Tokyo on a bad hair day - ‘Metropolismania’
Metropolismania 2 game play??
3Yen’s crack reporter, “Kuang_Grade,” recently came across a strange video game in bargain assortment of games called Metropolismania 2.
As sort of sim city copy, Metropolismania 2 shows the real Tokyo, the land-o-concrete as a PS2 game. It was released two months ago and now it is being released straight to the bargain bin. Kuang_Grade did some research and came across this review on IGN that made him of basking in the gray glow of real Japan–concrete. The IGN reviewer clearly has a hard time wrapping his head around the demands being placed on the player—That’s just like a Japan, the goal is pave over the entire landscape in concrete and roads that the game characters then complain about not wanting, ha, ha. See “Metropolismania 2 Review” –IGN and watch the game’s gray concrete fun in the video below.
This game is so bad it’s good, which makes me wonder what the rest of the games from Nasume, a quirky company that has put out a fair number of Japanese games in the US, such as chulip, a kissing based game for the PS2 (Watch the YouTube of chulip).

What’s really weird is that my last name is Hopper.
I didn’t know that was a popular western last name to use….
