Update: June 30, 2006 «©NCSX» Finder Love plies the virtual photography trade where Japanese gravure idols pose and preen for the camera. As an up 'n coming photog, players watch as the girls wiggle, roam, and wander around the screen while taking photographs that are suitable for framing. Snapshots worthy of Scavullo open up new scenes with the models where they pose in different scenery and settings. When a photo shoot starts, a faint "camera" overlay is pasted on the screen over the model's actions and pink hearts and camera indicators start moving from the outer edge of the left and right screen towards the center. When the hearts pass the rectangular indicators to the left and right of the spotting reticule, press the L-Trigger and get ready to take a snapshot. When the two camera icons meet, shoot the shot by tapping the R-trigger and the camera's virtual shutter clicks to take in the model's prancing. After each photo shoot, your performance is tallied and the film developed to show the photographs that were taken. A natural location that's found in all three Finder Love games is the beach where the gals pose in skimpy bikinis. In addition to virtual photography sessions, interactive episodes may be enjoyed where the girls talk to the screen and engage in light hearted situations which require minimal input from the gamer/viewer/voyeur. In the Aki Hoshino of Finder Love, the model prepares a snack, frolics in a number of bikinis, fools around in a pair of sunglasses, relaxes at a resort, and stars in many more scenarios. Aki's mini-games include a "push-the-button-which-matches-the-cue" interaction where Aki clowns around in the background, rocks-scissors-paper, and a simple boxing game where the L and R triggers control the bobbing and weaving to avoid Aki's attack. If she connects thrice, your HP drops and the mini-game eventually ends. The Limited Edition of Finder Love: Aki Hoshino includes the following items which are packaged in a 9 x 7 x 2" carton: » A "Making Of" DVD which includes footage of the preparation required to produce Finder Love and other compelling shots of Aki Hoshino. » A pink and aqua colored two-piece bikini which is packaged in a plastic wrapper and backed with an illustrative piece of cardboard which shows how the bikini would look when worn. Capcom recommends against wearing the bikini but it looks like it would be usable at the beach. » A photograph of Aki Hoshino that's printed on Kodak Royal Digital Paper.
