More on Mario Kart DS

This is probably the best game on the DS right now. Tons of features and so much to unlock.

I have been hooked on it since I got it. Unlocking other karts and other characters is so much fun.

Playing online is awesome. They did a good job of it. Very smooth and quick to find matches now that others have finally gotten the game. The only drawback is that there aren’t many features you can set up. Such as friends. You have to use a code to find your friends instead of setting up something like Xbox Live where you have one tag and use it to find anyone online.

Hopefully there future games will feature more things like that.

Graphics are pretty good for the DS. The music is great. All the tracks from the older games are here. So much fun. Just need to find more friends to play the game with.

Highly recommended.

Animal Crossing: Wild Worlds

It’s out today. Never played the Gamecube version. It’s a very different game. It’s almost not really a game.

You get a house and start off working off all the money you owe. You can work at Tom Nook’s store. Running errands, writing letters, planting stuff. All kinds of stuff.

I’m not sure what to think of this game so far. Will post more later.

Mario Kart DS

It’s out today. You must get this is you have a Nintendo DS!!!!!!!!!!!

More on Castlevania

OK I have gotten two of the endings so far. Going for another. This game is actually alot of fun. I sure hope it is a little longer though as it seems short so far. I think you can play through it with some of the other characters though, if so that should make it decently long.

Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow

Just picked this up last week and am having a blast. Best Castlevania game in a long time. I am not to far into it yet so quick impressions are all I can offer.

The graphics are some of the best 2D I have seen on the DS. The animations are so smooth. Having the map one the second screen seems like a gimmick at first, but it’s really cool once you get used to it. So much easier than pausing and going back and forth.

The bosses are all huge. The only problem so far are the magic seals you have to use to finish off a boss. The patters now aren’t to bad but I can imagine them getting rather hard quickly.

The music and sound effects are all fitting. The cutscenes leave a little to be desired. I wish they had used the game engine more instead of just text.
