Inspired by a similar thread on another forum, I thought it'd be interesting to see what everyone thought of their DSiWare games by giving them a score of 1-10 (loosely based on how satisfied you are with your purchase). Here goes:
Number Battle (10/10)
Brilliant strategy/board game based around numbers. Excellent WiFi multiplayer along with a varied story mode and an addictive puzzle mode. Considering this was a retail release in Japan, it's one of the most substantial DSiWare releases (and only 500 pts. to boot).
Pinball Pulse: The Ancients Beckon (10/10)
Practically the perfect DSiWare release. Top-notch pinball physics on one of the best table designs I've ever played.
Art Style: Precipice (9/10)
Succeeds as both a clever metaphor for the working life and an ingenious action/puzzle game.
Starship Defense (9/10)
Appealing, minimalist design along with a large variety of challenging levels and solid balancing/depth make for one of the better tower defense games on any platform.
Trajectile (8/10)
Great pick-up-and-play puzzle game that is only marred by somewhat confounding controls.
DK vs Mario 2: Minis March Again (8/10)
Solid game, augmented by an excellent level creator and sharing service.
Art Style: Pictobits (8/10)
Interesting, entertaining twist on the typical falling puzzler.
Art Style: Aquia (8/10)
Under-appreciated gem of the Art Style catalog. It's difficult to grasp and maintains a fairly high challenge, but rewards perseverance with captivating, compelling sound design that evolves as you progress (in addition to a hearty helping of challenging gameplay).
Art Style: Digidrive (8/10)
Incredibly addictive and frantic puzzle game if just a little too repetitive and straightforward.
Pop+ (7/10)
Incredible soundtrack accompanied by a unique shooter-style game based around chaining similarly colored bubbles to advance and affect/build the music.
Dragon Quest Wars (7/10)
Fun, simple strategy game hurt by a lack of substantial singleplayer (as well as the release of Number Battle).
Dark Void Zero (7/10)
Enjoyable retro action game with some tedious and inconsistent level design.
Mighty Flip Champs (6/10)
Bland paint-by-numbers gameplay hidden by a dual-screen "flipping" gimmick.
Have fun.
