This is the second game in the 9 -nine- series, a half-chuunige series that began last year.  For my comments on the first game, look below.

I'm going to be blunt... all my complaints about the previous game in the series still apply here.  While a little more information is revealed in the second game than the first, and two of the characters (Haruka and Sora) come to life a great deal more than in the first game, it has to be said that the sense that I should have waited for all the games in the series to come out before I played it is unchanged.  Oh, I liked Sora as a heroine (the interplay between her and the protagonist is frequently worthy of laughs).  However, I absolutely hated the way it trailed off at the end, right after revealing something of absolute importance.

The battle scene in this one (there is precisely one worthy of the  name) is good, and the writing (of course) is first-class... but playing a game like this in pieces is immensely frustrating.
