Review: If you love crazy games and experiences, this is the game for you. DOPAMINE (taken from the neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centres.) is an ultra fast-paced shoot’em up that involves little more than shooting anything and everything. There are both single-player and online multiplayer options here, but we couldn’t find anyone online to play with, presumably because we were the only ones who had brought the game so far. You also get a choice of 3 characters UnityChan, Yuko and Misaki as you take each girl into battle.
I was never really sure what on earth was going on in this game, despite having several goes at it. This is a game mostly aimed at the UnityChan fan group, sure it is a fun little game to play, but you never feel in control, you never feel like you know what is going on. If you really are a UnityChan fan, this might make you smile. For the rest of us, it is best to give it a miss.
