With most games these days taking place in huge 3D worlds, it is always fun to play a 2D game. What really makes this game fun and seperates it, is the dual screen. How many times have you played a game that has real potential for greatness to be derailed by constantly switching back and forth from the gameplay to the map screen. This is no more on the DS. Konami put the map on the top screen. So you can play and easily tell where you need to go without toggling back and forth. This is a huge benefit in towards the gameplay. I loved it.
The graphics where very well done. There is no dead spots or slowdowns. Everything just moves well and looks like it belongs. Plus, the layering of the graphics gives it an almost 3D feel.
The story is where this game lacks a little bit. It flows pretty well, but that is not the major selling point of this Vid. I enjoyed it and it made sense, but if the story was little stronger it would have pushed this game over the top.
I would recommend this game to any DS owner. While the story is not the strongest, the gameplay on dual screen makes up for it and then some.
