Dream Club Complete Edipyon and Dream Club Zero Special Edipyon

If you like THE IDOLM@STER, this game that I'm going to feature today will not going to please you though because back in 2009, there's this game produced by D3P called Dream Club. It's all about the host club, and then once you're here, you are free to entertain, or be entertained, by the hostesses of Dream Club and yes really, you might be hearing the songs coming out from the hostesses as well at the stage. You really can't imagine where did they get that idea from but who knows, it seems that D3P really took the pages from Namco's books, which is cute girls doing entertainment for your pleasure.

Listen though, this game was launched in the XBOX 360 in 2009 and then it spawned several games to this franchise, including a mahjong game that seems to be too complicating to play unless you are mingled by the hostesses.

With fans of the Dream Club demanding that Dream Club needs to be on the PS3, it seems that the demand has been fulfilled by bringing two DC games, from the first one to Dream Club ZERO prequel, for the first time on the PS3 with some updated features you won't find it in the Xbox 360 version. Let's start with Dream Club Complete Edipyon.

Dream Club Complete Edipyon
Weird, they called it Edipyon and that's how a stupid way to say "edition" but never mind about that. For the improved version of the first game available for the first time on the PS3, you'll expect the same gameplay from the original XBOX 360 version but with added features from DC Zero, meaning that the mini-games from Dream Club Zero you love such as sticking a banana to the hostess' mouth will be there and this goes in the name of extended hours of gameplay. Also new on this Complete Edipyon is some new outfits that you can personalize your favorite host girls. Yes, I know...

Something tells me that here that when you are growing the affinity between you and the host girl of your choice, you might be able to reveal their profiles. At start, the hostesses' info came up empty. You won't even know who are their real names, their birthdates, anything but as long as you keep on playing with the hostess of your choice, their bios will slowly appear and you know it.

The gameplay of this improved version of the first Dream Club game really looks better on the PS3 console, in fact, this is what D3P should have done in the first place. You'll spend hours and hours and hours playing the Complete Edipyon until you got bored but still, you'll never get bored easily toying around with the hostesses until you're starting to getting to know them. Good point for D3P there...

Dream Club Zero Special Edipyon
Some of you may say you have already tried the Dream Club Zero Portable on your PSVita but that alone might not be enough because what it needs is something on the big scale, well, there's a PS3 version for that. Dream Club Zero Special Edition is somewhat an interesting choice. It maybe just a prequel to the first game but with tons of new characters and new features especially the part where you can date with two host girls, you'll might be interested to this over to the first game and because of its DLC offered, you have a lot of choices to make yourselves comfortable...and addicted to the Dream Club franchise.

Both of these improved versions of two Dream Club games developed specifically for the PS3 might sounds juicy enough for those who said "Aha!" but sadly though, I don't really like it. It's too cheesy, it's too cheeky, and this is not quite an alternative to your ever-loving idol simulation game you once played and loved. The gameplay maybe good but sadly, some parts of the game really made you say "wait a minute, those things are from iM@S, how did they got it?".

There's no need to ask how because if you're not interested in idols, why not hostesses? There's nothing bad about asking what's the point of it but both of these PS3 versions really tickles your fancies unless you may dump idols in favor of hostesses.
