"Awsome Game Chapter 1"

Story 7/10
For the first chapter the story is a bit on the average side. Your car breaks down, the dog runs into a mansion, the parents go after him and leave you there, all in all you end up getting sucked into the world of memories and you have to find your parents with the help of your dog ace.

Graphics 9/10
Graphics are great for on a hand held. Everything is pretty solid

Sound 7/10
The music can get a bit repetitive but over all its good. There is voice acting for the opening cut scene too, the first I have seen on ds. The sound effects are pretty good also

Game-play 10/10
I love the game-play, there is so much to explore. The dungeons are huge. There are a lot of secrets too such as false walls that have whole other parts of the dungeon past them. There are also secret items you can find. The puzzles are fun and creative. There are also a lot of spells to use, you either have to find them or learn them by leveling up. There are also certain spells that you can combined with others. For example you can combine a sword spell and a fire spell to make a flaming sword or you can use a enhancing spell in combination with another to raise the effect. So far I have not run into any glitches. There are also two chapters, basically two games the first is easier and the second harder. I am playing the first right now. The second is the original game that appeared on cell phones in Japan

Controls 7/10
For the most part the controls are responsive and work well. Sometimes its annoying though to draw the spell's symbol while in a battle and you have to draw the spell almost correctly to make it work, curved lines wont work. For attacking with your sword you draw a line on the touch screen and that is the way you sing your sword, I have found that some enemies are damaged more by different directions of swing.

Rent or Buy
Defiantly buy this game it will give long hours of fun.

Overall it is a amazing game I hope my review has helped you decide to get it, you won't be disappointed.
