I grabbed Contact a few weeks ago.
I am not 100% satisfied with my purchase. I like the look and everything, it's just the combat system that I really do NOT like. It's so passive. You have no control over the character at all! You push "action" and he punches/swings like every two or three seconds. I would have much prefered him to swing when i push a button (like Sword of Mana) or a pure turn based setup. Also, the leveling system is very odd. Getting stronger by doing things is fine, and I understand it. It's just that I really have no idea how strong I am until I am in combat and either losing badly or suddenly killing with one hit. But, I like the story and characters and I already spent the cash... so I'm going to continue with it.

I would like to pick up Children of Mana. I had fun with Sword of Mana (for the most part) and I think CoM will address alot of what I had problems with while playing SoM - like a MAP!! But I am playing an older Zelda game which is taking care of my hack and slash for the moment.

I even think that that Pokemon game - where you turn INTO a Pokemon - looks kinda fun.

It's not the game rankings I am interested in.
It's my fellow ATHQ'ers and their thoughts on DS games that I would like to hear from.

I picked up Final Fantasy III for the DS yesterday and I'm pretty shocked how good it is. Even though its the same old trite RPG formula we've been playing to death, I can't help but really like this. I would explain it but I got alot of research papers and reports due for school so i really don't feel like typing too much. beigelaugh.gif One thing though, playable directly through touch screen, Super Big Plus from me here. trophy.gif

Oh yeah, and Benja I own the first Phoenix Wright. Here are my thoughts on it.
