While the 2011 version's tight gameplay is mostly intact (with a new Remix Mode for old-timers looking for a twist), each narrative change here deliberately throws a wrench into the base game's structure, intentionally pulling back from its narrow focus. In the process, it does a disservice to what was once a fairly earnest narrative, undermining its cast as the scope of the new content expands. A third romance option was always going to be a bold decision when the original game was so deeply rooted in binaries -- unfortunately, like most of the Full Body-exclusive content, the new character is implemented in a way that lacks the finesse needed to make that decision work. There's still a lot to love in Full Body, particularly in the work that went into the Ideal Voice set, but the game is a shell of its former self, and it sports only a fraction of the punch.
