Hey, hey, don't be a hater. It wasn't supposed to be a lot like the other games in the series; it was more of a spin-off than anything.

In fact, I read somewhere on these boards that the reason it was a spin-off, and didn't include anything from the original plot, was because Hifumi Konou (sp? Anyway, the guy over the original two Clock Towers) wasn't able to be part of the project, so the guy who was over the project opted to not use any of Hifumi's plot elements out of respect for him, so as not to steal or butcher his story, or even just make it into something that, even if good, would still be taking Hifumi's intellectual creation away from him. And I seem to recall reading somewhere here that Hifumi appreciated that.

When you think of it that way, Clock Tower Ghost Head/The Struggle Within is one of the nicest gestures in entertainment History...usually, once somebody gets the rights/control over something, they couldn't care less about wrenching the original characters/plot out of the original creator's hands and using them as they see fit. So I'm actually pleased that Clock Tower GH/TSW's director wasn't like that. I haven't played it yet, but it's just a nice thought.

At least I think that's the case. Anyway, I'm off-topic with that, but since it'd come up, I figured it was worth commenting on. [redit][/redit]
