Downloadable game review: Summer Session, by Tycoon Games

by Nihal Shetty

Summer Sessions rating score would be: 4/5

Summer Session is a dating game which revolves around one boy(Julius) and in the summer. You have to win a girls heart but each girl is different and likes something else. You could lift weights all day and win some girls heart as well. There is a deadline as well. You have to finish the end of year Exam, and 'love' by the end of summer.

The gameplay is similar to any other dating game in the field. It follows the same pattern such as you have to balance schoolwork and love life so you can get the girl and pass your exams. Both of thease goals are important as if you don't pass your exams, you can get the girl at all. What makes the gameplay interesting however is the various options given to you.

The graphics are good for a 2-d game. The graphics are same as of another dating game as well. Nothing special about the graphics except perhaps some of the girls pictures are good. The pictures have a better clarity than most dating games but the buildings and the stationary items are very blurred.

The sound of the game is based only on one piece of music. This piece of music is romantic and keeps playing on for ever throughout the entire game. If there was a change of music perhaps, then the chances of someone playing the game again would definitely increase. The one of music is good though although it is on its own.

There is not much creativty in this game as it is very similar to other dating games on the net. The only difference or creative parts are that its a summer dating game. Unlike other games, you can get the secret admirer, a girl you like or even your own teacher! Also, you have to face competition for the girls as well. This is a good aspect as now to get the girl you have to get the other guy off. This is makes the game much more challenging as well. finally, if you make friends, they teach you a certain skill is very creative This helps you to get the girl and encourages having good relations with people in the game.

I did have fun playing the game but some aspects such as sounds need to be improved so i think 4/5 was a good rating from my side. I would definitely play it again and again so i could get all the girls!
