I am hooked on this game, even though it is a short lived adventure.
User Rating: 8.4 | Lost in Blue DS
I rented this game and I haven't sent it back yet! This game does what a lot of those mini-game *WarioWare* games have tried to do in a better less exploited way. The DS has unique capabilities and its great to see the developers finally putting some thought into the details and uses for the hardware. When I play Lost in Blue I dont feel like I have to go further or play long, I like that. It's nice to actually have a game that goes at my pace. You could probably spend all of your time never exploring further into the islands deep forest, jungle and even the ruins and still enjoy the experience. The game however does progress as you want it, like opening up a new area and being able to reach it or building something only after you talk to your friend and see a need for it.
Not too many games out there give the gamer a sense of control. Lost in Blue does that, although it seems like it was too much control from time to time, I did find myself venturing further into the islands areas and found that overall this may just be the best game on the DS to date.
I would say overall - 8.4 with the graphics and gameplay being the best two things about this game. I really enjoyed the hunting and fishing aspects as well as the search and find feel of the game.
