genius by birth, slacker by choice
As it turns out, my laptop will not be here by Monday — rather, it will be shipped out Monday, and arrive 5–6 days later.
That’s what you get when you try to save money. *Dramatic Sigh*
And that’s all for today, except for this: I’ve been playing a couple DS games a lot recently, so I think I shall put my brain to work and write reviews of them. Stay tuned, mark your calenders, etc.
So, any guesses as to what game I’ve been playing? Anyone?
My mini review:
Not as mind-blowing as expected. Expected it to cure cancer; was disappointed. Graphics are good, considering the limitations of the DS. The cell-shading is a good thing — without the black lines around everything, it’d be much harder to pick out stuff. The controls are good, except for the constant switching between the buttons and the stylus. However, at least the bits that need the stylus are nicely laid out and easy to navigate. Hot wiring cars — there’s a few different ways of doing this — hasn’t gotten old yet. Driving takes a while to get used to; the main reason being that the DS’s screen is so small and the cars go so fast. You take your eyes of the screen for just a split second and you will crash. At least the cars can take a lot of punishment before exploding.
The biggest problem with the game is the freezing. Yes, that wasn’t a typo. It freezes. A DS game that freezes!? Damnit Rockstar, what the hell is wrong with you? You have billions of dollars, put ‘em to good use!
Oh, and there was one time when I hijacked a van and even though I was in the vehicle the AI kept driving, and it wouldn’t let me out. That’s certainly a glitch.
But overall, it’s a fun game. Took me a while to warm up to it, but it’s definitely one of the better games on the system.
