Absolute Obedience: Zettai Fukujuu Meirei

Note: This review refers to the Japanese edition of the game, not the English release by JAST USA.

With its English release finally official, Zettai Fukujuu Meirei (Absolute Obedience) has been recieving quite a bit of attention lately... and it well deserves it.

Basic Storyline:
The scene for Zettai is set post World War II, somewhere in West Germany. Louise Hardwich and Kia WeiBhenna, the featured pro/antagonists, are each assigned 6 given "targets" in which they must locate and, to put it nicely, seme upon. Herein lies the objective of the game. Each mission is graded after completion (A-D). Once all missions are completed an overall grade is given to the game, along with the options of two different "special endings" if unlocked.

It is difficult where to begin when praising Absolute Obedience because this game has many high points. Zettai is visually bright, well written with excellent voice acting, and chalked full of hard and sometimes jaw-dropping H scenes. Non-con, bondage, shota, and gang/group are among some of the featured themes. This game also includes some suprising sound effects not normally found in most yaoi games, a warning to the faint of heart! Yet somehow Zettai remains more tastefully erotic than abruptly graphic, with an excellent balance of comedy, drama, and romance which is sure to please most all female fans. Perhaps the biggest plus to Absolute Obedience is the fact that there are two main characters instead of one, and twelve overall "targets", making Zettai high on variety, with most games involving on average only five or so eligable characters total. The frustration level of this game is also extremely low despite the high mission count. A Capture Guide, though reccomended, is not neccesarily needed to enjoy what Absolute has to offer.

First time game buyers might want to avoid this title if wishing to ease into something a little less explicit. However, if you're looking to dive head first into harder content then look no further. This is it. Absolute Obedience comes highly reccomended, and is a must-have for the yaoi elitist. Invest in this game and you will not be dissapointed.
