Creepy design makes for an enjoyable DS experience

User Rating: 7 | Dementium: The Ward DS
Dementium is your typical survival FPS. You run around the many rooms and floors of the hospital, shooting down zombies and monsters with hopes of staying alive. You can find ammunition for a variety of weapons, including handguns, shotguns, and a sniper rifle. You can also find health to recover damage, but health and ammo cannot be stored, so make sure to grab them when you really need them and keep track of where they are. As the game progresses you will also find some puzzles blocking your way, such as having to find a key or entering a code on a keypad. Gameplay is fun, and the overall dark tone of the environments will keep you guessing what's ahead. Unfortunately, most of the game is very similar in design, with rooms and corridors all seemingly identical with little variation. Not a huge deal, but after a few hours of play the game feels just a bit repetitive.
