©NCSX» Relive the entirety of the original Evangelion serial by playing the part of Shinji Ikari as he goes from simpering whelp to sheepish Evangelion Unit-01 handler. Bandai's Evangelion JO is an interactive retelling of the animated series which features snippets of conversation, CG scenarios, action-packed fighting sequences, and more NERV than you can shake a stick at. The game starts with a view of Shinji who's standing in front of a payphone while the sounds of cicadas whine in the background. Shinji looks at a postcard from Misato Katsuragi who's wearing a bikini and ponders a note that he received from his father when Misato appears in her sports car. She beckons Shinji to enter and they both drive to NERV Headquarters where his new life is about to begin.
The early part of Evangelion JO sets up the story of NERV, the Evangelion, and the Angels who are wreaking havoc on Tokyo III. After the basis of the drama has been established, Shinji arrives at Geofront where he pilots EVA-01 into battle against an invading Angel. The first encounter is primarily a cinematic affair which features very limited input on the part of the player but subsequent battles are full action games where the Evangelion is controlled directly and sent into battle against each successive Angel. In between the battles, Shinji's relationships with Misato, Rei, Asuka, and others grows as his inner evolution takes hold. «NCS Game Notes»
