Update: March 2, 2006 «©NCSX» The slacker known as Shinji Ikari is sleeping late again when Asuka bellows for him to wake up or they'll be late for school. Rousing from his slumber like the undead, Shinji eventually musters up the energy to join a haughty Asuka in walking to class. On the way there, Ikari crashes into a new girl in town and the two clatter onto the sidewalk. Breakfast pastry on the floor. The girl suffers an unintended revelation and accuses Shinji of catching more than an eyeful. After some protestation by the meek Ikari, Asuka steps in and breaks up the commotion and they proceed to school. Once in class, students such as Kaoru, Touji and Kensuke banter and josh around. Teacher Misato Katsuragi soon arrives and announces that a new student will join them. Rei Ayanami walks into class and Ikari recognizes her as the object of his clumsiness earlier in the morning. After another confrontation between Rei and Ikari, Asuka comes to the rescue again and settles everything down. Misato tells Ikari to go to the school nurse to have a scrape on his elbow checked out. Once there, Dr. Ritsuko Akagi asks a number of questions and instructs Ikari to report to NERV and join all of the other students for a series of tests... Essentially an alternate retelling of the Evangelion story, Girlfriend of Steel 2 presents the main characters of the immensely popular franchise in a new light. Asuka and Ikari are seemingly going steady and Rei Ayanami is more normal although her past is still mysterious. Light-hearted and free, the fledgling teenagers get a chance to be youthful and irresponsible without the shadow of NERV mongering over them... at least in the beginning. The game is played in interactive flick-screen motion where simple choices decide the path of story progression. View the back cover and screenshots.
