To Heart 2

To Heart 2 is a 2004 open-world action-adventure game developed by Drillimation Studios in collaboration with Rareware and published by Namco with Microsoft Game Studios for the Xbox. The game was released on December 28, 2004. The game follows the story of a vulgar, raunchy teenager named Hiroyuki Fujita who must return home to his girlfriend, Akari Kamigishi, after a rough night of drinking beer.

The game was originally supposed to be for the Nintendo 64 then the Nintendo Gamecube, but was shifted to Xbox after Microsoft bought Rareware.

Gameplay
To Heart 2 is an action-platform game where the player controls Hiroyuki Fujita through a series of 3D levels. The game features an overworld where players can transition from one level to another, although many are initially blocked off until Hiroyuki earns a certain amount of ingots. The overworld is an enclosed area in which the player can freely explore to find tasks to do. The gameplay mostly relies on figuring out a way to help other characters by completing a linear sequence of challenges. These challenges may include defeating a boss, solving puzzles, gathering objects, and racing opponents, among others. The result is always an ingot reward, which aids access to other areas in the overworld.

Hiroyuki's abilities are far simpler than those of Drillimation's other platformers such as Mr. Driller and Angry German Kid. The player can run, jump, and smack enemies with a blackjack. Hiroyuki also has a few other physical abilities. He can swim underwater for a while until he runs out of breath, climb ladders or ropes, and is strong enough to push heavy objects. To regain lost health, Hiroyuki can eat bowls of rice that are scattered throughout the levels. Additionally, the game employs "context sensitive" pads that allow Hiroyuki to gain different, temporary abilities when pressing the "B" button atop them. For instance, in the beginning of the game, by pressing the B button on the first pad he encounters, Hiroyuki drinks some Alka-Seltzer to wipe out his hangover, at which point players can proceed forward. Some pads can turn Hiroyuki into an anvil to slam into the ground, and some are also used to pull out his shotgun, to activate his throwing knives, slingshot and so on. They also serve to inform players of what needs to be done next.

Controversies
Similar to the first game, there were numerous news reports of teenagers engaging in underage drinking, as depicted in the game. Like the first game the game was banned from being released in the Republic of Guy
