Hotel Dusk

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
I bought this game thinking that it was going to be a great detective/puzzle solver type, and it is, but I was upset that there was a predetermined path laid out for you to follow. What I mean by this is that when talking with someone, you can ask questions when they come up, but if you end up asking the wrong one, or just don't ask anything at all, as soon as you walk away, Kyle will think to himself,"Oh, wait I should've asked ______" So, I felt that if it had had more possibilities of where to go it could have been better.

However, if you have something on you that you shouldn't when the hotel manager checks your pockets/belongings you can get kicked out, which I thought was cool because it added a sense of having to think before you pick something up. But, if you do get kicked out, you can just start from your last checkpoint, so it isn't much of a set back.

Basically, I'd recommend this game to people who liked Trace Memory, and games similar to it. It is a good game that utilizes the many functions of the DS and I enjoyed playing it.

Great until you get stuck

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
This game is great when it's great. The noir stylization is well considered, it makes great use of a lot of the DS's functionality, but there are certain moments when the next step in the story is so obfuscated that it becomes hard to move on. I've currently been stuck at one part of the story for almost a fruitless hour, which makes the game less fun for playing during a commute.

So, the game is really good, I'm happy to see something this sophisticated for the DS, just know there are some awkwardly difficult moments in the game.
