Thoughts on the story: I felt that the story for the game was good from the beginning to the end. When you first start playing the game, you immediately get a feel for your favorite character that relates to someone your know or just gets you drawn into the story. I felt it was a little slow at first, but once I started playing, the story kept me captivated:

Gameplay: The game play for Luminous Arc hasn't broken any barriers, but is very well balance and fun. The battle system on how they select turns by speed gives you a chance to get the upper hand on your enemy. Although, I wish the ranks weren't preset for each character, its not enough to sour the great gameplay for luminous arc. Also, the side quest and online play makes for awesome replay value

Presentation: The presentation for this game was very detailed,vivid and eye-catching. The moment you start playing the game, The character voice-acting, scenery and dialogue through the game will keep you wanting more.

Overall, Luminous Arc is a solid game for the Nintendo DS. It's great replay value, presentation and overall mechanics makes this an great game to recommend for the nintendo ds
