The General Purpose DS Thread Which Has An Excruciatingly Long Title

<< < (2/4) > >>

hypeserver:
I don't know rather to laugh that you even compared the ds to being semi next gen or the fact that the majority of the replies are as long as the original topic.

Valrus:
Well how do you define "next gen?" And what's wrong with long replies? I'm glad Gregs is posting detailed and well-thought-out reviews of DS games; the DS is also the only video game device I have, and I'm having the Dickens of a time figuring out what to buy for it.

If you don't have anything to add, think twice before posting. You may be on the road to getting a condescending "maybe you should lurk for a little bit and see how things work around here" message from one of the more established posters here.

Gregs, keep 'em coming. In particular, I've never played a Metroidvania game and I've always wanted to try one, and I didn't know one was available for the DS. So that's excellent that you mentioned it. Are there any Metroid DS games? As I understand it the current answer is "no," aside from the GBA ones.

Choco:
There is actually a Metroid game for the DS. It's called Metroid Prime: Hunters. It's not the traditional side scrolling Metroid, though. It's a 3D first-person-shooter/adventure, like its Gamecube counterparts, and serves as a bridge between the two titles. It got good reviews across the board, from what I have seen.

I've only had my DS since Christmas, so I haven't been able to get a whole lot of games for it, but I've got some loves for it:

Resident Evil: Deadly Silence - Yeah, it's basically a port of a ten year old game with some extra features, but fuck it: it's fun! I've been a Resident Evil junkie since the first time I played RE 2 and this was a picture perfect port of the classic. The extra little DS centric puzzles were fun, outside of the stupid chest matching stuff. The knife battles with the stylus are awesome as well, granting an extra layer to the combat. They even added in some extra horrible voicework for the record playing puzzle (Chris yelling "Awww yiiiiiah!" when you get it right is fucking hilarious).

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time - If you've played the original for GBA or the classic Super Mario RPG, you must get this game. It's great JRPG fun mixed with classic Mario gameplay with beautiful graphics. It gets corny at times, but it's a blast to play nonetheless.

I consider the next gen of video games to be the systems that came out recently. Like, last gen was GBA/SP, Gamecube, Xbox, and PS2. Next gen is PS3, 360, Wii, DS, and PSP.

To Valrus: the only Metroid on the DS is, as Choco pointed out, Metroid Prime: Hunters. Which I think is a piece of crap. They basically tried to make a Metroid Prime game for the DS, and it controls pretty badly. I never got into the Metroid Prime games at all, but I fucked around with Hunters for awhile and couldn't stand it. My opinion is biased, however, because I think that, just as with the Castlevania series, Metroid belongs in 2D. Please do yourself a favor and pick up the Metroid games for GBA. They are really damn good.
