They really needed to work on a piece of software that was designed for the DS only. But, my friend loves the game and this doesn't look like a bad place to start.
I have to say having played the earlier titles, a map would be great - for these random battle games, not having one means you'd end up running in circles - good for leveling up, bad for hair pulling aggravation
While it has gotten easier as the games have gone on (with colored walkways, signs and PETS/landmarks) it is still hard to remember where you've been or if you're going in circles or walking back to some other area where you don't want to go.
or maybe it's just me, i always tend to get lost in dungeon based games when their is no map.
anyways the game looks pretty much the same as the last one (which is still good) except for the bottom menu screen, i sure hope that screen is really animated because right now it looks fugly.
