Bigfoot Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 IGN's review for Touch Detective put me off big time. Illogical puzzles are just not my bag, baby. A challenge eh? I'm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linkjing Donuts Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Picked up Touch Detective. The game is pretty awesome. It's like Phoenix Wright with more detective work than court stuff, and its five times funnier. Not far enough to judge the puzzles, but so far so good.

Kitsuta Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 IGN's review for Touch Detective put me off big time. Illogical puzzles are just not my bag, baby. A challenge eh? I'm game. Not I. I love adventure games, but illogical puzzles(LOL BUTTERFLY = SANDMAN!) can turn any adventure game into torture. Why can't there be any good adventure games for the DS? Or any console for that matter? I want something like Quest for Glory, King's Quest, or Ultima, dammit!* *Only, y'know, without the sudden deaths, horrible speed bugs, dead ends that require you to restart the game, and absurd triggers.

UnforgivingEdges Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 IGN's review for Touch Detective put me off big time. Illogical puzzles are just not my bag, baby. Frankly, their 3.0 for God Hand has completed their move into my view that their website is an utter joke. IGN review scores mean nothing to me anymore. God Hand is awesome. And Touch Detective is, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Phoenix Wright 2 is out in Japan and from what I've read, has a full English translation. Woohoo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega12 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Snap... I might just pick me up a copy while here then! Do you think I should play the first one before the second one? As in, do you think there is any continuity between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm not sure what cases are included in 2 yet (haven't been able to "import"), but if you can play the first one first, then I don't see why you wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vega12 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Well, I ask because I can't play the first one... at least not until I find an English copy when I return to Canada... But I'll probably end up getting it and beating it before 1 anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWarp Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 And the best new DS game is... wha? Never saw that one coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KakTheInfected Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Sweet...the English text even comes with the English "Objection!" ...makes no sense that the American version isn't coming out to next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonmaster_Alex Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Sometimes I hate not having a job. I am saving my money for upcoming events, even though I really want a lot of the games that are coming out. I'm pretty patient, but you guys aren't helping. Sell drugs. IGN's review for Touch Detective put me off big time. Illogical puzzles are just not my bag, baby. Frankly, their 3.0 for God Hand has completed their move into my view that their website is an utter joke. IGN review scores mean nothing to me anymore. God Hand is awesome. And Touch Detective is, too. Too bad that IGN's review could hurt sales. And the best new DS game is... wha?Never saw that one coming. Fuck. Seriously, Tony Hawk games are fun but the amount of changes is hardly ever enough. This one, surely, is a great deal of fun...but how could it beat the Wii version?

chocobo150 Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I'm not sure what cases are included in 2 yet (haven't been able to "import"), but if you can play the first one first, then I don't see why you wouldn't. From the size of the game, it doesn't look like that there will be any specific DS cases like the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the new case in PW1 even if it did seem a bit out of place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 And the best new DS game is... wha?Never saw that one coming. Gee, that's why we shouldn't trust IGN. Mind, as long as I'm here, did anyone find their review for Crash Boom Bang to be a little harsh? I mean, I am fully aware that it's going to be a heavily awkward game to go through, but everyone else seems to be giving it mainly 4s according to GameRankings. Surely, the people at IGN are denying the thought that it can't be worse than Bomberman: Act Zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnforgivingEdges Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Again, IGN is a joke. I find Gamespot to be a far better barometer of game quality, as they usually are far tougher with their reviews, and games they give a 7 are usually very good.

KakTheInfected Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Yes, it can't be possible that a Tony Hawk game got a good rating because Tony Hawk games are notorious for being un-fun. Do I even need to tag this with /sarcasm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Tempora Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 And the best new DS game is... wha?Never saw that one coming. Then you obviously never played much of the first one. The Tony Hawk DS games control great and have beautiful graphics (and run at 60fps). There's massive customization options for graffiti and skateboards, all of which can be uploaded online and downloaded from other users. What's more, entire 2:00 skate run videos can be downloaded from other players and watched on your DS. And once you get tired of the main game, you can go online and play a variety of multiplayer games, or download the new challenges that come out every week. THDJ does one better, with full customization options for appearance and clothes and voice chat in-game. As in, not just in between sessions like Metroid Prime: Hunters, but actually during the session. Anyone want to add friends in Contact? I like getting free stuff. Sure, only I don't think I've unlocked it yet. How far do you have to get? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hale-Bopp Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam: 2706-6519-8097 This game rocks. \m/ I especially enjoy downloading other people's runs and watching the replays. There's so much to do online, it's crazy. This game is oozing with gameplay options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Well, yeah, I should have figured there would be some people who would take interest. Anyway... I mean, sure, I can see the argument for seeing how the Tony Hawk's engine was used on the DS and created into an extensive title, but the fact remains that it's something that we've seen before on prior consoles, and we also figure that the context of skateboarding can only seem to appeal to a limited set of gamer types. That's what seems to worry me most; not how much it pushes itself to have fun or whatever. To most gamer types, it could just look like something created solely for the MTV generation.

First of all, it's vastly different from every previous Tony Hawk game. Second, it's good. Stop coming up with reasons to doubt it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexy Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 I know it might be good, but that doesn't stop the fact that I can't play this type of game to save my life. In fact, I can't play sports sims at all unless it's with cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
