, subtitled in English ''Neon Genesis Evangelion: Iron Maiden 2nd'', is a Gainax-produced adventure anime-style video game, and manga based on that game, set in the alternate universe seen in episode 26 of ''Neon Genesis Evangelion''. The player controls Shinji Ikari, the hero of the original ''Evangelion'' series, as he navigates his home, school, and social life in a now-peaceful "Tokyo-3". Each character from the original ''Evangelion'' makes an appearance but some of their circumstances and personalities have radically changed. Misato Katsuragi is now a popular homeroom teacher, and Ritsuko Akagi is the school nurse (however, these two still have their posts at Nerv from the original storyline). Asuka Langley Soryu is Shinji's childhood friend and neighbor, Kaworu Nagisa is an enigmatic playboy type who has known Shinji for years, and Rei Ayanami is a hyperactive transfer student. Although the game's name suggests it is a sequel to the previous ''Evangelion'' visual novel ''Girlfriend of Steel'', the story is unrelated. While no plot-elements are connected, the gameplay is exactly the same. ==Gameplay== The game functions as a visual novel-style "additional episode". While this game features official art, backgrounds and music in the style of the original series and full-voice, it is fundamentally different from the first ''Girlfriend of Steel''. The artwork was done by a new team, but the voices were provided by the same voice actors from the original series cast. The game also has dating sim elements and includes three "dateable" characters (Rei, Asuka, and Kaworu). Reward CG for each character can be uncovered and collected in a CG gallery accessible from the game's main menu. In spite of its "Alternate Universe" billing, elements of the original ''Evangelion'' make appearances: plugsuits, mentions of Gendo Ikari's research in creating an artificial human being, Ritsuko's past feelings for Gendo and visual and verbal references to Angels and Evangelions. The game is available in Japanese for Mac OS, Mac OS X, Windows and PlayStation 2. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neon Genesis Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel 2nd」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
