I been playing Hotel Dusk a lot as of lately , the game is very well done and shows why the Nintendo Ds continues to take over the portable world. From the first time you turn on your Ds and put Hotel Dusk in you’ll notice the beautiful art direction they took this game with its unique design style, the way everything is drawn and scenery is so nice you really feel like your taken back to the year 1970 when everything in this game is taking place. You’ll play as an ex cop name Kyle Hyde who is trying to track down his ex partner named Bradley who got shot and was no where to be found after that and your basically looking to answers to what ever happened to him after that night which leads you to Hotel Dusk.
Hotel Dusk takes great advantage of the DS with its beautifully done 3D Hotel in one way it feels like you’re playing Resident evil at times how when you’ll be searching for items and opening doors you can’t feel like this has a slight Resident Evil feel to it, yet of course you won’t be surprised attacked by zombies. The way you walk around with either the D-pad or Touch Screen is done perfectly. You hold the Ds like a book so when you do walk around you’ll have a map on the right side (Touch Screen) and on the Left is the whole virtual world which you’ll be able to see through a First Person view which is very nice to see with the beautifully rendered graphics. The game doesn’t stop at its well crafted art and game design it also has a very well written story almost as if you were reading an interactive novel. It catches a sense of mystery and a slight feel of a creepy horror aspect to it at times, with great writing for all the characters you’ll encounter. Each one is interesting and has their own secrets that you can’t wait to read and uncover the truth behind hind everyone and find out what has happened 6 months ago at Hotel Dusk and find out new things from each of the guest currently staying at the hotel. Now as your progress through the game the Puzzle are also quite interesting and make you think a lot at times which is always good makes you feel smart when you complete something. Although I must say the game is hard at times were you’re just like how on earth would I know to do that and go there. This is when you'll go to yourself, thank you Gamefaqs.com for helping me on that. Overall I think this is a great new game for the Ds and suggest anyone to give it a try if you’re looking for a new thriller, adventure game which is kind of in a category of its own to just relax with and enjoy the story you’ll uncover with Hotel Dusk.
Sorry for such a long preview of the game from me, but I have a lot to say about it and it really is hard to get the point about the game without trying it. So what I’m really trying to say is pick up and give this game a try.
