Of Nintendo DS games that are awesome — Let’s start off with the Simpsons game!
To start off, one very quick [re: 24 hours to finish the basics — at the most =P] game that is oddly amusing — with the sound up, that is, would just have to be the Simpsons game. Yes, that’s ‘the Simpsons Game’, which just came out and thus came with no walkthrough -meh-. Also good luck searching for it since the Simpsons have had many games.
In fact, in one of the amusing stages in the game, [and rather annoying sections too, since a change in character didn’t bring about a checkpoint being reached and I’m pretty sure I’ve killed off Bart and Homer way too many times as a result.] you can go off and save those 8-bit previous Simpsons; quite like the episodes where you meet the original designs of the Simpsons. [which is revisited in the background].
But anyway, it’s a tag team sidescroller game; where the characters realise that they’re in a videogame rather often; almost a cliche you could say but this is offset by the fact that there’s a section of points to attained called Video Game Cliches.
Homer can turn into a rolling ball that welll.. flattens enemies after he’s eaten enough.
Bart turns into Bartman and he can shoot [pity that he’s the only range character], and climb walls and glide and stuff.
Lisa gets a little useless till she gets near a Hand of Buddha where she can move around buildings and… shoot lightning at enemies at some point xD.
Marge, well.. she’s even more useless to the point that she only jumps in the mock of Legends of Zelda. However, at the same time, she can call on a mob of characters to do the fighting for her.
Ah yes, I have to say, one of my favourite bits; other than the ending that is, would be where you have the mock of videogames [Yay, Homer and Lisa can attack Pokemon style with 9999999999 hit robots xD] and then the crossover with Futurama characters as enemies. [Damn they’re annoying.]
Well, I might say more later/add some pictures but next up: Final Fantasy 12: Revenant Wings.
Which… I’m only 39% complete at 15 hrs and I feel kind of dead yet it’s still fun though my characters are weaklings but the part strategy part real time part rpg is still addictive so ja ne~
], John Howard falls from being second longest lasting Prime Minister of Australia after Sir Robert Menzies, his idol, to becoming the second Prime Minister to have lost his position as Prime Minister by losing his seat in a general election, like that of Stanley Bruce in around the 1930s. =D
