What is an appropriate first date? Is it okay to kiss someone one the first date? In one possible scene, the protagonist spends the night with a girl he's been dating for a few months. Teens who are into the interactive story format should absolutely love Surviving High School. The game flirts with some ethically challenging scenarios, but that only makes it more appealing and, frankly, more relevant. Although the protagonist is a male by default, girls will probably also be interested in playing-and several of the bonus episodes have female protagonists. And the tap-style football games (quickly tap the highest yardage numbers as they appear) makes the game palatable for non-jock types (who are probably a big part of the audience). The inclusion of very real educational material is surprising, but laudable. Teens will definitely be engaged-and probably unwilling to put the game down between episodes. The characters are incredibly well-drawn (and not just visually), the dialogue can be very funny, and the plot can even be surprisingly touching in parts.
Surviving High School is basically a playable teen soap opera, but that description doesn't give it enough credit.
Some of these have slightly less realistic plots and put teens in situations like dealing with a mafioso thug or searching the basement of the Globe Theater for a lost Shakespeare play. Once the main storyline is finished, you can play through eight bonus episodes that center around supporting characters from the main story. Football games are played through a fast-tapping reflex game, so even people who know nothing about real football can succeed. As the story progresses, the player will have to take real quizzes for schoolwork, as well as play word games to advance past situations as varied as dancing in a mosh pit to finding a missing lizard. Exactly where the story goes is up to the player who is constantly asked to make choices based on the situations he finds himself in. The main storyline of SURVIVING HIGH SCHOOL follows a new student at Centerscore High in his attempts to make friends, find dates, keep up his GPA, make the football team, and maybe even become Homecoming King.
