Photograph Boy 2: Photo Boy Hits The Showers

Here's the bathhouse scene from Photograph Boy 2, a game Irem released for the Playstation 2 in 2001. This game is so clever and charming that it's no wonder that Sony DIDN'T release it in the United States during the Playstation 2's first year on store shelves. I mean, who'd want to play Photograph Boy when you've got exciting launch window titles like The Bouncer, Eternal Ring, and Orphen?

Arrgh. Anyway, Photograph Boy 2 is the sequel to the wacky action game released for the Japanese Turbografx-16 way back in 1992. The original game was good for fifteen minutes of silly fun, but Photograph Boy 2 improves on it in every conceivable way plus a few you may not have even considered. It even lets you print out the best pictures you've taken while on your adventures, a rare video game feature if ever there was one.

I considered reviewing this game months ago... I may have even written a script for it! However, I just never got around to putting the review together for reasons that even I don't fully comprehend. If you'd like to see me finish the review, let me know... there's a pretty good chance I'll come back to it if there's sufficient interest in it.

Yeah, it came as quite a surprise to me too. Sadly, I'm not doing reviews anymore. :(

You should totally do the review man!

I have the original game on my old JAP PC-ENGINE. I never even knew there was a sequel! =O
