To start it off I loved the story. A friend who dissapears, a ex L.A. cop looking for his friend, a Hotel that's more suspicious then friday's caserole, man it's a classic mystery/detective novel. The graphics are unique, everyone looks like a sketch you would see in a police notebook, this gives the story that MYSTERY feeling, if ya know what I mean. The game is long and compelling, you never know what will happen, one minute you're like I really don't care about this the next minute you're like oh SNAP that can't be true, all the dialogue seems to always be connected, which is good because it keeps you interested. There is ALOT of reading involved, it's almost like a book, strange because you hold it like a notebook, that's not bad or anything, but this game does have some real potential into becoming a book series. The puzzles in the game aren't very hard but there are times where you will become frustrated on not knowing what to do., I HATE THAT DON'T YOU! When walking around the hotel the camera seems a bit akward. I spend most of the time looking at the map on the touch screen then looking at the first person view on the normal screen. Since this game does take place in a hotel, be prepared for annoying repetitive hotel music. Alright let's rap this up.
Bottom Line: Although this game isn't flawless it's still pretty good, this is proabbly the only story I have actually paid attention to. If you like mystery, solving puzzles, and a good story you'll feel right at home with your DS on this one.
