This is probably going to be as good as it gets on DS this month. Not expecting greatness, but I need a good, guilty pleasure.

For R4, I patched arm7 and it works.

Isn't Professor Layton 2 coming out this month?

Well this is below average, there are some parts that are good but not enough to make it worth the time.

Oh well it was to be expected but I hoped to have been wrong about it, could do with a good new DS action game.

Yeah, I forgot about that, but they're very different types of games, of course.

I like it so far. It's what I expected, really, and I don't think it's ugly, as IGN seemed so adamant about driving home in their review. It feels like Gauntlet, just as they said. Good enough for me.

EDIT: All right...well, I just finished the snow level, and yeah, it's pretty fugly in some areas. Still fun, though.

Okay, the Donato quick impressions review I hope someone appreciates because I'll keep doing them:

Graphically, this game is as much ass as you can possibly ass in any ass amount of time. Cutscenes are done by a mix of scanned in photos or horrible drawn 2D clip art, sometimes AT THE SAME TIME, which looks horrible.

If you can ignore that and just focus on the game itself, it's very good in a Gauntlet with Guns and Grenades way. Reloading is a bit of a itch-with-a-b and the cover system seems like a good idea but is barely necessary, but it's pretty serviceable in terms of what it's trying to do. Why they couldn't give us infinite ammo in our main weapons I know not, but that would have helped.

If you are looking for Smash TV or Gauntlet on your DS, you can definitely do worse.

I had quick run of the game on the emulator here. That cutscene with scanned photo and 2D art really is ugly. That really strikes me as a lazy effort. Couldn't get to play the actual game because of some error but I guess I didn't miss much. Shame actually, was hoping it to be as good as the C64 GI Joe was. Well I liked it back in the day

    the legal drinking age here in the US is 21, as some of you may know, but i think either it should be 18 or the age you're an adult should be 21.
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and i know what you may be thinking, "why become an adult at 21? doesn't that mean that banging an 18 year old would be illegal?"
    first of all, being in a relationship with someone who's 18 is technically ok, as long as it started when they were 18, but the age gap is still weird depending on how old you are. besides, the age of consent differs between different states
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also my reasoning for adult age being 21 is because the reason that's the drinking (and now smoking) age is because it "gives them more time to think rationally and not drive drunk"
    so you should have that extra time to mature and think rationally before going to serve in the military or vote
    +1
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    tl;dr the "adult" age and the legal drinking age (and voting age) here in the US should be the same

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's all good no one pays attention to the law anyway lol
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What about making kids wait till 18 or 21 to drive? And yea is messed up, you can join army and die for your country at age 18, but you can't drink alcohol or smoke a cig til 21, is ridiculous
    +3
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    If someone is in the military they should be allowed to smoke and drink at 18.... Would help drive recruitment lol
    +3
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    We all know they do and will anyways. I think laws prevented them only pushes them to illegally do it. Even tho if was legal, most prob wouldn't even bother. Not a big deal or risque if its legal, no fun.

  • ZeroT21 @ ZeroT21:
    That's why some kids don't mind having a rap sheet or two just so they never get drafted
    +2
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    also, i think the voting age should match the adult and drinking ages too, because by the logic of giving them time to mature and think rationally so they don't drive drunk, then they should also have that time to mature and think rationally so they can think for themselves
