Customer Reviews

Niche appeal
(NOTE: I have played this game from start to finish in roughly 32 hours. In this review, I'll use MWMW as an acronym for "My World, My Way".)

In MWMW you play the part of Elise, an incredibly spoiled, self-centered princess who has decided it is time to obtain a boyfriend. She meets the Love of Her Life at a party and confesses his destiny to him, only to be appalled at his rejection. After a night of intense pouting, she casts aside her frilly dress, cuts her hair, puts on a totally impractical set of armor, and sets out to gain the admiration of her desired beau by becoming "mature."

I love this game and would recommend it to others yet recognize its appeal is niche. MWMW is obviously geared toward those who are at least familiar with RPGs as much of the game's humor--even its advertising--relies upon knowledge of RPG tropes. Chances are that if you do not recognize the acronym RPG, this game isn't for you.

The story, the characters, and Atlus's skillful localization come together to make a humorous, charming backdrop for MWMW's gameplay. The gameplay, unfortunately, is not a good fit, being formulaic to the point of monotony.

The game is divided into 4 chapters; in each chapter are a number of towns. Once you enter a town, you must complete a number of quests and defeat a miniboss before you can leave and go to the next town. These quests consist of killing X number of monsters or collecting Y number of items. Sometimes you go into dungeons to kill a boss.

The tedium of this sort of gameplay can be offset to some degree if you can cleverly use the game's most interesting mechanic: Pout Points. PP are the ultimate manifestation of Elise's selfishness and they allow the princess to change her world in various ways. For instance, pouting can end battles or complete quests, make enemies drop more gold or items, raise the levels of nearby monsters or make them give her more experience.

I'd most strongly recommend the game to RPG fans who like their RPGs with a hefty dose of humor. The more RPGs you've played--and the older your first or favorite RPG--the better chance you'll have to appreciate MWMW. This game will also appeal to the kind of gamer who likes to make their character as godly as possible (twinks), as this game gives you many opportunities to do just that.

He Loved it
This game has a very cute sense of humor. Vibrant colors. Great unique style of game. The main character in this game (a princess) is different from the other princesses in other games because she is a bit selfish and won't take no for an answer. I bought this game for my boyfriend for Valentine's day. It came a bit early, so he's playing it already and loves it so very very much.

Cute Game
I really like this game but I wish it was made with free will to just walk around from town to town but I still like that it's in good RPG style.
