PS2 Gunparade Orchestra: Ao no Shou - New Import
NCS Game Synopsis
 «©NCSX» The conclusive chapter of Gunparade Orchestra takes place in the summer time where the 109th ISP patrols and protects Chichijima, an island located in the Bonins (aka Ogasawara Islands) ~600 miles south of Tokyo. As in previous chapters in the series, the threat and invading force is known as the Genju, massive insect-like creatures which travel in packs and attack en masse. The defenders of Chichijima are high school students who study and interact with fellow classmates during a normal day. However, when the siren sounds and warns of an impending attack, the students assemble into battle squads, don svelte armored suits, and rush out to meet the invaders. By using weapons and bombs, the teams of defenders beat back the monsters. The interaction scenarios that take place at school serve to reinforce relationships with fellow students. The stronger the bond between students, the more they'll cooperate like a cohesive force during missions.

    The first GPO took place in the winter time and a penguin served as the school mascot. The second GPO ran through spring and a cat became the new mascot. Since the third GPO takes place at summer, the mascot is now a chipmunk with a bushy tail. 
 

 

NCS Game Notes
 » The island of Chichijima is known as Father Island in Japan. It lies in a tropical / subtropical zone which attracts tourists for its fishing and swimming. The complement to Chichijima in the Ogasawara Islands is Hahajima which means Mother Island. The total population on both islands stands at approximately 2,500.

» Since it's summer, the warm weather behooves all of the male students to wear shorts and the gals wear skirts. In the earlier games, the males always wore long pants although the gals wore skirts even in the winter episode.

» Characters from the first two Gunparade Orchestra games may be transferred to Ao no Shou via memory card save for use in the new action-adventure.
