Romantic adventure game for Xbox, from Japan's Panther Software. The multiple-choice-style adventure game is based on the PC original of the same name. The game features seven characters who are -- and this may come as a great shock -- all female, each with her own "heartful" story -- designed to drawn in and evolve the players, or even move them to tears. Features anime-style "tableau" (as in, there is no game engine or true exploration) graphics and the full voice treatment for all characters. The game's title, "Aoi Namida" translates to "Bue Tear." Available in Japan only.
