Seduce a SuicideGirl review

We review Seduce a SuicideGirl, an iPhone that lets you fulfill your hopes and aspirations for doing just that

For those of you that are unfamiliar with SuicideGirls, here is the lowdown of what the group is about.

In 2001 the website was founded in a bid to make a collection of beautiful pin up photos of people that were far from in line with force fed idea of beauty we get from the mainstream media.

Incredible looking girls swaying more towards rockabilly, emo and other alternative styles can be found, doing their thing and looking nothing short of incredible. They're far from the barbie doll bimbos that you might see on the front covers of beauty magazines.

Many who have checked out the website will no doubt have had notions of bagging themselves a SuicideGirl. As the title unambiguously, Seduce a SuicideGirl lets you live out the fantasy of doing just that. And what better place to meet your very own SG than a comic book store?

You to play the role of an unemployed, comic book-loving software developer (see nerd). The basic premise is that you walk into the store and spy yourself a girl that is the embodiment of SuicideGirls - utterly gorgeous and farm from trendy.

You then get several points where you can ask one of two questions or make one of two decisions to a question or other event. If you're successful then, you are promised the chance of a 'make-out' session with the SuicideGirl.

When you enter the store and spy your target, the first option you get is to either talk to her or play it cool.

We decided to play it cool and see what happened, but our lack of action resulted in the girl leaving the store and the app informing us that if we wanted to get anywhere we shuold spark a conversation.

After recovering from the embarrassment of such an obvious failure, we chose to to talk to her. After being favorably received, we were invited outside for a 'smoke' and on to the next phase.

We wont give any more away but suffice to say the correct answers aren't always the obvious ones. You'll need to exercise your pulling prowess to get to the end.

Once the roleplay is complete, you end up in the bathroom together. While a 'makeout' session is slightly tricky to simulate on even a touch-screen mobile device, you are treated to her getting her kit off.

This is an ever-so-slightly seedy ending to an otherwise extremely fun iPhone app. Seduce a SuicideGirl delivers on the promise and delivers a solid cost to laughs ratio.
