ADDICTIVE-I'm highly addicted to it. At first i was questioning whether i should open it. Now i cant even put it down!!!
It was given to me as a present, with the price tag still on it. Because the price tag was still on it, i was given a choice to a) return it and buy something else with the store credit. or b) keep it, and just leave it in my expanding Games Library. I didn't even think i would even play it even just a little. Little did i know however, how much my first impressions were wrong.

The concept of surviving after an accident on a deserted island just happens to appeal me. Find shelter, find food, find drinkable water, and get all the little necessities for life. Not to metion, search the island and find away to get home.
The only thing that really gets to me, however, is the buttons. No, its not that difficult to get used to the buttons, but it seems to be really annoying that there are only two 'action' buttons. One is for the weapon/tool you have equiped. If you have a spear equipped, you can only use that action button when it is necessary. The other 'action' button is usually depended on the terrain and your position. For example, if you want to jump, you'll have to be in the exact position so the 'action' will turn to 'jump.' This is annoying because if you're not exactly on the position, then you'll probally end up doing another action.
The graphics are one of the best i've seen. I was highly impressed by the graphics, as they are quite smooth for a DS game.
The sound is also great. it has sounds of an island, which sets the mood. This game is well at a great price for a great game. Ever since i've got this game, i have never been able to put it down.
