Pokemon Rangers maybe? It's not exactly run around and slaughter everything buts it's more intense than other pokemon games.

There are some....mostly 2D though...you can try... [ 3D ]: - Phantasy Star Zero - Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates - Elebits: The Adventure of Kai and Zero - The Lord of the Rings: Conquest (Terrible imo....) [ 2D ]: - Summon Night Twin Age - Children of Mana These games are in Real-time and navigation is all-round (not horizontal)....

exactly what I was looking for... those games look pretty tight, esp the FF and the phantasy star.... but I think thats japan release only for now right? I'm gonna see whats up with all of those... BTW I tried bangai but after lasting only 5 seconds I couldn't really give it a chance, I'll try to learn that one... :)

thanks though appreciate the list

Back in the mid-1990s when Sony brought out the PSOne, a sort of definition happened where in an effort to distance themselves, Sony went aggressively towards all games being 3D in nature and eshewing 2D in every way possible in order to distance themselves from the "Old Guard" of Nintendo and Sega (who had made a righteous little empire off of 2D, by the way)... and the same sort of division holds today when it comes to the two company's hand-helds.

Although there are FPS and the like on DS, 3D is not something the hardware has been pushed all that hard to perform. When you pick up a DS, you know that there's going to be crazy gameplay and rich, vibrant creativity but you also know that for the most part it's not going to be anything like the Sony experience...

... and that's why I feel very lucky to own both...

... I'm suprised no one has mentioned the port of "Super Mario 64" as a possible surrogate, but with that exception, looking for a "Ratchet & Clank"-style game on a Nintendo product is not gonna happen. I think the hardware is capable of performing something passably close to "R&C", I'm just saying that their focus is different. That's why there's a great port of "Mortal Kombat" on the DS, tons of "Castlevania" to be had in DS & GBA cart form. Each brand dabbles in the other system's pool (PSP has a great "Street Fighter", DS has a whalin' "MarioKart", etc., etc.), but for the most part you go to one for a given gaming experience not the other.

Sorry.:?

I've tried castlevania but did not really like it... started chrono trigger last night and I'm lovin it.

Kingdom Hearts is coming to the DS and incase you want to fill that void, there's a KH game on Gameboy Advance that was pretty fun, but I've never played the original PS2 versions..
