Yeah, nice review. I love the game, but recognize your complaints as valid and find your score justified.

This sounds highly unlikely. Full retail game dl's are already a reality in the DSi Shop thanks to Chronos Twins and Zombie BBQ though.
I just don't see Nintendo leaving such a potential vulnerability open in the wake of the rampant Wii and DS piracy they've encountered.

Can't wait to check it out. Metal Torrent reminded me how much fun shooters can be. Hopefully this turns out to be another good one.

Really looking forward to this too. There's no way it's only going to be 500 pts though, I mean compare it to all the other 500 pt titles and you can see it's in another league.

Looksley's Line Up is pretty cool. The effect is really nice if you close one eye to overcome the lack of depth.

Now that Chronos Twins has a European release, hopefully the US can get Zombie BBQ.

Yeah, I would score it a 9 as well. Everything from the art and sound to the level design and gameplay are really well done. Hopefully it sells well, and they make it a series.

Good to see a few games getting wifi leaderboards. The competition can add a lot of replay value.

Looks like 5 in 1 is still the way to go. It's too bad they never allow you to use your own music from the SD card in games like this. I used to always sit at my computer playing solitaire and listening to my mp3's, so it seems like a natural combo.

You can only maneuver the paddle with the touch screen. An option to use the dpad for movement would have just put you at a disadvantage, with no way to instantly zip to where you need to be.

@ piguy101

Lefties have the option of using the face buttons for actions assigned to the dpad, so no problem there.

Great game. Traveling the map, and seeing the strange item icons in the distance I'm often like "Oooh! What's that?!". Then, when I reach it and earn whatever it turns out to be, it often expands/changes how the game is played, adding to the fun of exploring the galaxy.

I'm also jealous you guys got Alpha Bounce . Oh well, should be coming to us next update. I look forward to any early impressions uk gamers can offer.

I got dem pixie stix brah. How much you need?

Yeah, I agree with the review. The story delivery pulls the whole experience down, with the amateurish character art and the often hillariously bad grammar. Really wasn't into it yesterday, but I gave it another try this morning in quick play mode (sans the homebrew quality cutscenes), and I actually had a much better time playing it.

Good review. I agree with all your points, and think it's worth the 800 pts for someone looking for a classic GTA experience with a pinch of Tamagotchi. A little more polish would have made it a solid 8.
