Such a sweet game powered by the player

User Rating: 8.6 | Lost in Blue DS
this is such a nice little game. i read about it in Nintendo Power and instantly knew "I MUST HAVE THAT GAME!" i finally purchased a copy about 3 or 4 weeks ago, and i honestly haven't put it down. i feel guilty for ignoring Animal Crossing Wild World and Age Of Empires.

its true, at first, you'll probably die within a few hours. and then Skye will die. but then you'll get the hang of it. it really doesnt take very long to figure out how to take care of yourself.

its also really fun to go hunting and fishing, building things is fun too! and honestly, waking up every morning for a search for food is kind of fun. for some reason it never gets repetitive.

another great thing about Lost In Blue is that the action is powered by you. If you think that exploring the island and seeing whats going on there is cool, GREAT! thats awesome. If you think that hanging around your cave and fishing all day is cool, well, thats great too. there is no time limit, there is no goal you really HAVE to complete, i mean, it's ideal to find a way off the island, but you dont have to if you dont feel like it.

the sound is awesome. the music is nice and very mood setting. the gameplay is so simplistic it hurts. the best comparison is the gameplay of Animal Crossing. the graphics are nice and "happy" as my brother puts it. they characters in gameplay are very sweet and kind of doll-looking, in the scenes where you are talking to Skye (the girl you find) it switches to anime style characters (think along the lines of Trauma Centre: Under The Knife, except you dont have three years of text every time you talk).

all in all Lost In Blue is probably one of the most addictive and fun games i've ever played. the only reason i'll say its hard is because there are puzzles at one point in the game that will give you a headache.
