How did you get into Riviera?, ... Options

[levyjl1988]

I basically never heard of Riviera when it was on the wonder swan.. I went to gamespot and heard about good reviews for it but Nintendo gave it a 6.5 out of 10, outraged I trusted on gamespot.com review... I liked the way that:
1) It's an anime game
2) Japanese
3) I need a decent RPG to pass the time, Golden Sun or Boktai's art didn't catch my attention as this did.
4) Finally a unique battle system!
5) On the back it said sexual content, drug use, ESRB: Teen, and wow, I said to myself this is the game for me, as I've heard of bathing scenes and pervertedness... I'm glad I bought this game!
Although after 2 weeks after it's release I've been contacting EB Games, Walmart etc... if they had it.. anyway I bought it off amazon.ca because I couldn't wait and now I simply love it!

Although there are some quite a few drawbacks...
1) Training takes up time, but it helps in later events when confronting a monster...
2) You use the D pad to manuver only...
3) No multiplayer connection...
4) Quite linear...

Now the good points :)

1) Brief anime skin showing!
2) Selection of girls!
3) Humor of pervertedness
4) Extra Contents! This drew me into the game more, because there were extras and a face collection, the cgs are simply amazing!
5) You have a sense of accomplishment when you beat the game.
6) 6 Endings
7) Lots of replay value
8) It's so damn fun! I love Riviera!

When there was talk of Golden Sun Syndicate covering another game on the site (as Golden Sun is pretty old now, and there's never any updates anymore), several members suggested Riviera as another game to cover, and a lot of people agreed. Though this never happened, it piqued my interest, and I looked up everything I could about it. I was impressed, so I played the *coughromcough*, and then, after having confirmed the awesomeness of the game, I went out and bought it. Actually, I was very dismayed when I went to EB games, and they said that it was out of print and they didn't have any more copies. But they called other stores, and another EB games had one copy left, so i told them to put it on hold for me and I went on an epic journey (read: hour-long walk. But I had to walk back, too!) to buy the game. It was totally worth it.
