5 hours and it's done!

Fantastic story, nice plot premise, awesome visuals utilising the dual screen well, but I completed the game in just over 5 hours! Disappointing... I took the game back and traded it in for something else with a little more lastability.

Gorgeous manga/anime styled character visuals teamed with classic point and click gaming make for an enthralling experience. I thought that the storyline turned a tad too predictable toward the mid-section of the game, spoiling what could have been a game full of twists and turns plot-wise.

My advice? An excellent game to rent for a night and return the next day. The only saving grace with my copy was that I was able to take it back to the place of purchase and exchange --- my $69.95 wasn't a total waste!
For what it's worth, Trace Memory/Another Code:Two Memories kept me amused for 5 hours on a Saturday morning.
