Once in a while, there is an example of clipping of various layers of 3D geometrics, but this is inevitable when dealing with such complex models and mo-cap. When the Unreal Engine's physics engine isn't making her tie flip out like it is possessed by the ghost of Janet Reno, things usually look quite natural, such as the sway of Hikari's skirt and bounce of her ponytail. While not particularly 'realistic,' Hikari has been rendered pretty much in a similar aesthetic as seen in Bandai Namco's Tekken not quite 'anime,' but also not fully realistic - a comfortable middle ground to give her character and to avoid the uncanny valley.

The moment Hikari steps into her room it is clear that Bandai Namco did not spare any expense towards animation/mo-cap and attention to detail. When Summer Lesson begins, there is an impressive wow-factor. The enemy soldiers in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty have a much wider range of interactivity, and that was a title from 2001. With technology available today, it is sad to see all possibilities for interacting with a game character be whittled down to just two or three vague options. Users will not actually be interacting with Hikari in any real meaningful way, unlike any of the Sims titles or the Princess Maker games, which have gotten the idea right since the early 90s. The short version of Summer Lesson: Miyamoto Hikari is that it is a seated VR experience where a scripted 3D animation plays out and vague choices are made to result in an outcome.
