To be frank, it depends on what your're looking for in a dating game. TL does have great art and some likable characters, but the writing is bland and the gameplay is repetitive. I pride myself on my sense of humour, but I can't remember ever laughing or smiling at a clever joke or witty exchange while playing this game. Talking with the girls felt stilted, and every route went exactly the same way - after you played one route, you know them all. And having just two gifts for each girl is borderline lazy, as is the "revealing" incident you get with each girl at their beach date.

Since other reviews have compared TL to HuniePop (which I have played extensively since it first came out), let me do this too. HP's art might be less sophisticated (I found it appropriate, though), but its replay value is infinitely better than TL with its repetitive three-by-four-cube matching. If the people who created TL had taken a page from the HP book, TL would have been a much better experience than the drawn-out going-by-the-numbers it was.
