" The most creative use of DS functions yet "

There are several aspects of this game people will enjoy and others will find them a waste of time. " Drawn To Life " is an excellent game for artists and those who like to uniquely alter objects in games, but is not recommended for those who concentrate on strategy or graphics. I will review this games many attributes and give a final score at the end, so read on faithful gamer! FIGHT ON!

First of all, this game's story is more for those who are into unique scenarioes that are easy to understand, not for people who enjoy put together pieces of information to come up with the final solution. It takes place in a world made by The Creator [you]. The world's inhabitants, the Raposa, relied on The Creator for everything in their lives. But when a rapo named Wilfre tore pages out of the Book of Life [ the drawings of all your creations ], the raposa were left to fend for themselves. Gradually, Raposa left the village they all took residence in to persue a better future. Now only 3 Raposa remain in the village..........................

Of course, every game's control system is somewhat unique. This game uses the diagnal pad to move your character and requires tapping the touchscreen to enter buildings. However, what makes this game unique is the fact you draw certain objects in the game. This keeps the game unique and never boring. This games graphics are excellent for a 2-D game. The shading, facial expressions, and unique personal traits of the characters make graphics a plus on game enjoyability. However, very few objects in the game are unique, so keep this in mind.

The most important feature in any game is post game activities. This game offers the ability to replay mini games and redesign objects in the game as many times as desired. Other than that, this game lets you revisit old levels an unlimited amount of times. This game is very fun to replay continuously.

Now for the final score

Story: 10

Controls: 10

Graphics: 10

Post Game Activities: 0 { All activities I talked about are available during the story }

Enjoyability: 10

Overall Score: 8.5/10

" The Best Game In Nintendo DS history "

This is my official review of " Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass ". As you can see by the above sentence, I believe this is the best game in DS history. For those of you who disagree, this is my reasoning:

This game is not only great for veterans of the series, but it is also the best game to buy as your 1st DS game. The first reason for this is that it has easy to use controls. Not only does button configuration make the game easy, but touch screen functions utilize all of the DS's functions like never before. Drawing weapon paths and aiming a grappling hook makes the game feel like a strategic masterpiece. Always finding new weapons and new ways of battling monsters keeps the game from turning into a simple " kill-and-grab " game.

Secondly, the story of this game is very well written and easy to understand even for those new to the series. All the twists and turns of the game take your attention away from the fact the story is just a " save the princess" senario. The backstory and deep personalities of the characters set the standard for all games. Listening to Linebeck's constant sarcasm and horrible jokes keeps the gamer interested in the games dialouge and it goes smoothly alongside the storyline. In every aspect, the story is perfect.

And we can't forget about the amazing graphics that are unusual in a DS game. Constantly encountering customized characters makes the game feel like there is never a shortage of things to do. The shading, intricate designs , and unique features of the landscapes and characters makes the gamer feel like they are exploring many different worlds. It's hard to concentrate on killing a boss while admiring theie detailed features.

And perhaps the most important aspect of the game is post game activities. Digging and diving for treasure keeps the game from getting boring after the main story ends. And playing mini-games on Dee Es island and others makes enjoying the game's features just that much funner. Rolling around like a ball and shooting targets never gets old. And customizing Linebeck's ship makes you feel very unique.

In all, Phantom Hourglass makes every gamer smile. So here is my overall score:

Graphics: 10

Controls: 10

Storyline: 10

Post Game Fun: 10

Enjoyability: 10

Overall Score 11/10 [ not a typo ]

I wish you a good day and a pleasant life. FIGHT ON!

Since this is my first internet blog ever, I thought I should say a little about myself and tell you about my intrest in the world of video games. I then would proceed to finsh by stating some sort of wise quote. This sounded like a pretty good plan. About 5 seconds later, I relized nobody cared about that stuff and only wanted to hear overly biased jokes and crude remarks. I got into deep thought and came to the conclusion that I wanted to keep my fist blog clean and straight to the point. Although a lot of people may disagree, a web post or a blog can be interesting without making another person feel bad or offended. So I sat down and started to type what your reading now with one and only one intention..... to waste about 3 minutes of your life writing a post that said nothing accept that there were a lot of thing I thought I should do with my first blog. Some of you may feel ignorant right now, but be comforted by the idea that someone else feels equally ignorant about reading a blog that said absolutely nothing. Wishing you a good day and a pleasant life, this has been the official 1st internet blog of the person going by the screen name of Master_Blaze.
