School Days route options are a lot better than what happens in the anime and the multiple options also means if you get a bad end you can always try again. School Days is hit or miss either you like it or you hate it and there really is not an in-between option. That said Setsuna was my favorite character (among a ton of awful ones) from School Days so perhaps this is less an accident than I'd like to admit. I forgot it was in my cart when I went to pre-order Lightning Warrior Raidy III so I ended up getting Shiny Days at the same time.I actually have very little interest in the game and am primarily keeping my purchase to support JAST. Interesting enough I bought the sequel to this game (Shiny Days) by complete accident. I'm now actually pretty interested in Shiny Days, too. Overall I felt that the bad outweighed the good, and I don't particularly like School Days, but I didn't hate it either and I thought it was a pretty interesting experience and I don't regret my time with it. Some of the plot points were just a little bit too convenient in some of the routes, though.
Realistic drama isn't always good, and it's not necessarily fully realistic in School Days, but it feels like the game was written by people who actually know how teenagers talk and interact with each other which is rare in eroge. The good points include how the amount choices really does pull you into the world, and the realism of the drama. I also had some more specific complaints, like how the Setsuna "route" was handled.
The main areas I hated were the animation (extremely bad), the sometimes inconsistent characters, the branching structure of the game being unnecessarily convoluted, making completing multiple routes a real pain in the ass (especially with how they used both choices and relationship points to determine the paths). I think most of the Makoto haters only watched the anime, but he's fine in the game, where you're in control and can make him do sensible things. Most people shit on the game with Makoto hate but I thought he was fine. I won't bother recreating them but the gist of it is that I think it's a kind of bad game. Anyways, I wrote multiple large effort posts on School Days in the "What are you playing?" thread and some are lost to the forums rollback. I thought those were so bad that it was impossible to find them erotic, they were actually comical.
The h-scenes were slightly better but still really bad. I thought the animation was incredibly bad.
