Nintendo DS Top 10

<< < (3/8) > >>

Jackie Blue:
Animal Crossing is the devil.  It will consume your soul.  Not only did my girlfriend and I waste hundreds of hours on the Gamecube version, but like a crack-addicted monkey I couldn't resist the DS one.

It's not actually fun in any identifiable way, I have no idea what the appeal is.  All I know is collecting furniture has never been more fun.

The game really hasn't aged well, or maybe I just can't play that game anymore.  I recall enjoying it tremendously on my emulator back in the day, and I think it comes down to the fastforward button on ZSNES.  I feel like the battles are needlessly drawn out and there's nothing you can do to speed it up.  It made me pretty sad.

DS games I have played and liked:
Advance Wars: Dual Strike - this is a very very good game for the first few continents.  Then you realise you are playing basically the exact same easy game four times (I think?) and then jumping into the harder area.  I couldn't really fight the fatigue before things got interesting.  I tried to persist, but I lost patience with the story mode.  I still had a lot of fun with the skirmish modes, though.
Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass - this is probably one of the best games I've ever played.  It is very simplistic in some places, but very fun everywhere else.  The way it leverages on skills learned recently then requires combinations of those skills at later areas is pure Zelda, of course.  I just didn't expect it to be so well done and integrated with the DS control set.
New Super Mario Brothers - It is a Super Mario Bros game on the DS.  Woo!


DS games I have played and did not like:
Brain Training - This was interesting for a little while, but then I scored a perfect 21 one time when I was hyped up on caffeine and ever since it's been boring.  You play the same minigames over and over again.  Every now and then you get a new one.  Great.
Final Fantasy III - too fucking slow.  Not enough to do.  I know that It's a remake of a very old game, but it *feels* like it and I am not quite sure why they released it again when the RPG world has pretty much moved on.
Trauma Center - This was an interesting idea, but I got really really sick of the cliches and being able to predict when my patient was going to mysteriously semi-explode in the middle of an operation.  I also *really* didn't appreciate the bullshit with the fish.  I was expecting to do operations, not shoot at fucking fish with a laser.


I've played a bit of the following games and I'll give you my half-thoughts:
Final Fantasy XII: Whatever the fuck - I have mixed feelings about this one.  On the one hand it shows some promise and will probably tide me over until FFTA2 comes out in English.  On the other hand it is SO FUCKING SLOW to get through all the bullshit story bits and there is no way to speed up the dialogue.  As a matter of fact as far as I can see there are no options whatsoever, which is extremely annoying.
I have played a little bit of Drawn to Life but I am not really sure it is a game targeted at me, so I don't think I can talk about it at all.
FIFA08 - I have mucked about with the manager mode in this quickly while waiting for the train.  It is pretty hard to get used to the controls and how things are supposed to be done.  I wasn't expecting the exact same thing as FIFA on the PS2, but I was expecting something similar enough that it didn't seem like an entirely different game.

jmrz:
Okay, here are a few that I have played:

New Super Mario Brothers - Basically, a lot of fun. Has lots of replay value if you are the type of person to want to complete everything completely. Great game.

Super Mario DS - This one is essentially a remake of Super Mario 64. Except different. There are some weird things that were never in the 64 version, but it is still pretty fun.

Tetris DS - If you love tetris, this is great. It is the one game that I can honestly say I have played the most on my DS. Great with multiplayer, great when playing on your own and definitely fun when you are versing the CPU. I love it.

drawn to life is very cute because you get to draw your own character and some of the game elements. i still get happy when i see a cloud platform in the game and i think 'awww... i drew that cloud!' however, as a platformer it is seriously mediocre, if even that. the storyline is lame and the game itself isn't very creative. the only appeal of the game is drawing your own stuff, which for me is enough. and since you're wondering, yes, i'm sure that you could find a way to fit a giant dong inside the character template box so that you could play as a giant walking phallus. if that's your thing. my character is a cat.

i also suggest yoshi's island. i just got it yesterday and it is really fun. i also recently got my word coach, which if you are lame and like vocabulary like i do is also a good game.
