I just got it a few days ago and I'm pretty impressed. I'm surprised that no one has so much as mentioned it (well, that I've seen at least). I'd like to point it out to those that have not heard of it. Great for any RPG fan(most likely WRPG fans, but check it out either way).

I was looking forward to it, but it tanked in reviews (bad controls?). It fell off my radar.

Controls dissappointed me a little. everything is just fine, except one thing. There are 2 types of atack : one with L button and one with R button. Controls are similar to Call of duty. But wtf, how to press R button while you hold stylus??!! Answer is simple. You can touch the touch screen for atack or use a,b,x and y buttons instead of stylus.

BUt here goes another problem. If you use touch screen to atack, you cant never know, when you will do L atack and when you will do R atack. its confusing, but i haven't finded out everything about controls yet.

Stopped caring after the bad reviews. Seems like it has lots of problems I hoped it wouldn't have.

Official reviews seem to go directly against player reviews. Players praise the game, while reviewers bash it. This disparity makes it quite questionable : I'm guessing the game's controls and gameplay doesn't work on everyone, mainly because of a physical constraint (simultaneous stylus and button usage). Reviewers seem to have a problem with this, while players report it being handled just fine. Maybe it has something to do with the size of the hands (the DS can be pretty cramped when playing First-Person Perspective titles), and the person's own dexterity/flexibility?

I think that's a good point, I could see how some may have trouble with it. First person melee is not a strong point for the DS in general really. That being said, they did a great job with what they had in my opinion. If you ignore the "R" button attack(not very important to gameplay), and play it like a normal FPS, then it handles pretty much the same as MPH and CoD.

So you're saying the controls aren't bad enough to interfere with overall game play? It seems boss battles would be a little tricky.

I actually had no problems at all with the controls. The only real problem I think is the "R" button attack, but you don't actually need to use it(it seems to have the same attack power that the L buttons does, just a different animation). They set up the controls so you could use either the stylus or the face buttons to look around so I'm surprised that anyone has a problem with them. Your hand may start to hurt after hours and hours of gameplay, but that's a problem with the DS Lite/DSi in general, so I don't think it's fare to blame that on the controls.
