First off let me say... THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!! Its like a real mistery novel/movie that unfolds in the palm of your hands. The story line is awesome and what suprised me was how good the graphics are! I mean for a DS game the people who made this game really pulled it off. The only thing to complain about is the dialoge. The only thing you do is read and sometimes you need to take a break from reading so much. But other than that the game is exellent. Another thing that I thought was kind of nice was that their are 10 Chapters to this game. But, I'm already on Chapter 5 or 6 and I've only had it for 4 days! So in conclusion this game is awesome and I hope they make a sequel that is a little longer and the dialogue is actually spoken because if Kyle Hyde could talk it would be way cool.Peace out and be sure TO BUY THIS GAME!!!

Yawn! Beyond boring!

Sorry, I don't really see how anyone likes this game, it's beyond me to find this entertaining when it's taking forever to get the story going, and I lost interest in the game. It's too boring for me. That's why I rate this 2 stars. Hotel Dusk story itself is not as appealing as other games. The conversations between the detective and the others seem to be taking their sweet time which you can not make the conversations go any faster as you would have like. For example: Phoenix Wright is colorful, comedy, and far more entertaining than this game. Forget this one, go for the series of Phoenix Wright games and it'll be worth every penny.

Just bought today. . . .

So, I really can't give it an overall score honestly. But, from what I've experienced today . . . it rocks! Simply. Freaking. Rocks!

Hotel Dusk an average game...

Though original in concept and at the outset a compelling game visually there is much to be desired in this game. The story and animation are the only saving features of a game that grows tired and irritating very quickly. The gameplay is very slow even for this genre and involves more character dialogue than forward progress. Puzzles are solved relatively quickly for such longwinded scenarios and the end of chapter tests are quite daunting. you will be craving a quick save when playing. I recommend playing this game one chapter at a time with a backup game close at hand.

After you get to a certain point in the game it's hard to figure out what to do next. You just keep doing the same things over and over again and when nothing happening, you get frustrated and put it away. The game is okay if you can get past the 2nd chapter.

Such a lovely place, such a boring place....

First off, please note that this review is being written hopefully halfway through my gameplay of Hotel Dusk ("HD"). This game is basically a very limited choose-your-own-adventure style which involves you guiding the main character through numerous conversations and puzzles in order to gain clues to uncovering what happened to your ex-police officer partner. HD is unique in many respects: (1) the developers designed the game to be "read" like a book in that you will play the entire game holding the DS sideways, (2) the rendering of the characters in a sort of "animated sketch" is original and adds to the bookish feel of the game. (3) Some of the options for what your character can say are humerous and probably what a normal person would say in that situation (ie, kid playing on the stairs and is in your way - "Hey, Kid! Get outta my way!"), but unfortunately if you pick those choices, you usually get thrown out of the hotel and the game is over. The negatives of this game is that you spend most of the time reading text in coversation with the strange hotel guests, and when you aren't in conversation, what item you need to obtain or what puzzle you need to work out is pretty much the only option you have. I would have liked a little more open-ended adventure here, but instead this game gets bogged way down in reading text. While the game is unique in its feel and character renderings, if I wanted to read, I wouldn't have picked up my DS in the first place. I always end my play wanting more action and a little more room to explore.

Scooby Doo, huh?

I say that because, at one point, Louie says that it's, "just like that show with the talking dog and the guy who's hungry all the time!" I've always been a fan of a good mystery, which is what this is. I wish it were longer, and a bit more challenging, but it was still quite the game. Probably the best DS game I've played, which amounts to about 15.

Refreshing at first, but then boring

When I starting playing this game I thought that it was pretty cool and new, but actually it's more like a mediocre crime stroy. Your own participation in the game is minimal and all you really do is walk around and look at stuff. There are no real challenges besides finding the right door so the game can proceed. If you make the mistake and put the game down for a week(don't do it)you will find yourself ultra non motivated to play it again!
3 stars are for the idea and style of the game.

a good mystery

this game was entertaining, but it does take some getting used to holding the ds a diffrent way. if you are considering buying this game i would recommend you buy it used, its fun, but not one you would play again right away.
