Fun Game, but Over-rated
Graphics are bright, colorful, and generally attractive, but I don't feel they make use of the DS's available power, not to mention there is some pixelation, and attack animations leave alittle to be desired. Overall though, graphics are good.
Sound Is fine, it doesn't really stick out in my mind as being anything really bad.
Gameplay is solid, if you take the opportunity to learn all the nuances it is a fairly deep strategy game. In fact I think the depth is perfect, anymore intensive and it would not be ideal for a portable system.
Storyline is alittle on the generic story and can be boring. The character design is good and at least they have distinct personalities, but I never really cared about them.
If you want a strategy game, then this is a worthile candidate, but do not expect a masterpiece. This is a good, solid game, BUT it is not a AAA title.
