Not as good as PC games

I'm a fan of the ND pc games and the other DS games have been all right. I thought with a new developer (THQ), it would have been pretty interesting and different however, the game was incredibly bad. I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone and please, anyone reading this, DO NOT WASTE *edit* BUCKS ON THIS, IT WASN'T WORTH IT AT ALL. The only good part of the game were the graphics, which were actually not bad. However, it goes all downhill from there. The controls are annoying and its kind of hard to get around. Even more annoying is the game-play. Throughout the game all you do is find missing items which isn't challenging at all. It took about 20 minutes to beat and there was no challenge at all. PLEASE save yourself the regret and avoid this game at all costs. For a game that would be better is mystery case files millionheir, it's like the hidden staircase but a lot better, you have to find objects all over the place.
