[QUOTE="PSP_DSL_ROX"][QUOTE="862986"]Hi everyone. My birthday is in a week and I wanted to buy a DS game. Can you recommend any good ones? Here's what I have and/or already played: New Mario Bros Dragon Quest V FF4 Chrono Trigger Mario Kart Phoenix Wright All 3 Pokemons Picross Meteos Metroid Prime Dementium RE DS Prof. Layton Please do NOT recommend: The World Ends With You - Simply put, I hate this game to Heaven and Hell. Zelda games - I couldn't care less about Zelda Megaman games - same as above. Any great game would do. Thank you.notyalemblem
It really depends on the style of games you most enjoy. From your list, I personally would go with New Super Mario Bros or Mario Kart, for two reasons really. One, I'm a big Mario fan and always like the Mario games, but also because I've found these games to have a lot of play, especially Mario Kart. Super Mario Bros is not one of the longest games and if you are good it doesn't take too long at all, but you have the option of playing through the entire games with both Mario and then Luigi once you complete the game and going back through the game to collect all the star coins is another way to get more reply value out of it. There are also mini games in New Super Mario Bros, obviously not as good as the game itself, but I found them to be quite fun and a nice way to pass the time, and again, a great reason to go back to the game once you completed it. As for Mario Kart, I personally found the game to be a tad on the easy side and a little short (especially compared to Mario Kart Wii) but it is still a lot of fun and as with most racing games it is something you can pick up and always have fun with. If you don't have another racing game on the DS, I highly recommend it. Aside from those games I also have Dementium and Professor Layton. I personally don't care for Dementium and will probably trade it in, but if you like that style of gaming you may like it. Professor Layton was a lot of fun and had a lot of interesting puzzles and a fairly good story. The game lasts a good amount of time and my only complaint about this game is that some of the puzzles were a bit too challenging and I did have to look some of them up online, even after getting the clues. If you like puzzles and are up for a good challenge, I think you will find the game to be a lot of fun, the puzzles you can download each week also make it a nice value, with the new Professor Layton game coming out it might also give you an idea for another game. Hope this helps!The list that 862986 gave was of games that he or she already owns / has played....Well, now I feel really stupid :oops: In that case a couple of games I have and really like are:
Docomodake! Boing: I found it to be a lot of fun and very addictive.
Yoshi's Island DS: If you like the series it is especially great, but I think it is a great platformer.
New Zealand Story Revolution: You may not be able to find it, but if you do, it is really inexpensive, so you may be able to get two games if you pick it up. I really liked the game and thought it was well worth playing.
Super Mario 64 DS: A great game, especially if you like Mario.
Games I've not played, but hear are good:
Henry Hatsworth in the Puzzling Adventure
Sonic Rush/Sonic Rush Adventure
Drawn to Life
Grand Theft Auto China Town Wars
Then there are some good ones that are a little older and may be hard to find, such as:
DK Jungle Climber
Yoshi's Island Touch & Go
Kirby Canvas Curse
Super Princess Peach
Mario & Luigi Partners In Time
Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
And as I mentioned originally, a new Professor Layton is coming, so if you liked the first you may want to consider it, unless you don't want to wait.
Sorry about mis-reading your post, I misread your original post and thought those were the games you were deciding between.
Hope this helps and have a great Birthday!
