 Posted: Fri May 09, 2008 12:05 am Post subject: Need Opinion on Several DS Games |
 |
|
Okay, so my mom said that I wasn't allowed to get a new DS game until I beat at least one. I'm currently planning on the next game I should get and I can't decide on any of the ones I would like to play so I thought I would get your opinions on the following:
The World Ends with You
Pokemon Ranger
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2
Kirby Squeak Squad
Kirby Canvas Curse
Transformers Autobots
Jam Sessions
Digimon World Dawn/Dusk
Animal Crossing: Wild World
If there are any other suggestions you want to make, I'd be happy to know. |

I haven't played any of those, but I heard that The World Ends with You is very good.

| Get The World Ends With You. It's really, really good. By far the best game Square Enix has published on the DS (OK, admittedly that isn't hard considering their other DS titles are crap). |

Hard to advise as tastes differ so much and you've covered a broad range of genres. The gentle calm of Animal Crossing must be the total opposite of the button mashing frenzy in World Ends With You!
I recently got World Ends With You, assuming it would be a more 'grown up' game than most stuff that comes out for DS. (yeah, I'm Ye Ancient Olde Gamer...). I was totally wrong - the presentation seems completely aimed at the teenage market, perhaps even the younger end of that. The game is strong on hip-Japanese culture, trendy-teen fashion, J-Pop soundtrack and the kewl dood teen speak is more-or-less unintelligble to me  (
I admit to having neither any knowledge or any interest in any of these things. However....after a shaky first couple of hours (the game is confusing at start - perhaps deliberately), I'm now really enjoying it!! Fighting on 2 screens at once seems a crazy concept, but is uniquely satisfying when you finally *get* it. And I'm even enjoying the J-Pop 
So I can recommend this game if you're prepared to try something very different. Looking at your age, you'd probably understand what the kids are saying, too!
Pokemon is Pokemon, I'm sure you know what you're getting there.
My son regularly plays "Canvas Curse", I think it's supposed to be one of the best Kirby games. Apparently like the GBA Kirby but makes good use of the NDS styles & screems.
Animal Crossing is virtually a must-have for DS. But very, very slow going. My children and I all have had our own Animal Crossing towns for over a year now. (how sad is that?) As single player, it's a bit too dull, you really need WiFi and others to connect to to bring out the best in it.
Don't know about Digimon. Isn't it supposed to be a more 'grown up' Pokemon style?

I don't know about 'more grown up', but yes, it does have a lot more action than Pokemon. What's funny though, is that a lot of people my age and older seem to love it more than younger kids (just like Transformers). |

Get Canvas Curse as it's a really good game, though it becomes a bit tedious after a while and the menu screens put me off.

Transformers Autobots is baaaaaaaaaaaad, mainly cause it's cursed with being linked to that crappy "bayformers" movie lol, but in regard to the game, the difficulty is beyond stupidly hard, and the custom feature the game brags about, only lets you change mode THATS it

totally agree. i lost 3 very solid months playing before i managed to kick it. i stopped playing when i had about 10 million bells, at that point there was nothing left to do. trading was fun but pointless when you have more bells than you can possibly spend  |

The one in the list that I enjoyed most is The World Ends With You. It's a serious RPG though, and doesn't seem to fit in with the other ones you've listed. What ManErg has said about it sums it up fairly well, but it is an amazing game if you get into it.
The two pokemon ones are okay, not too bad, but not amazing. I preferred ranger. I never got particularly far in either of them though. The second (more recent) dungeon game has a better quiz to pick your pokemon. The dungeon game is (obviously) a dungeon fighting type game, and ranger is more of an RPG adventure type one.
Don't get the transformer game. Really. Not worth the money.
And I haven't tried any of the other ones, so I can't help you much with them I'm afraid.
