As mentioned before, if there were an option to turn that off, this game would be safe for kids then. The busty anime ladies are seen in bikinis and other outfits, but that’s about it.
#GALS PANIC ARCADE GAME PLUS#
Pretty Girls Panic! PLUS is rated M for Mature with ESRB descriptors of Partial Nudity and Sexual Themes. It was also pretty easy to get all the trophies, as I ‘platinumed’ it in one sitting! It would’ve been nice if there was an option to turn off the anime ladies in the background if that bothers people, but otherwise that’s the only problem I had with it, aside from the annoying polka dot backgrounds.
If you look at just the core gameplay itself, I actually liked it because it’s Qix but not quite as hard and less nerve-wracking. You can change settings in the options screen, like the difficulty, which either gives you four or six lives per level. Use a clone, instead Gals Panic 4 (Japan) Gals Panic 4 (Korea) Gals Panic DX (Asia) Gals Panic S - Extra Edition (Asia) Gals Panic S - Extra Edition (Europe, set 1) Gals Panic S - Extra Edition (Europe, set 2) Gals Panic S. You can start back from any stage you’ve finished, as well as view the ladies and outfits you’ve unlocked in the gallery. Gals Panic 3 (Euro) Gals Panic 3 (Hong Kong) Gals Panic 3 (Japan) Gals Panic 3 (Korea) Gals Panic 4 (Europe) No sound. New to PLUS are fields that can slow you down, speed you up, keep you from moving, or kill you outright. You get bonus points for bigger squares or if you make a square with an enemy inside. If you touch a power-up or wrap a square around one, you can temporarily stop time, or get extra speed or invincibility. You’ll avoid enemies that bounce around, hone in on you, ones that follow your line, and others that fire projectiles at you. You control a monkey on a cloud similar to the Journey to the West story, for instance. While the first game had an underwater theme, this one has characters from myths and legends. Oddly enough, there was a Qix-like arcade game with the same idea called Gals Panic that gained some notoriety because of that. In Pretty Girls Panic, if you get 75 percent or more of your squares on the screen, you’ll finish the level and reveal a picture of an anime lady in a swimsuit or other outfit. But you had to avoid enemies that would destroy you if they touched you or your line before finishing a square. In that game you had to draw lines to form squares, and when you did it would fill in the square and would give you a percentage of territory you covered. So basically, this game plays just like Qix, a classic Taito arcade game from the early 80s.

It’s available on PlayStation consoles, Switch, and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here. It’s very similar to Pretty Girls Panic, which I reviewed recently, but adds new graphics, characters, and gameplay mechanics.
