Princess Maker 2 She became the General of the Kingdoms Army. Not bad for my first time around I guess. Now, I dunno why, but this game is kinda addictive, so I've been playing it off and on for the past 2 years, and I have had some interesting results: She became a Fighting Instructor once, and married a Knight.. she seems to like Knights. She became a Bounty Hunter one time.. but I wonder what kind of bounty she was hunting anyways. What kinda bounty hunter wears red undies? She became a Hero once. Yes. A Super Hero. A MAGIC Super hero. Believe it or not, there is also a warrior super hero profession she can become. She became a Mason once. It was pretty boring. She married a Mason too and had little Mason kids. Now, don't get me wrong, its fun to see how good you can make her, but its also fun to see how BAD you can make her. Let me tell you, you can make her pretty bad. Here's some examples: Bar HO! Yes, she can become a bar ho! yay! Royal HO! Technically a Royal Concubine, but still a ho nonetheless. rich HO! She had an affair with a rich dude, who apparently has an affinity for barrels of soapy water. Don't mind those censors, there is NO nudity in the game, it's just close. I didn't make the pic, so there ya go. She was a Cabaret Dancer once.. not too bad I guess. Here's a big one: Divorcee! What big aspirations, Princess. "I wanna be a divorcee when I grow up!" is that even a profession? Now, this isn't really a bad profession, but it's funny. She became a baby maker! Yep, she just goes around shootin out kids and taking care of them. Though, its less cool to say "nursemaid". Okay, now we get into the REALLY bad professions: Bondage Queen! Your Princess administers discipline in bars and taverns! She even kills a guy. High Class Prostitute: a ho for rich people. Normal Prostitute: a ho for everyone. She became a Crime Boss once. Sadly, she never married. The PRINCESS OF DARKNESS. Yeah, remember that guy you killed at the first of the game to save the kingdom? He was the Prince of Darkness. You have to make her reeeeely evil to get this one. And that's just a sampling. Theres probably 50 different endings you can come up with. The bottom line: Princess Maker 2 is a great game, and if you're into the sims, or you're into RPG's or into both, you'll probably like it. Pros: - So many stats you can't keep track of them in your head. - So many endings that you can't neccessarily purposefully get the one you are looking for. - Good choice of school classes and jobs breaks up the tedium. - A variety of sub-quests and secrets to unlock. - Your princesses appearance changes with age. Cons: - Dated, it's a DOS game. It'll run on Win XP, but without sound. you can still play the music with winamp though. - Sprites aren't detailed. In the combat sequences, or any sequence with side-scrolling action your princess looks like she is 10, even if shes 17. - Measurements are in centimeters. - Japanese definitions of "attractive" my 5'7" daughter had to be 91 pounds before she was considered "attractive" That's just crazy. - Princess appearance does not change wether she is a fat hunchback or a supermodel, she always looks the same. Tech limitation of the era. - Lack of variety of random events. Most of them are "I challenge you to a duel" or "the princess was naughty and bought this useless item from the pawn shop" I hope that one day, someone makes this game with present-day technology.. with 3d graphics and even more variety of events. |
