Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Acceding to consumer demand, Broccoli and Gainax
release a new Evangelion game which puts Shinji in
the role of a detective. Players take
on the role of Shinji Ikari who uses interrogation
skills and a lackluster posture to ferret out the
identity of a killer that's loose on the streets of
Tokyo-3. By chaining together clues and hints culled
from acquaintances and citizens, the unlikely sleuth
pieces together a puzzling mystery.
At the outset of the game, Shinji emerges from an outdoor stall
while sirens blare in the distance. Wandering over
to investigate, he chances upon Rei Ayanami who's
being held in the grips of a menacing
tentacle-waving teenager. Horrified at first, Shinji
musters up to courage to help his friend out. To
free Rei, beat down on the attacker with punches and
kicks to release an exhausted Rei from its grip. The
game is mostly interactive where Shinji picks
locations to visit and talks to friends and
associates. The occasional action sequences and
mini-games load up to break up the tedium of
flick-screen game play.
To recreate the world of Evangelion on the PS2, the original voice
actors from the animation series were hired to give
each character speech.

Game Notes
» On the title screen, urgent music plays while
silhouettes of familiar looking character shapes are
stenciled in behind the big blue/yellow Detective
Evangelion logo. The game selections are:
NEW GAME...... Start sleuthing as Shinji
DATA LOAD...... Resume a game from memory card save
data
OPTIONS......... Adjust sound volumes, toggle
vibration, etc
» Start a new game and white space appears
followed by a female's voice. Gendo Ikari appears.
The female voice says, "Dosan" and then screams as
Gendo is shown with a big bloody pool around his
head. Shinji wakes up in a sweat while bugs screech
in the background. As he sits there, the familiar
Evangelion theme song "A Cruel Angel's Thesis,"
plays as sung by Yoko Takahashi.
» The Year is 2015, April 3.
Police sirens sound in the distance as Katsuragi is
seen standing on a corner in a somewhat shaken
state. In the next scene, Shinji pops out in front
of a clothing stand and notices the sirens. The
scene shifts again to inside NERV HQ where images of
bloody bodies are shown on a telescreen. Bodies of
dead policemen. A strange girl with tentacles where
her arms should be appears on the monitor. Shinji is
shown running and he spies the tentacle girl. He's
transfixed by the sight and freezes but Rei pushes
him out of the way. For her helpful gesture, Rei
gets smacked down by the strange girl's tentacles.
As Rei recovers, the girl-creature's tentacles grab
Rei. Shinji doesn't know what to do as stares at the
amazing sight. Back at NERV, the crew assesses the
situation. Suddenly, Shinji grows a pair and yells
out a battle cry before rushing into battle.
» Control Shinji with the L-analog and punch
the creature-girl by pressing the SQUARE button to
land a few punches or the X button to kick. Guard
against attacks by pressing the O button while the
TRIANGLE button forces to him duck in a defensive
posture. To grab the tentacles and pull them away
for a slingshot twang, press the L2 or R2 trigger
and he'll grab. If you take too long, Rei dies and
the game ends. To prevent that, you'll have to
attack the girl with a bunch of punches and then use
the L2 and R2 to pull both of her tentacles away.
After you do that to both tentacles, Shinji will
pull Rei away and Katsuragi will drive into the
scene and crash into the girl. She survives the
impact however and leaps away and into the deserted
town. Katsuragi drives after her and Shinji helps
Rei while images of dead and bloody policemen may be
seen in the background. An ambulance arrives and
brings Rei into the infirmary at NERV.
» Meitantei Evangelion is an
interactive adventure game with action sequences
interspersed within the storyline. Shinji's actions
are chosen from four activity boxes located on the
bottom of the screen. In the early part of the town
scenario, Shinji runs into his friend Kensuke Aida.
As Shinji goes through the town, he'll encounter
various characters and interact with them by
choosing actions from the four aforementioned
activity boxes. In front of the donut shop, he'll
meet Hikari Horaki. While in town, he sees a girl
that looks strangely like Rei Ayanami except her
eyes are seemingly Kamen-Masked. He follows her into
a mall where he bumps into Touji Suzuhara who is
enraged temporarily. The two see the Rei-clone again
and they puzzle over her appearance.
» All of the dialogue is accompanied by
speech including Shinji's dialogue
» To review the script of dialogue and
storyline at any time, press the TRIANGLE button.
