The problem? His uncle thinks he's a fantastic fit for the cause. In truth, Shinjiro thought himself the latest recruit into the robo-slugging ranks of plenty of hometown heroes that came before him. Even if he isn't exactly welcomed with open arms. The transplant isn't just a swapping of locales, though leading man Shinjiro Taiga has had to hop a trans-pacific flight of his own to arrive in the Big Apple and he serves as an apt foil for the series' move to a decidedly more familiar home base. Fittingly, the English version of things, "So Long, My Love" is based in the States - New York, if you like all that precision stuff.
The Sakura Taisen games somehow managed to blend a strategy combat game with the dating/relationship model for more than a decade, but until 2005's Sakura Taisen V, subtitiled "Farewell, My Love," things had found their home base in Japan. A bit of explanation is probably important here. Remember, this is a two-fer - a game that melds two genres one wouldn't normally see linked.

In truth, it was probably a good hour and a half of wiggling my way through an admittedly punchy series of decide-on-the-fly actions while just trying to acclimate to the game's host of characters before I even got to the second half of the gameplay equation. See, here's the thing: Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love is not what you'd call a "breezy" game.

I fired up the PS3 debug, hugged it, and quickly went to work digging into the first officially translated take on mechs 'n' babes. Most of us loving the current generation have moved on, but it's rather clear that the PS2 isn't quite out of "oomph." Granted, this may truly be the last game of interest on the system, but even if you've moved on, NISA has generously decided to embrace the Wii too, so you don't have to step back to 2000's hardware just to play the game.
I've personally said that more times than I care to admit the PS2 is unkillable, operating in zombie mode with such vigor that it actually managed to sell more than three hundred thousand systems last month.
