IGN reviews Sakura Wars for Wii, and gives it a.....

[Kasz216]

It's a VERY niche dating sim/RPG type game.

Basically it's either going to get 9/10's or 5's/6's unless you get lucky unless you can find the right reviewer that both has an open mind for this kind of thing but hasn't imported the other Sakura Taisen games from Japan.

It's the stigma of cult series like that.
