DE'S PROFILE

You can sleep with your savior in Aftermath.

Then there's Lunar Eve :D

Unofrtunately, there aren't that many good titles on the DS if you're an RPG fan, or don't enjoy games heavily utilizing the touch screen.

Though there were a few enjoyable games:

- CastleVania trilogy - all are pretty good; Dawn of Sorrow is the weakest IMO, and Portrait of Ruin the best one (many people would disagree)
- Phoenix Wright 1 - the first one was awesome, because it was mildly serious, the sequels were painful to sit through due to absolutely idiotic anime characters (the circus case, GOD :X) and supernatural elements which somehow no one in the courtroom gave a damn about (possession case from PW2)
- Dragon Quest Rocket Slime or something - great pixelart graphics, but the game itself isn't mindblowing
- Contra 4 - for hardcore fans only (very difficult)
- Metal Slug DS - a piece of trash compared to arcade versions, but not a bad game for a handheld (it's actually a sad statement)
- Final Fantasy 4 - different enough from the original to warrant a playthrough, but I felt it lacked something
- Professor Layton - fun, but some puzzles are just ridiculous
- Magical Starsign - fun for a few hours and to admire beautiful pixelart graphics, but then it becomes more of a chore

What I DID NOT ENJOY:
- Etrian Odyssey - if you enjoy walking back and forth through the same levels over and over and over again (you have to visit the town VERY often and teleports are placed on each 5th level only) then sure, it's a cool game
- Chrono Trigger (optional dungeons, the port itself is perfect)
- Lunar, Luminous Arc, Rondo of Swords - these games are pure garbage aimed at anime fans who swallow everything with anime artwork in it (sorry Lunar/LA/RoS lovers :)
- World Ends With You - pretentious to the point I wanted to gouge my eyes out and rip off my ears; how this gathered positive reviews is beyond me
- Final Fantasy 3/DQ4 - these two titles completely ignore almost 20 years of jRPG evolution; results are not pretty
- Disgaea DS and FFTA2 - these games are basically single-player MMORPGs; beyond fighting random battles there is nothing to these games; no story, no likeable characters, no nothing; if you like endless grinding then these two might interest you

Um... I played it and didn't like it :(

It suffers from movie sequelitis. You know, like when sequels normally work in video game industry, yet somehow fail in movie industry. I believe the latter's applicable to Backstage 2.

It's like someone made Angel Heart 2, or In the Mouth of Madness 2. It doesn't work for some reason.

I also use the website for things! And I've got lots of comments on it I haven't gotten on the forums! However, and this is important...ALSO VICE VERSA! I've gotten comments on the forums I haven't gotten from the game pages. And I have the same info up both places!

Welcome to the Twilight Zone.

Come on, DB, Americans already kicked your butt once, and remember, history repeats itself :)
