=============================================================================
1. INTRODUCTION  
=============================================================================

This is the first ever game ever made for Cardcaptor Sakura released
on japan, the  popular Mahou no Shoujo (Magical Girl) anime about a 
girl named Kinomoto Sakura who're given a power to seek and seal the 
Magic Card, namely Clow Card. However, this game is the first anime 
related games from Arika, the developer which became famous because 
they've done the  only polygonal Street Fighter series, 
Street Fighter EX, for Capcom. Anyway, this game is VERY EASY 
to understand, even if you aren't able to speak japanese well, 
especially for you who've been watch TV Anime series, since the goal 
of this game, is to covered the episodes from it's TV series. But, 
that's also made this game became VERY linear, NO decision point, and 
there's no such things called "GAME OVER". That's make this game feel 
too short even it's come on 2 CD Set, fortunately The replay value is 
quite high, because you're gonna able to replay the minigames, and 
gaining some other cool stuff.

This game don't seems can satisfied the gamers in general, but at 
last, it's enough to satisfied Anime Fans (CCS fans particularly ) 
because this game also contain the FMV's & music  taken from it's 
TV series and may be counted as one of Cardcaptor Sakura's 
merchandise stuff + very Cuuuuuuuuuute Chibi SD character, especially
for Sakura^^
