Best DS RPG that you've never played.

Children of Mana, Final Fantasy, and soon to be Zelda are all action/RPG games with histories of good games behind them. This game came out of nowhere and I've enjoyed it more than some console RPGs. The gameplay is familar, but the touch-screen bonus for casting is a nice touch. You move with the stlyus, which some people complain about, but I think it's fluid and easier than holding down a button. Touch a person, and your characters run over to the person and engage convo with them. Touch a gummy frog, and your character runs over and catches it.

The artistic style is nice. It's not too flashy with no content (see PSP games), but it isn't bland. The graphics aren't supurb, but there isn't much to complain about. You don't need to squint and think about something to realize what it is. Trees look like trees, rocket ships look like rocket ships, and otter pirates look like otter pirates.

The Animal People scheme isn't new, but there is enough funny dialouge with each NPC to give a gamer of any age a chuckle here and there. The music is fun, but not that fresh. You get bored of one song for all your battles.

Overall, it's easy to pick up, and hard to put down. I'm 14 hours into the game and juts taking my time, not really worried about beating it as much as I'm having fun with it. I recommend you do the same.
