«©NCSX» Itoh
and Chika Nobue are sisters,
with Itoh playing the part of
jaded teenager who is seemingly
disaffected beyond her years.
Chika is younger but more
sensible than her older sibling.
Three additional young friends complete
their unholy circle and the
quintet involve themselves in
mundane situations made
interesting by their reactions
to normal situations and
occurrences. An innocuous
door-to-door cosmetics salesman
is accused of being a molester,
an underage Itoh smokes and
drinks, and other contrasts
which challenge the rhyme of
"sugar and spice, and everything
nice."
In the PS2 game, the
protagonist returns to Hamamatsu
and spends four weeks of the
summer with Itoh and gang in
interactive scenarios. The world
map in Ichigo is viewed from
overhead and a few buildings of
interest are highlighted. Five
little faces appear on the
buildings where the different
girls are hanging out. To visit
someone, click on a building and
be greeted by a girl that is
morose, puzzled, peeved, happy,
or bored. It all depends on the
situation and how one handles it
will affect how the girl feels
towards the protagonist. Various
sound effects also convey the
surroundings. When the gals are
at the beach, the sound of water
and waves will reverberate in
the background. Various
mini-games such as "Space Shot"
may also be enjoyed.
To reinforce the atmosphere
of the Ichigo Mashimaro
animation, the voice actresses
from the series supply their
impressive vocal talents to the
girls as follows:
Nobue Itoh - Played by Hitomi
Nabatame
Chika Itoh - Played by Saeko
Chiba
Matsuri Sakuragi - Played by
Ayako Kawasumi
Miu Matsuoka - Played by Fumiko
Orikasa
Ana Coppola - Mamiko Noto
The voice actresses mutter,
yell, snipe, and massage every
word for a lively Ichigo
Hashimaro experience.
During the course of
interaction, the girls will
develop feelings for the
protagonist which is denoted by
hearts. Each girl's portrait is
shown inside a circle and five
hearts are above each one. If
you have pleasant interactions,
the hearts will slowly fill up.
