A Word Of Advice This Christmas

SPIRIT

Hey, folks. It's the time of year where kids from 1 to 92 are writing their letters to ol' Santa Claus and before you finish, allow someone who has experienced many Christmases to give you a piece of advice that he has learned from the ages.

 

You might be asking yourself, "what platform should I get this game on? Nintendo DS or one of the consoles?" The answer to this is quite simple:

 

DO NOT GET A MULTI-PLATFORM GAME FOR THE NINTENDO DS.

 

99/100 times, it will result in disappointment. For some reason or other, despite the DS being a highly versatile and powerful system, developers put an incredibly much smaller amount of effort into making games for it that also have platform versions. Granted, there are exceptions to this, where the DS version is greater than or equal to the console game (BIONICLE Heroes, for instance), but unless your family has an orchard of money trees, it's not worth the risk.

 

Instead, go for the DS-exclusive games. 100% of the developers' time and effort has gone into making it and it's pretty much guaranteed that they're better than the multi-platform ones.

 

And that's my bit of Christmas advice for you. :xmas:

See: Assassin's Creed for the DS

 

Worst. Game. Ever.

while BIONICLE Heroes DS is better than the other versions it still isn't great

 

also multi-platform games available for handhelds and multiple consoles generally aren't very good

Lego Star Wars II for DS can't be completed, even with cheats.

 

But I suppose I had fun trying...

Now THERE was a major disappointment. I was wowed by the great 3Dness of it all until it came around to actually having to complete the game. :rolleyes:

I loved LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga DS though, Traveler's Tales finally got the game mechanics working well starting with that one. Also I have an awesome Sith minifig I made on there who can kill anything, so I may be slightly biased.

PURE GENIUS! "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" for the DS was a COMPLETE Disappointment! But "Zelda: Phantom Hourglass" was great, and the sequel looks even better ;)

That pretty much sums up Christmas 2007 for me. :lol:

That game had so many bugs in it... It felt like the developers just hit the copy and paste button. :P
