Name of Game: New Super Mario Bros.
Genre: Adventure/Side Scrolling
Game Play: Well...its super mario bros. but 3d, new items, different levels, and fun!
Online Play: There are two modes. Up to 4 people can play mini games, which WILL keep you addicted for hours. And there is Mario Vs Luigi mode, which is both players on one looped map (If you go all the way to the right side, you come out the left, and vice versa) its a battle to see who has the most stars at the end of the time. They appear randomly, and you do this while getting items and stuff. (Note: I think this game is only DS - DS and not WiFi, I haven't confirmed this yet, so dont kill me if it isnt)
How Much time did you spend on that Game?: Atleast 30 hours by now. (I've had it for little over a week, maybe?)
Overall Rate: 8 1/2 outta 10
Name of Game: Lost Magic
Genre: I dunno, action, kinda
Game Play: You play as a kid who has been brought up by some witch thing. You have a magic wand, and you have the ability to cast spells by holding "L" and drawing the specific rune you want to cast. There are a total of 18 runes you get along your journey (3 fire, 3 water/ice, 3 wind, 3 earth, 3dark, 3 light) You then draw the specfic rune, and wah-lah. But once you get further in the game, you have the ability to draw two runes, thus creating new spells. And even further you have the ability to draw three at once (all while holding L) To cast even more spells. This creates the possibilty for 400+ different spells. And the order matters, so like Fire Fire water wont yield the same spell as Water Fire Fire or Fire Water Fire. Ontop of the fact you have yourself, you have the ability to have little mobs of mosters you catch using level 1 dark spells. The movement system is similar to that of an RTS. Its an above view game, and you click on your character, then click the spot to move him. When selection multiple characters you click, hold, and drag to get a group.
Online Play: I haven't tried it yet, but im pretty sure its just battling between two characters over WiFi or DS connect
How Much time did you spend on that Game?: Atleast 20 hours by now, have had it for 5 days or so.
Overall Rate: 7/10 The game can get frustrating, the battles are timed and such
. But I've saved up some money to buy something. As I said before I was looking at the DS looks really nice and stuff, but after buying a GameCube I have lost some hope in Nintendo. The DS and Wii have brought my attention back. I looked in the Nintendo Forums, Looks at game reveiws and they seem alright.
