Rule of Rose, which has become one of those games collectors talk about because it's collectable, has a poor reputation. Personally, I got it when it was released (via import, a manufactured scandal in a few UK papers caused the publisher not to release the game here, despite the game already being manufactured), enjoyed it for what it was and loved the setting and the fact that it was survival horror of the type perfected in Silent Hill 2. It's not 'superb', only has a few bosses, is quite repetitive, but the whole package made it a really good game for me.
