Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon S Kurukkurin is a puzzle game. A pretty simple one but still addicting as most puzzle games are. Even though it's a Japanese game, you know need to know the language at all to know what's going on - which is really good.

Graphics - 6.0: The graphics are pretty good, although really plain. There's no differences between the stages at all, no matter who you're up against. It's just the necessary for you to look and don't want to close right away. The special attacks are pretty nice but also not very elaborated.

Sound - 5.0: The music is boring. There's just two songs, one for the stage and one for when one of the characters is almost winning. The sound effects are alright, but some of them really annoy me, like when you accidentally make a wrong move. I like when the characters say they attacks' names but that's pretty much it that amuses me.

Addictiveness - 8.0: As a puzzle game, this one is addicting. Specially if you get fired up when you lose. Because, trust me, you will lose. I'll explain why later, in difficulty. But it's a pretty nice game once you understand how to play it.

Story - none?: There's not exactly a history behind this. As in the anime, the Sailor Moon S season shows the sailors having to collect some "talismans". These are what you must collect to win a round in the game. Uranus' sword, Neptune's mirror and Pluto's brooch. They don't really have a sequence to appear, though. After you select your character and the pc select theirs (in story mode), your sailor will say something like "I'll punish you in the name of /planet/!" and the game is on.

Depth - 5.0: The game is not too big and doesn't offer nothing new. You just have to defeat all the sailors and Tuxedo Kamen (Tuxedo Mask) in the same game in order to beat it. If you don't like the game, you probably won't even think of playing much because nothing new and exciting will come up. Not even an amazing scene. Just the game.

(bonus!) Gameplay - 6.0: The controls don't match this game. It's supposed to be fast and easy but your ball doesn't move so fast. It takes a while until you catch up. Don't feel depressed when you glance to your adversary's screen and watch him/her move at the speed of light, it'll happen to anyone! As you start your game you'll be given a screen full of colored hearts. To clear them you must press A in a group of 2 hearts or more (horizontally or vertically) and they'll vanish, making the hearts that were above them fall down. The problem is, all the new hearts that fall in your screen will be blank. You'll have to use your ball to pass through them and reveal their color. And if you manage to make a good chain of disappearing hearts, you'll give your adversary a brand new line of undiscovered hearts! When one of he talismans finally fall into your screen, your objective will be getting to make it fall down to the end of the screen. When you clear up the last hearts under it, it'll appear close to your sailor as a sign that you got it. The two sailors will have to get all 3 talismans in order to win.
You're also gonna find a few items along your way (besides the talismans you're supposed to get) and they'll either help you in your screen or mess with your adversary's. The heart-shaped pink brooch (Pluto's is white, don't confuse them) will either reveal the other hearts in your screen (if you click in a blank heart after clicking on the item) or will make all the hearts of one color disappear (you get to choose what color by clicking on a heart with it). You can also make your opponent's screen turn into all blank hearts if you invade its screen after clicking on the brooch and selecting a random heart (useful, huh?). The other item is some kind of staff. When you click on it, your character will perform its special. The special will usually make a few hearts disappear from the opponent's screen. Those items pop up for both you and your adversary, so look out!

Difficulty - 9.0: This is one hard game. Some puzzles are just really easy and you get bored of them quickly but this one isn't your ordinary puzzle game. It depends on your luck most of the time. If you're lucky, the talisman won't take much to pop up. If you're lucky, your adversary won't burn or disappear with your talisman while they're using their special (yeah, that can happen). And my favorite part  is that you won't have a best of three round. It's either win or lose so it's a lot of pressure!

My overall score for the game will be 7.8 because of its addictiveness and its difficulty. I love a good challenge and that game will really make you sweat (or get angry).

Wow....just wow....this review is amazing! I know I haven't played sailor moon games but, maybe one day I'll try too.....you did a wonderful job on this. And I really liked how you detailed everything out as well. I hope you can do more like this in the future. Merry Christmas and a happy new year! ^-^
