I really love gal gun this is one of them games I been waiting for for a long time I already have it on ps4 I ordered the psvita one 2 days ago the game suppose to be here today it's great for diehard anime fans they need to make more of these games...

(This review is for the game as it is and for the ps vita rendition)Gal*Gun Double Peace, a game I've been looking forward to playing for a long while now, has not disappointed - for the most part. Naturally, given the scale of the developing company and the concept of the game, I wasn't expecting to much besides what I was offered. The game itself has a neat, funny, and sort of "out there" story in which you assume the role of the student who suddenly is the most attractive man to every girl on campus. However, you need to fend off these girls with pheromones and euphoria, or you will be loveless forever. The story is farfetched, and leads for a typical anime romcom tale, but it works to entertain.The game is a rail shooter, and as far as its gameplay goes, it's pretty solid. Between the multiple alternate stories/endings and the side quests, you are given a rather challenging shooting game to play through through each stage. The game as a whole is really good and entertaining; you can clear the main stories with about and hour and half each, but for trophy collectors concerned, you can comeback for more.On the topic of the ps vita version, however, the differences are small, and there seems to be (to me) just two problems. Graphic degradation aside (because this is the vita, not the ps4), the ps vita port takes a decent amount of time to first start up the game (about 1-2 minutes total to load the game entirely) and each screen before and after shooter stages take about 1 minute to load as well. It's nothing too bad, but it still is a little bit inconvenient for those trying to speed through. The most major issue with this port, in my opinion, is the rendering of multiple enemies. Regardless of stage, the gameplay will go smooth for you - so long as there are 3 or less enemies on the screen at the current time. If you are moving and multiple enemies are coming into play, the game will definitely begin to lag out and affect the ability to accurately aim. However, this lag ends quickly, but it does take a moment to re-adjust.All things aside, Gal*Gun is still a very entertaining and fun game to play, and this port retains all of the PS4 features with a few loading bugs to boot. Highly recommended, especially for those wanting to grow the Vita collection.

I like buying weird japanese games. This is a weird one, but it's also fun as heck! Totally recommend this, I really like how it plays on the vita. The load times are a bit long, but thats the only downfall.

This game getting 4 and 5 star reviews here is insane to me. First off, allow me to say that I LOVE the concept of this game. I imported the first game on PS3 because I loved the idea of a rail shooter where you actually weren't killing bad guys, monsters, zombies or terrorists. That alone had me interested. And I like quirky, oddball Japanese games now and then, so it was a win there. I even imported the Vita version of this game a mere 2 or 3 days before this localization was announced. And I bought it again so that I could finally understand the game.There are three MAJOR reasons why this game gets such a low rating. And this should have been at least a 3 star, or even 4 star, but that wasn't meant to be.1 - The loading times. This simply cannot be ignored. Over 2 minutes from the time you start the game by pressing the bubble icon until you can get to the main menu by skipping the opening movie immediately once it starts. This is actually FASTER than the original imported version, which takes about 15-20 seconds longer, for some reason. This. Is. Unacceptable. Going in I knew the load times would be bad, but when you add in the next two, it all severely hurts the game on the whole.2 - The framerate. I don't know how low it dips, but for a rail shooter with low texture backgrounds at places, pop-in loading to help with the strain and decent to solid 'main' visuals where it counts the most, this game simply runs like garbage. Once again, this was present in the imported original as well, but this game was CLEARLY designed for the PS4 first, and brought to the Vita (badly) as an afterthought.3 - The 'localization'. This is, simply put, a lazy and INCOMPLETE localization of the game. Sure, the dialogue boxes have the text translated from Japanese to English, and the menus are in English now. But everything else is left alone. Any, and I mean ANY in-game dialogue is completely untranslated. They kept the original Japanese voice overs, and that's fine, that happens a lot in games that come to the States. But to have NO subtitles or anything, especially for important stuff. Unacceptable. There are levels where you are directly interacting with main characters in the game. They are talking to you, the player, over the course of the ENTIRE level, and none, I repeat, NONE of it is translated. It's all Japanese dialogue with ZERO subtitles. Apparently everything she says to me, the player, for the entire level, is not important.Simply put, this is a game with a very fun and quirky concept, and the game isn't by any means broken. It loads, it works. But it's badly and LAZILY done. A terrible framerate that was never optimized for the Vita, terrible loading times for a game that SHOULD be the most amazing looking Vita game of all time to justify those load times, but it's not. Not even close. And a lazy and literally incomplete localization. The Vita version of this game, simply put, is not worth buying. And I hate to say that, because I wanted to much to like this game. Shame on PQube for this utterly lackluster effort. If THIS is the work you put into bringing a game to the English speaking market, then I know to avoid you in the future.
