Fun, short, re-playable.

I bought this game last night, and even though I am half done in a mere 2 hours, it's good for a hand-held game. The complete reliance on the stylus makes you actually have to pay attention and keeps you doing some cool linked attacks. One thing i really, really liked was the Ninpo powers having to be traced to be activated, that was a VERY good feature that made the game just a bit cooler. One problem i had was my hand getting in the way of the screen when walking over some maps. One thing that stumped me for a few minutes (until i realized that it was there) was the microphone to wake that guy up in Chapter 2. I was frustrated till i finally exclaimed "WAKE UP YOU PRICK" and he jumped, reminding me of the microphone. The graphics for a hand-held are good as well. It has set a good base for more DS games to come. I say Bravo Tecmo, Bravo.
