Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love (Wii)

Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love (サクラ大戦V 〜さらば愛しき人よ〜 Sakura Taisen Faibu ~Saraba, Itoshiki Hito yo~?, Sakura Wars V ~Farewell, My Love~) is a single-player strategy role-playing game developed and published by Sega and licensed by Red Entertainment as the fifth title in the Sakura Wars series for PlayStation 2 and Wii. Like previous Sakura Wars installments, the game consists of two modes of gameplay: Adventure Mode and Battle Mode. In Adventure Mode, Shinjiro Taiga, the main protagonist, is controlled from a third-person perspective and can move around New York. However, characters can also accompany him while traveling around New York. Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love features the series' traditional Live & Interactive Picture System, or LIPS. Under this system, whenever an event occurs in the game the player must choose Shinjiro's next action within a limited amount of time. The four types of the LIPS system consist of Normal LIPS, which is displayed when the player must make a decision; Analog LIPS, which the player can raise the action gauge up or down depending on the situation; Double LIPS, which gives the player a longer amount of time to make decisions; and Stick LIPS, which the player can manipulate the Analog Stick to raise the gauge depending on the situation.
