Wonderful handheld adaptation!
To my welcome surprise this game is just as good as the PS2 version of the same game! The fundamental game works the same, and the levels are still pretty close. And how the developers delt with the DS's short comings in 3D worked out great with the 'cartoon' style graphics.
The story is interesting, and moves pretty quickly if you have played any previous THPS games.
The sound is great, and the music is also of decent quality for low quality mp3 files. Awesome that they were able to keep a wicked sound-track thats worthy of a THPS game.
Also, the COMPLETE lack of loading screens is awesome! Even the PS2 version hides the loading screens in the background during cut sceens, or an extra long opening sequence you can't skip! But on the DS. I guess thats what game cards give you!
The multiplayer is completley awesome! You really have to experiance it to play it!
I consider this an instant classic, and definatly one of my fav DS games!!!! And for $25 CAD at EBGames, how could you go wrong?!?!?!
