This oddlly named DS is crazy, stupid fun, even though it might fall behind par sometimes.
User Rating: 6.7 | Touch the Dead DS
Remeber House of the Dead? Of course you do, that's the game that stole your $50 in quarters. Now, take the formula and slap it on the DS. That's Touch the Dead, a crazily intense rail shooter. The game has NO PLOT. WHAT SO EVER. NONE. That is actually a low point, I would have prefered some more characters to add the cheese, but whatever. The gameplay itself is crazy. You spend most of the game tapping the touch screen like never before. The shooting is good, but the reloading is a little disapointing. You have to manually take a clip to your barrel, and then your character reloads. So, this can take time. But, for what the developers had to work with, it's passable. Normally zombies are uber fodder, right? Not in this game. The zombies are tough. The zombies jerk around, making a headshot a true test of skill and nerve. This is a hard game, and I only suggest it to people who have the enduracne for the extremly hard challenges.
All, in all, TTD is fun. Sure, the graphics look terrible, and there is no plot; but zombie slaughter is zombie slaughter after all.
