Trace Memory

Not what it seems

As you boot up your ds and you select this game you are treated to a brilliant opening movie but then you start the game and you find out it is a boring very word based game. True there are some moments of genius when you use the Ds's systems to solve puzzles. The characters are dull and boring and the story is very ropey and in some points to convenient. Enviroment is pretty dull and the bottom screen with the birds eye view is very lacking. A very word based game where it is very easy to get stuck and it is not always clear what to do. But it does have some good moments.
