NCS Product Synopsis
Update: February 23, 2006
Metal Wolf REV Limited Edition
«©NCSX» The limited edition of Metal Wolf REV includes an original soundtrack which collects the tracks from the game. Although all of the music may be listened to in-game by visiting the BGMmode section of the ADDITION gallery, the music is compressed and sounds flat. The CD captures the music as it was meant to be heard - in vibrant and crisp streaming audio from your CD player. The title track, "Metal Moon" which is sung by tiaraway (Saeko Chiba / Yuuka Nanri) is a keeper but BGM connoisseurs might find other tracks to rip into their iPods.The DVD insert for the limited edition also features the four main characters in new poses that are more evocative of their personalities, more so than the posturing that they adopt in the regular edition of the game.

In Metal Wolf, players take on the role of a sharp-edged salaryman named Houjou Minagi. Trained in hand-to-hand combat as well as swordplay, Houjou teams up with fellow office worker Sakura Mizuha to quash public nuisances and other threats to the peace. Their lives take a turn when they run into an amnesiac named Larissa who may be linked to Metal Wolf, a red cloaked assassin.

Metal Wolf REV Game Synopsis
Update: February 23, 2006
«©NCSX» In a dystopian future, civilization crumbles but not all is lost. Survivors set out to recreate the world with ordered and controlled social structures. In the rebuilding process, society requires coordination by corporate decree to keep the peace. The company that is established as the arbiter of the planet's rebuilding is called the Planetary Development Corp which asserts control and starts setting up social strata as well as systems of habitation. White collar workers are groomed to work at the corporation where they handle the development and growth of the world. Even under the auspices of an efficiently managed system, a religious rebel force rises to raise a ruckus.

As a new employee of the Planetary Development Corporation, Houjou Minagi works with fellow workers to address eruptions of unrest and squash disturbances. Houjou collaborates with a bubbly office girl named Mizuha Sakura and a new employee named Karen Asagiri to support the infrastructure of the corporate machine. One day, a wandering girl named Larissa enters Minagai's life and he resolves to help her recover her memory as well as tie-in her connection to a mercenary killer named Metal Wolf. Essentially a hentai game, Metal Wolf features suggestive poses, lewd panty shots, and other adult themes which thread through the game.

NCS Game Notes
* The title screen appears after the Princess Soft logo and you're able to start the game immediately. If you leave it alone, an intro starts which features the gals of Metal Wolf followed by characters in silhouettes followed by the gals again along with beasts and a purple haired agent, foes, and the mysterious pink haired girl named Larissa. In one sequence, agents are motoring on a desert in a jeep and in another, the rain pelts downwards on the characters and foes because leading to gunplay and a view of the armored, red cloaked assassin known as Metal Wolf.

* Upon pressing START, the following options appear:

START / Begin a new game
LOAD / Recall a save point from memory card
OPTION / Adjust volumes, window colors, speed, etc
ADDITION / View CGmode, BGMmode, Ending Check.

/ The CGmode contains 9 pages of artwork with each page holding 15 images. Must be unlocked before anything can be viewed.

/ Ending Check features 39 cinemas from the game that may be viewed once they've been unlocked.

* A new game starts with the roar of thunder in the background as a starry night sky appears overhead. The story is introduced by way of dialogue boxes where the heavens pay witness to the destruction of civilization below.

* A woman's voice seeks the protagonist's attention. Multiple times. Eyes wide open, the view is of office workers in the background and a Belldandy wannabe in the foreground named Sakura Mizuha. She's dressed in a blue uniform and her hair is of the sprightly sprig-filled type. After a clanging interaction sequence, a view of the protagonist Houjou Minagi is shown where he's sporting purple hair and wearing a loose green tie underneath a dandy suit. In the background, Sakura may be seen running off.

* Afterwards, the same introduction from earlier plays to give the story some moody music and atmospherics.

* Cut to a scene where the director of the Planetary Development branch holds a short conversation with Houjou when they're joined by Sakura. Soon, they're back at the office where Sakura has regained her exuberant sheen and they're soon on the street. A car screeches to a halt and out steps Karen Asagiri, a new assignee to Houjou's department who throws off a no-nonsense approach and outlook. Sakura panics but the ever cool Houjou charms Karen and manages to break the ice. After she hops back into her car, Houjou and Sakura walk to a desolate part of town where the rebuilding process has not been completed. They're greeted by a guy in middle eastern garb with purple necklace and pendant and red / yellow/ purple outfit. He's wearing sunglasses, a goatee, and pointy whiskers. While in this part of town, a girl named Sakino Shinonome with pink hair poofy blue dress stumbles upon the two agents. She speaks in a low voice and appears slightly lethargic, owing to her low blood pressure.

* To view the history of the script up until your current point, press the TRIANGLE button to scroll through what has transpired.

* Voices accentuate the dialogue from the supporting characters but everything that Houjou Minagi says only appears in text form.

* Progress may be saved to memory card at anytime. To bring up the options menu during game play, press the SQUARE button and the following options appear:

TITLE

* Houjou Minagi is a well trained fighter who can swing a mean blade who has a weakness for beautiful women. Despite her ditzy demeanor, Sakura Mizuha is also a powerful fighter who transforms from gentle and caring office worker to tigress when battle beckons. Sakura is also gifted in various espionage and subterfuge skills. Together, the two form a crew to be reckoned with.

* The PS2 version of Metal Wolf features a new introduction sequence with a new song called "Metal Moon" which is sung by tiaraway (Saeko Chiba / Yuuka Nanri). There's another song in the game called :Howling to the Metal Moon" (Original version and remix) but tiaraway's song is catchier. A new ending tune called Moonlight is also included and all of the songs may be played in the BGMmode gallery. Princess Soft also adds two new characters (Sakino Shinonome and a fishmonger named Oyassan) who provide new interactive scenarios.
