Possibly one of the best shooters out there for the DS.
User Rating: 8.8 | Brothers In Arms DS DS
If you own a copy of Metroid Prime: Hunters (or at least the demo) you know that shooters can be great on the DS. Since then, there hasn't really been a great shooter on the DS. Now gameloft (a well known cell phone game maker) has tried to make the next great shooter for the DS. Suprisingly enough, it's a pretty good (abeit short) shooter that's graphics push the DS to it's limits. Presentation: Top Notch. From a plane crashing into a field some 200 yards away from where you landed to being almost overwhelmed by soldiers trying to kill you from all sides this game has all the intensity of games like Call of Duty. Also, the graphics and sound also add to the intensity and make the world seem almost believeable. Gameloft has made a port of the cell phone game Brothers in Arms 3D that looks amazing and sounds great to boot.
Gameplay: Changing weapons,reloading, preforming actions. zooming in and throwing grenades are easy and almost become second nature. Controlling your character and looking around can be a bit sluggish and frustraiting at times but after the first few missions you hardly notice it. You can also hide behind cover by simply just walking into it (like GRAW 2 or Gears of War). Overall the AI is a bit weak but there are so many of them at times you'd still die. Overall the game play is ok, but sometimes a bit tricky to control.
Overall: Great graphics, gameplay and sound. Definitely a buy for any fan of shooters.
