Repetitive and lacking a "real" multiplayer system.

User Rating: 5 | From The Abyss DS
"From the Abyss" had great potential to be something more. It failed completely.

On the solo play side of things the adventure is great for the first few levels. After that this game becomes repetitive motion and fails to hols the gamers interest.

On the multiplayer side of things is where this game held the most potential. But the two player co-op is week and only allows you to play on levels that have been completed by dragging yourself through the boring level in solo play. And to add insult to injury is that after you complete that level of the abyss with a friend it promptly disconnects you. No level progression and no help to your solo adventure. A real let down to say the least.

The graphics are nice and very colorful but that won't save you from the pver bearing repetitive levels you will face. I was very dissapointed.

The magic and attack skills you obtain on your adventures is cool but not worth the effort and most of them will rarely be used.
