"Its Time for Contact"

Welcome to the world of Contact, where you must help the professor get Power Cells for his ship, and umm kill terrorists???

Story: The story is relatively simple, The Professor is trying to make contact and You ( The Player) use your "DS" to Contact him. Then he crash lands & you must help the Terry (The Hero of this game) traverse may different Islands to collect Power Cells. Simple yet fun.

Graphics: The top screen shows the Professors Lab in a 2D 16-bit view while the bottom screen shows the beautiful 3D world outside. The outside world is full of life and colorful & lush.

Game Play: This is all and all your typical Action RPG fare. As you do things like walk and Attack your stats and abilities increase. You have 3 types of attacks Punching, Slashing and Striking. There are Weapons for each of these types. For Punching you get Gloves & Knuckles, Striking you get Clubs & Maces, and for Slashing you get Knives and Swords. There are also Staffs that up your Magic and Striking. You also fight bad guys like Snakes, Evil Sheep, Blobs of Water, Terrorists, Army Men, Mummies, and Potato Bugs.

Battle System: Also another important aspect of the game is the Outfit System and . As you travel across the many Islands in the game you may come across different Outfits. These Outfits add many different Stat increases & Abilities. Now
where was I? Oh the Battle System. This game is your normal "I hit you, You hit me back" type of game. Think Mystery Dungeon mixed with a Action RPG. You hit B and enter Battle Mode, While X brings you to the Menu and Y lets you use Techs. There is also a Decal System. If you hit R you can peel off a Decal & stick to the screen to do different things. L Lets you change Targets.

7 Out of 10

Replay: Early in the Game you'll be able to Cook and there are a few Mini games, and Doors to open after you get a certain outfit so I think the replayability is definitely there.

In Conclusion: Buy this game ASAP. It is an Atlus game and may be hard to find later.

Total Score: 9 out of 10!
