Nice graphics, something you expect from a first person shooter, and it really brings you back to the 70's. Well, to begin with, you need to tilt your DS 90 degrees in order to play (so that it looks more like a book), and its quite ridiculous.
And since its dated Won't say it's superb, but not a failure either. Nice music, but the positioning of your DS might spoilt it. Won't say it's superb, but not a failure either. Pretty good but still a lot of room for improvement. This game wont appeal to people who arent prepared to wade through the first couple of hours and dont have a LOT of patience. It is certainly a game worth owning if you are a fan of the genre and will hopefully open the door to bigger better things. I am only on chapter 4 so these are my first impressions really. The first 3 hours are extremely slow and the main character can be a little unlikeable, seemingly everytime you move it cuts to another long conversation but after chapter2 things start to open up a little. You have to do everything in a certain order, even if you see an obvious puzzle, or there is an item you want to pick up, you cant until you are at that part of the plot.
