Product Description

Rewrite is set in the fictional city Kazamatsuri where treeplanting and afforestation have caused the city to become overgrown with trees and flowers in much the same way that other cities are filled by buildings. However, while most of the city appears to be rural, there are many traditional city elements as well. While set in a modern setting, the city also gives off a strange sense of nostalgia. The basis of the story is set in a high school setting. The first half of Rewrite primarily consists of the characters interacting in many everyday, enjoyable scenes. The latter half, however, is more serious, emotional, and carries a sense of mystery to the plot.

Extremely good writing, voice acting and story. A very rewarding experience. Anyone who likes a good story or anime/visual novels will like this game. Has some pretty dark themes but it's handled very well. The music is also very good. I wasn't sure if I was going to like this game when I first started playing but it won me over. This is perfect for anyone who wants to get into visual novels but doesn't like the X rated content that usually goes with it. It's as good as a great anime.

3.0 out of 5 stars Took forever to arrive.

This rating doesn't reflect what I think of the game, I give the game 5 Stars.

The problem is that this game took over two months to arrive to my place. I got a shipping confirmation on schedule and then it just never showed up. I contacted the seller a week after the last date of expected arrival it seems like no one knew what had happened, so they offered to send me another copy once there was one in stock. A week or two later they contacted me asking how I was enjoying the game, and I told them the game still hadn't shown up. They then said it would be shipped out the next day. Without any shipping notice, the game finally arrived a week later.

The game is great and everything is in excellent condition, but it was such a hassle to find out where the game disappeared to for a few months or what the seller was doing and their end to get it here. I was honestly convinced that the game was never going to arrive, I'm just glad it did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, if a bit flawed

Rewrite is quite the strange beast. With famed scenario writer/music composer Jun Maeda's influence almost completely gone (he only writes three songs for this VN), the focus of this particular novel is rather different from past Key works. Rewrite focuses on Koutarou Tennouji, a second-year student at Kazamatsuri Academy who is distressed at his inability to make friends and take advantage of his youth. He decides to change his life, but comes across a great deal of problems in the process, ranging from his club's inability to commit to anything to a struggle between two warring factions that will decide the fate of the planet and the human race. It's definitely a story that knows how to go from the micro to the macro.

Rewrite has six heroines, only three of which are attainable from the start. You end up unlocking more as you read each route. Each of the heroines stands out in their own way, and there is something for everyone in this game. Some of them feel like complete archetypes, for better or worse, but others feel like actual characters. Kotori is the childhood friend who feels the most 'normal' of the cast, although her gardening skills, occasional Engrish and lust for pocket change help her stand out. Chihaya is a softcore tsundere, who acts irritated at Koutarou occasionally because of her poor first impression of him. Other than that, she's eats a lot, is extremely strong, and is rather clueless. Lucia is a hardcore tsundere, as she finds everything Koutarou does irritating, and is quick to attack him. She wears white gloves all the time, which gives her classmates the impression that she is a clean freak, when the truth is actually much crueler than that. Shizuru is a first-year who is impossibly cute and naive, likes saury and is very attached to Koutarou. Akane is a third-year who, through corporate blackmailing, managed to take control of all the school's resources. She is very cold and anti-social, and thinks very negatively about the world and other people. The final heroine, Kagari, is a being born from the Earth, and seemingly intent on destroying all of humanity to revive the Earth. With such a diverse cast of characters, you would think that each route would offer something new and different from every other route.

For the most part, you would be right.

Each route has their own interpretation of the rules of the world. While most of them are similar, a few other facts remain inconsistent with each other. There is an explanation for why events and powers are different in each route, but some routes manage to royally screw themselves over even with all this in mind. Every route has its problems, but whether or not you notice them is up to you. Again, there is something for everyone in this novel, so do not be discouraged from buying this if your favorite heroine has one of the weaker routes while a heroine you don't care about gets a really good route.

The presentation of this novel is top-notch. The music was done by a medley of composers, both old and new. Ryo Mizutsuki, who did a lot of work arranging music for Little Busters!, gets her chance to shine in this VN, and boy, does she ever. Many of the background tracks by Mizutsuki are some of my personal favorites, but the other composers aren't left out either. This novel may have the best soundtrack in Key's long history. And I've heard AIR's soundtrack. The artwork takes full advantage of the new 1280x720 resolution, and while some people aren't fans of Itaru Hinoue's work, I think the CGs and character sprites are amazing.

Overall, Rewrite is a very fun read, but it's not perfect by any means. I think Little Busters! has a better-written story, but there's no reason not to try out Rewrite at least once. Who knows? Maybe you will like it better than I did.

Was a great story even though I wasn't really into that genre much. It was also easy to find and install the English patch. Only thing that sucked was having to restart the story to learn the entire story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where to start...
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2013
There are so many things I could say about Rewrite, but I'll keep it short.

If you're a fan of action/sci-fi/romance/slice of life stories, this is pretty much the ultimate amalgamation of all of those things thrown in together. The common route is mostly slow and used for character development, but is also hilarious. The character routes are well written and play a great part in furthering the depth of the overarching plot the Rewrite universe has to offer. Moon and Terra (the 2nd and 3rd parts after you complete the character routes) leave nothing out, wrapping up the story in amazing, and sometimes unexpected, ways.

I highly recommend reading this Visual Novel, or anything Key has written which has an English translation. I spent 111 hours reading (using the auto-play to match character speech times), so you definitely get a lot of entertainment for the cost.

I hope to see you [reading this] again someday...
