Kanon

After successful stints on the Japanese PC and Playstation 2, Kanon moseys on down to the portable confines of the PSP. Kanon is a beautifully executed anime romance interaction game whose protagonist is a high school student named Yuuichi Aizawa. Due to family problems, Aizawa moves in with relatives in another town and encounters a bevy of girls at school as well as his cousin Nayuki Minase whom he's living with.

Classmates at school include a girl suffering from amnesia named Makoto Sawatari, a sometimes sickly girl named Shiori Misaka, a strangely belligerent gal named Kawasumi Mai, Miss Congeniality herself - Kurata Sayuri, Ayu Tsukimiya, and many more.
At the outset of the game, a view of static snowflakes against a deep blue backdrop may be seen when a girl's voice intonates, "Yuuichi." The protagonist is seated on a bench at a train station when he glances up and sees the face of a blue-haired girl. After a brief exchange and a handing over of some hot coffee, the protagonist greets his cousin Nayuki and the two eventually go to the Minase household.

New to the PSP version of Kanon is the addition of the protagonist's voice which may be heard throughout the game. He's a gruff sounding bloke who occasionally even snarls words out like daggers. In the PC, Dreamcast, and Playstation 2 versions of Kanon, the protagonist didn't have a voice although the other characters did. «more»
