Adventure game gone portable
User Rating: 7.9 | Another Code: Futatsu no Kioku DS
This is the first game I had actually bought for the DS when I got it since it was the cheapest game they had at Toys r Us. The game while really doesnt have any replayability is a very enjoyable game in the likes of a much easier myst type game. The games story at its most basic description is you play as a girl named ashley who receives a letter from her father who she always thought had been dead to meet him on Blood Edward Island and through most of the game you are looking for him. Throughout the game you are accompanied by the ghost of a boy who doesnt remember how he died or much else and through the game she and him remember more of the past. The story is actually pretty deep for a game like this, I mean on a portable system!? The games puzzles while pretty easy for someone whos played this type of game are really well done. The puzzles use almost all the functionality that the ds can do. One that stood out to me is having to tilt the top screen over the bottom to reflect the above images into the bottom! One thing that somewhat bothered me is you cant actually pick up an item you need until your character knows you need it.. so you would have to find the area where u would have to use an item then go back and find it in a place you had already checked. The games graphics are problary as good as they can be for the artwork and scenery but the top down view that u use while walking around doesnt look that great. THe sound effects are alright i guess but there is no voices which is to be expected but the music through most of the game is pretty good. If u can find it for fairly cheap and u like adventure games its worth a try.
