Not too bad of a score. Looks like A LOT of DS games will use GBA cartridges for extras.

 

[BuddyC]

7.5

 

[skip]

I cannot understand how people are liking this game.

 

[Rhindle]

I see the tradition of mediocre GBA games is carrying over nicely to the DS.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Hey, it is better than the Ngage version!

 

[WarPig]

Seven and change, the classic wishy-washy launch game score. We gave out a shitload of seven-somethings at the PS2 launch. Most of them to games that, in retrospect, deserved a swift beating.

DFS.

 

[Eggo]

It's all over! Sell your DS.

 

[Grubdog]

Damn, oh well, i'm still looking forward to playing this, it's gotten better impressions and reviews everywhere else and the videos look awesome.

Ok after reading the review the game sounds very good, the 7.5 doesn't quite match the text.

 

[Marty Chinn]

The game is ok if you odn't mind find X amount of things in the huge ass level where you spend more time finding the last one than you found the rest of them.

I'm impressed by it as a tech demo. It's 60 fps and the 3D elements are surprisingly well-done. DS isn't as weak as I expected.

The game design is not as nifty.

yeah it's EA. But atleast the DS has EA support. Casuals will buy this one.

 

[LowTecky]

Why the fuck is this 40 bucks

 

[demi]

Why the fuck is this 40 bucks

it's a trap

 

[Eggo]

Why the fuck is this 40 bucks

OMG, DS games are $40? That's ridiculous. It's GBA launch all over again. Hold out for 2 months till the fever wears off and we get the $30 sticker these games deserve.

Hah!

Where is the "All DS games are 30 bucks 'cause Nintendo said so!" crowd now?!

 

[BenT]

Hey, those nifty DS cases are made from premium-grade plastics. That's not free!

(Quite seriously, the cases rule. I want to convert my GBA collection to them.)

 

[AirBrian]

Nintendo said "as low as $30". Their games are $30. EA and others are choosing to sell at a higher price.

If you don't like it, don't buy the more expensive games. They'll learn soon enough.

Do you ever fucking read? Jesus Christ.

I remember saying myself that games would be $20-$40 depending on what theyw ere. Nintendo games would be $30, cheap low development games (Ping Pals) would be lower, and third parties would be all over the place. Most of the launch titles are $30 though I believe, with a couple at $40. I swear, I know you like trolling, and you hate Nintendo. But can you have some fucking sense?

Quite possible, actually. For some reason, the DS cases each have a space for a GBA cart:

And you can buy blank DS cases from Nintendo's site:

Sell your preordered DS it's all over.

....that's it?

 

[Mrbob]

That's all. No more needed to be said. You misinterpret my posts so I don't feel the need to comment further. If you ever looked at my post history you would realize I <3 Nintendo and all of their ventures.

 

[Hollywood]

okay .. if i get a DS what am I supposed to buy besides Mario? Nothing is standing out.

So is Super Mario 64 x 4 only $30? Wow if true

You have hit on the exact two reasons why I made my statement. ^_^

GameSpy has a nifty little feature on the cases today.

According to EBGames:

...and every other retailer (in the U.S. at least).

Very well, you could quite be right about your entire stance on Nintendo. I don't go into many non-handheld threads. But as far as the DS goes... I can't recall a single decent post by you.

Import Mr Driller.

 

[borghe]
