This game is here almost completely because of the style. And because the main character is a bit of a blunt asshole for a change. The story is okay and the puzzles is so so, but the characters is top of the line in the art style of the characters is best in class. Holding the DS as a book while playing and and interact with the hand drawn inhabitants of the hotel made for a unique experience. I'm glad that things like this game exist. The 3D environments are not that great and to see the characters standing like someone cut out them in large paper lessened the experience some. Not perfect, but best in one thing, and being the best if only for a small part takes you a long way. |
I really like this game, although I love the Another Code series even more. I am unhappy with Nintendo that they let Cing die (and NOA specifically is kinda at fault too, as Hotel Dusk and Another Code - Trace Memory in the US - sold best with the localization in the US, so when Cing made sequels to both they thought that would be work as well, but NOA for some reason didn't publish the two games in the US, even though Nintendo of Europe already had done the localization for the european release, and then Nintendo of Japan could've taken over Cing, as their debts weren't even that high, but they let them die). Anyways, Nintendo now holds the rights and they released Another Code remakes, so maybe this series sees also a new release.
