When I think of DS, 3 games come into mind: Metroid Prime
Hunters :First Hunt, Super Mario 64 DS, and The Urbz: Sims in the City.
The Urbz is simple: if you've played the Sims before, you
know basically what this will be, although I'm not sure. If I'm correct,
it's the Sims, except you live in a city instead of a town.
Super Mario 64 DS is really self-explanatory, too. It's
Super Mario 64 with maybe some extra stuff, but it's portable now. However,
since I know more about the game, I'll explain it a little better. You
begin playing with Yoshi. You have to jump into many different paintings
to get to the levels. Every time you beat a level, you get a star.
Get 8, and you can earn Mario. Then, you earn Luigi by heading off
somewhere in the level, 'Big Boos Haunt', but you must first hit the red block
to activate the ? boxes. You can do this after you beat Bowser for the
first time. You earn Wario after the Third time you beat Bowser. You
go upstairs with Luigi, and you go into the mirror room. With any other
character the room looks normal. However, with Luigi, you see two flowers
on the poles. You go invisible into the mirror and jump into Wario's
picture on the right. To cut this short, you fight Bowser three times.
Each time you need a certain amount of stars to get there. You need 80 to
beat Bowser for the last time. There are 150 stars in the game.
The demo that comes with DS is Metroid Prime Hunters: First
Hunt. It's very similar to the other Metroid Prime Games (Metroid Prime,
Metroid Prime 2: Echoes) except that you can select 3 levels only.
Regulator is a basic level. The point is to get through a level and fight
a boss. Be careful: there are Metroids that attach to you and suck your
energy out. Hold R (the shooting button) and aim at them to keep them from
reaching you. You will have to use Morph Ball mode. The Boss is
Samus herself. You must avoid Morph Ball Bombs and beams while attacking
"Samus". You have a 10:00 time limit, which seems pretty generous, but
trust me: the time limit is the hardest part. This level needs time
to be able to win, and you will probably have to practice it before you can make
it. I didn't really need practice, but that's just me. At a certain
point (I'm not sure what you must to do reach this point) you earn a video that
really is not that great, nor that long. It appears as a blinking spot on
the Title Screen. Survivor mode is the only one that isn't timed.
You try to go through a level and kill as many bad monsters/Metroids as
possible. The limit to it is however long you can stay alive. The
final mode is Morph Ball. You are forced to stay in Morph Ball mode, and
have a 55 second time limit. Folks, this time limit is even harder to beat
than the previous one. This is still not much of a challenge, though; just
collect little sphere holograms and make it to an elevator thing before time
runs out. The multiplayer mode is very simple. You just shoot at the
other players. It is for 2-4 players.
Enjoy these games, and the others out. I also suggest
to keep looking at this site, because the upcoming DS games section of this site
is coming soon!
