Some Iffy Humor And Frustrations Bring Down This Otherwise Great First Photo Snapping Game
This review is for the TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine version

Preliminary: This is... very strange lol. The Look is absolutely beautiful, I love the PC Engine's aesthetic since its inception. This is like uh Pokemon Snap if it had platforming elements? The platforming and action elements aren't great, I don't like how there is an invisible wall on the right side of the screen, but it's oddly addicting like Pokemon Snap was. And it's peculiar. I am not big into the "get a photo of this person exposing themself 'humor'" etc, but it's still always something I've liked in games where you try to anticipate the best moment to snap a photo etc. I will get a fan translated version and play it enogh to see if it warrants a 3 or even 4 star, but the Look and photo-snapping Play alone likely do so!

Well yea it's gonna have to settle for a 3 star. I was really excited to get to level 2 and see if the tune/Look changes, but he kept saying I didn't get a photo of the flying car (I most certainly did... exploiting a savestate on my 3rd try lol).

Basically for each level it seems you ahve to get a minimum score and get a photo of a certain thing, which almost requires at least 2 tries for each level since you have to figure out where it is first and it only shows for a second. Neat idea though, and it carries into later games in this genre!
