A more perfected version of the original.
The gameplay is, as you may know, survival / horror, and im sometimes tempted to put Puzzle in there too. In this mansion, zombies lurk, giant spiders crawl, and the occasional chimera attack. You must learn how to conserve your limited resources, and read files on occasion for clues on how to solve the puzzles. The puzzles shouldn't be too complex for the veterans of the series, but for the new comers, it may seem a bit harder. The gameplay should be a lot of fun, as long as you dont get stumped on a harder puzzle.
The game looks far better then the original in my opinion. The first person knife fights are grainy and pixelated, but other then that it looks great. In classic mode, you wont have to deal with the random knife fights so graphics shouldnt be even the slightest of a problem to the average ds owner.
Personaly, i think the games sound is the greatest seen in any ds game. The nasty blood gushing sound to the music, it all sounds good, and it is pretty funny listening to the horrible voice acting, but its not really the games fault, the actors were horrible and its a conciderably old game, making me want to lower my standards on voice acting.
This is my favorite ds game yet. After only a week or so of having it, i have been hooked and probrably have more hours logged into this game then any other ds game (unless were talking castlevania ^_^). If your a fan, or if you have the money BUY THIS GAME... no gamefly, or anything like that... simply buy it...
