Most of these games are 2D, for obvious reasons (to display manga-style art). Bishōjo games which contain adult content should be referred to as "H-games". Most bishōjo game do not have adult content, centering only around attractive females, though this can vary extremely. Some criticisms of these games include:
* Women are almost always "perfect"
* Women, even in adult games, may be under 18. This is legal since the images are not photographs. Most bishojo games involve minors, aging from 14-17, and some "lolita" games involve even younger children.
* Some bishōjo games are very disturbing in content
