11-16 |

When I first wanted the Nintendo DS I intended to get Nintendogs and branch of from there. Well my sister ended up buying this game along with another. I played Sprung and could barely put it down. It was around $10 in a store and there were multiple copies lying around. Anyways, I was surprised to receive this game for Christmas and even more surprised that I played it and beat it shortly after.
I'm not a big fan of dating sims but this game definitely kept me entertained. You can play as two characters (male or female) who end up going on a trip together and searching for love. You choose from multiple choices to answer depending on scenarios and either get a good response or a bad one from the person you're chatting with.
I liked the art style in the game, the music was tolerable, and the story was realistic enough to keep me interested. It also has a good amount of replay-ability since there are some things to unlock.
I'd recommend this game, but only if you find it for around $10 dollars. It's a good way to waste some time if you're up for it. |

| "A failed attempt to Americanize a dating sim" | 2007-09-27 |

I'm sure some of you have played an online, anime-based dating sim before. A bunch of them are great, albeit weird.
I got this when DS first came out (so there were only a handful of decent games) and it was o.k. It's a very straight forward concept with an extremely shallow overtone. Sure, it's a dating sim, but the objective is clear: they wanted to appeal to a larger American demographic by making it like some rich kid MTV 'reality' show.
The gameplay (if you wish to call it such) is linear and there is very little room for movement. Sure there are alternate endings, but they have very subtle differences. Sound is okay; it's very generic and over time very unbearable.
The restricted nature, low replay value, and poor story line makes this game barely passable if you're a dating sim fan, and I'd assume less so if you weren't. It is relatively short, and aside from using a whopping two characters, not really worth another go (unless you missed stuff and wanted to get a better ending). Also, the simple pictures (while drawn pretty well) are just stills that really don't add much to its interactivity. |
