An adventure that has very intresting puzzles and story, but is way too short and not very hard.

Trace Memory is an adventure game that uses the DS in some very creative ways, but because of the same old soundtrack, very easy puzzles, and short story this adventure game for the DS becomes very bland after the 2nd or 3rd chapter. You are Ashley. A girl, who is, turning 14. She receives a DTS, which looks like a DS, come in the mail. The package is from her dad who has been dead for almost 10 years or so she thinks. She also gets a note from her dad saying to meet him on Blood Edward Island. As soon as you get there, your father is nowhere to be seen and then your Aunt Jessica just disappears. A little bit later a ghost named D comes and asks if you can help find his memories. You help D and you learn about Blood Edward Island and the events that happened and how D died.

The graphics in this game are all right considering it’s a DS, but the anime drawings are very good. It’s like a lot of adventure games most of them have pre-rendered backgrounds and don’t really do anything.

The sound was one of the issues I had with Trace Memory. The music is the same recycled song for hours. And the sound isn’t very great you got basic noises, but then the only other sound is the noise the text makes and the “OH MY GOD! WE JUST FOUND SOMETHING OUT!” noise which you get to hear every time D finds something out.

The puzzles are one thing that is good and bad. Lets talk about the good. This game has very interesting puzzles in it that use the DS to its full capabilities, but the bad thing is that the puzzles are way too easy. This might be good for some people, but for me it wasn’t, especially if you spent $20 for a 4-hour game.

The story for Trace Memory is good, but it is just to short and could at be a little longer.
This game is very short and could be beat in at least 4-hours.

Trace Memory is a good game all around but dig deeper and their really isn’t anything new to the adventure genre at all.
