akiba strip or akiba's trip (PSP): game review

[hiroki_chan]

if you're one of those people who've always wanted to go to Akihabara, you might wanna try virtual trip of the real Akihabara in Japan along with the real shops and experience what it's like in maid cafe, yes? then go try this adventure-RPG game for PSP; Akiba's Trip, or you can also read it as Akiba Strip.

I love your reviews. Thanks for this review!

I'm kinda interested in this game (after reading your review), love the game play and the story but not for the stripping part ahahhaahaha.
kinda feels like this game is made for perverts "orz
Just my thoughts.

The customization part is cool. graphics..for psp, it's quite well done. Though, it's sad that you can't pick the gender when you first play, but only able to play a female after you've played once.

I'll so be playing this game :D

[hiroki_chan]

you're welcome. I'm glad if you find this helpful ^_^

oh the stripping part is unexpectedly fun, and it might not as pervy as what you imagine haha. and you're right about that, there are lots of things that can make perverts happy in this game ^^;;

yeah but I find it weird after playing my 2nd try for a few minutes and I picked a girl, since the story was made for a guy as the main protagonist, it feels weird though.

I'm glad I can persuade you to play haha :D

uoh, hiroki-chan sugoi xD
saya nggak kuat main ini, habis nyelesain mission ke-2 , langsung terlupakan ~_~
entah mengapa pusing mainnya ~_~

tapi bagian stripnya seru LOL

[hiroki_chan]

LOL knp pusing? mungkin emang blm tentu asik utk smua org seh, soalnya seblm main aku jg cari2 review & dr english forum & bnyk komentar2 negatif tp ada yg seneng jg seh.

iya kan! xD aku plg seneng suara robek baju klo uda berhastil strip mwahahah xDD

waaah~~ a game like this really exist?!
it kinda remind me of durarara, ikebukoru.
this seem very useful especially for someone who want to go to japan but never did coz of budget problems. Haha.;)
Thank u very much for sharing!!

[hiroki_chan]

yes it exists lol.
if you check Akihabara's google map you can find the similarity with the map in the game.
you can try the virtual tour before you actually go to Akihabara so you won't get lost :)

i am currently playing it or if i may say put it on hiatus cause i have hard times playing it :/

i was looking forward this game because the black hair girl is voiced by hikasa yoko (how fangirl i am xD)

thanks for the review that might help me :D

[hiroki_chan]

ahhh if your biggest motivation to play this game is to hear Hikasa Yoko's voice instead of the gameplay then I suggest you not to continue. the beginning has some voices but the rest of it (even the ending) is voiceless = ="
I wonder how much they paid for the seiyuu, they only speak a few lines! it's probably Kakihara Tetsuyua who speaks the most the in the game, but still.. what this game lacks is the voice feature :\

[furyo_kun]

for real?

i'm kind of dissapointed...i thought there will be more video scenery fully voiced, because i had hard times playing the game i dropped it until now but i guess it don't worth being played if i don't hear the voices :/

[hiroki_chan]

if you wanna hear more voices there's a drama CD released back in September (

Great review!

Excellent review!!!
I was looking through some games that weren't localized to the West today and ran into Akiba's Trip. I may have heard about it in the past but I probably didn't look into it so I kind of forgot it.

So after reading your review I'm anxious to try it out!
I speak japanese too but I'm not happy to hear the game is Kanji heavy there are still a bunch I don't know, but it wouldn't be my first time playing a fully japanese game. Also too bad there's little voice acting as these tend to be the saving grace to those like me (maybe you too, I don't know ;) ) that can't rely too much on their own kanji knowledge!

Re: Great review!

[hiroki_chan]

hi, thanks for reading my review.
you might wanna try Akiba's Trip Plus though, I heard it has fully voiced acting and improved graphic at some parts (the game was released during June 2012).
I haven't tried it yet but if you haven't tried the game then you should probably try the Plus version instead :)

But if you load data from original when you start a new game in PLUS, you'll get 10 random items as well as everything you have in original game.
