User Rating: 9.5 | Kyokugen Dasshutsu 9 Jikan 9 nin 9 no Tobira: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors DS
One of my favourite DS games out this year, with a tremendous story, amazing and difficult puzzles and a large variety of different endings depending on the choices you make, or rather, the doors you open.(Literally)

Be prepared to do a lot of reading because this game is about 75% story and 25% actual gaming, I do not intend to mock the game, just pointing out exactly what is in it, the lack of playing, however, does not change my view of the game, Epic!

The story is based around 9 people, all who have an important part to play. It is mainly a remake of a "game" that happened some 9 years ago when all of them were just kids, one on a large ocean ship known as the Gigantic, the other on a makeshift ship on land.

The mastermind behind the game wishes to test human telepathy through a number of experiments, You play as a normal teenage boy who was abducted by a mysterious person by the name of "Zero." Your goal is to find the correct digital root(You'll get to know that means when you play the game) and get to door number 9, failing to do so will result in death...

Each of the 9 characters are given a wrist band, showing a number that which they can combine to open doors; once a door is open you have to get inside it and find a "DEAD" which will stop the 81 seconds countdown.

Amazing music played with complete mastery will never let you get bored, changing as you get into different situations.

Definitely at the top of my favourite DS game this year.
