Don't be too hard on Myst DS. It is one of the best selling games in history, but it just doesn't cut it today.

This version of Myst is actually pretty good. Unlike some of the others who reviewed this game, I played the original Myst when it was really fresh and I loved it (along with millions of others)! The DS version has a few qerks, but overall, it is a fairly accurate representation of the original. Myst was never a fast paced game with great graphics, but it was a really original mystery / adventure built with the best tools available at the time.

What the lousy reviews show is just how far games have come. Here is a game that in it's day was the coolest game ever made. It was ground breaking, and addictive. Now, it apparently seems really lame to today's gamers - I get that.

Simply put, the concept of Myst has been improved upon at least ten times over since it's original release. This is one of those nastaliga things. If you were a fan of the original, you'll enjoy it. It isn't "abysimal", just quite a bit dated.
