Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2

Those kooky broads!Game Concept: I have been reviewing hentai games for two years. This realization staggers me like a haymaker below the belt. When I first entered this deadly arena of Internet comedy to expose the depravity of Japanese erotic gaming to our audience I was full of purpose and vigor. Since those heady days of youthful exuberance the steady grind of reviewing hentai games has done more than left me a jaded husk of a man; it has entirely broken my spirit. The main contributing factor to this gradual erosion of my sanity has not been the bizarre and often disgusting sexual content of the games. No, the Internet in general did quite a good job of preparing me for the worst hentai had to offer in advance. Instead, it has been the dreadful repetition of almost every element that comprises a hentai game in almost every single hentai game.

I ask you to keep this in your mind as I introduce you to the topic of today's review; "Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2". A year ago, back when I was just getting into my real groove with the reviews, I picked apart the previous installment of this series and declared it the best hentai game I had played to that point. It incorporated relatively mainstream sexuality with a streamlined interface and an impressively branching plot. "Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2" does much the same. In fact, it does exactly the same, since it is an identical game in almost every way to its predecessor. Instead of picking off where the last episode left off the game actually starts over and repeats the entirety of the last episode. However, there are some cosmetic changes, and almost all of them are bad.

In the game you play Kazuma Takatsuki, a globe-trotting wine expert who is working in a restaurant in Italy when he meets up with his green-haired ex and her enormous breasts. Despite her marriage, Sumika seduces Kazuma and in a matter of minutes coerces him into ejaculating. Following this she convinces Kazuma to relocate and take a job working as the wine expert at her "Platinum: Oceanside" restaurant. The restaurant is the first franchise of the "Platinum" restaurant in the previous game, and one of the few direct links to this game. Kazuma is quickly introduced to the bunny-suit wearing harem of girls he will have access to throughout the game. Let's briefly talk about them, starting from the left.

Sumika: The green haired manager and Kazuma's ex-girlfriend. She's married but more than willing to break her vows repeatedly and enthusiastically. Sumika also has some unusual scheme going on wherein she allows Kazuma to pick which girl he is in love with (what a unique concept!) by having sex with all of them and causing lots of trouble at the restaurant. Then she plans on getting angry and jealous about not being picked herself. Waaaa, baby wants to fuuuuck!

Madoka: Blue haired and inexperienced, Madoka can also be aggressive. Worth noting is that she is a "junior in school". Those of you aware of hentai codespeak know by now that this means her character is intended to appeal to the pederasts among gamers. Fear not! Almost any course you choose in the game leads to Madoka's virginity being flayed to pieces and her blood spraying out in a crimson arc from her tattered hymen.

Makoto: The pink haired waitress with the large breasts. Madoka is a more traditional Japanese maiden, pink hair aside, and she works hard to win Kazuma's affections by making him elaborate lunches and letting him nurse on her lactating breasts. A record skips! Waaaaa? You said waaaa? That's right, Madoka, the pink haired virginal flower has a hormonal problem and her pumpkin sized breasts are secreting a taste sensation. This is an embarrassing secret to her, but Kazuma is so willing to take advantage of this little tidbit during the course of their passionate encounters that I was beginning to expect him to milk her into a coffee cup and throw it under the cappuccino machine.

Misuzu: The normal human hair color Plain Jane of the bunch, Misuzu acts mature but isn't above snuggling a boner now and then for the sheer joy of it. At times "Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2" gives you the impression that being a man and working in a female-dominated food service industry is an experience akin to throwing a skinless hog into a school of piranha. In the case of this game replace "piranha" with "anime women" and "skinless hog" with "unreasonably giant penis with the quaint ability to ejaculate five gallons of mayonnaise".

Shiori: Shiori is purple haired, polite, cheery, and also more than willing to distend her inch-wide mouth around a penis the size of a small child's torso. I didn't spend a whole lot of time interacting with her in my multiple play-throughs, but her small breasts lead me to believe that she is the generic "sporty" hentai character. You also might be able to guess whose breast milk Shiori is not averse to sampling.

You may notice from the lineup image that the women look extremely similar. That's because "Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2" seems to be utilizing the time-saving palette swap technique of games like "Diablo". Ooh, Shiori is purple, she must be much tougher than the blue Madoko!

Probably my favorite aspect of the game is the way the interactive sections work. Occasionally a menu will pop on the screen letting you select from two or three options. Very rarely this menu happens during sex and the decision you are making is fairly clear. Most of the time, however, the game gives you two or three arbitary choices and then branches randomly from that. Oh, I went to the kitchen instead of the Lounge, encountered Misuzu, and had sex with her there, now Madoka will hate me! It's great to see that interactivity has actually taken a step backwards from "Choose Your Own Adventure" novels.

I don't think that fits ma'am.Most of the time these arbitrary branches in the plot will lead to the game ending prematurely and unhappily for poor Kazuma. It took me four tries to actually get a positive ending with the milk-laden Makoto thanks to the horrid trial-and-error method of the game. The ending and the brief cameo by two characters from the previous game were not worth the effort.

Difficulty: Impossible or easy depending on your luck. If you're just really persistent and willing to subject yourself to about four plays of the game per girl then I would rate it as "extremely difficult".

Defining Moment: Much as I would like to point to the multiple lactation-themed sequences in the game, I have to aim my disgust at the more familiar enemy of hymen blood. Breast milk isn't really my thing but I can deal with it, all of this virgin blood that has been cropping up in hentai games lately is far more disturbing. I think worst of all is the fact that you really wouldn't expect it going into "Do You Like Horny Bunnies? 2". Theprevious game didn't have it, and it's not like its subtitle is "Paint it Red" or "Crimson Sheets of Fury". It doesn't even put in just one appearance; it crops up multiple times.

Final Thoughts: Maybe I was drunk when I played the first game in this series, but assuming I wasn't this sequel is a dreadful departure for the series. Even though a year passed between this and the last game - which is like an entire epoch in hentai development cycles - the graphics have gotten worse, the story is just a slightly modified rehash, and none of the characters are anything more than heavy retreads of hentai archetypes.
