Trace Memory

Decent game with mediocre gameplay but a good story. Worth a rental.

User Rating: 8.2 | Another Code: Futatsu no Kioku DS

By jdclanc | Review Date: November 2, 2005

Gameplay: The point and click adventure game isn't my cup of tea, but if you like the genre you will like this. However, it is much easier than a game like Myst.

Graphics: The still animation shots are great, but the 2-D overhead shots are bad.

Sound: Great music. Sets the mood perfectly.

Value: Very short, 5-6 hours, but it seemed longer. Some replay value if you want the good ending. I just read the spoliers. Rent it if you can.

Tilt: The story felt somewhat mediocre as I played, but by the end I felt very satisifed. Enjoyable experience overall.
