I personally think this game is excellent. This being said, it is not easy- im currently only about 20 % through the game and have been playing the game probably for at least 30-40 hours. The size of the game obvioulsly has its advantages, but it gets very fustrating. The graphics i think are great, all things on it look great, the levels are massive, and are really intuative. Its kind of like Zelda, with many puzzles and ways of getting around each level.
You have your main weapon which has many diffrent functions, each one has a diffrent fuction, for example opening a door, or killing a boss. The controls are really really good. You use the stylus to control the movement of your character- the first person side, which can be used for both left handed and right handed people. You use the d-pad to omove around and use the L or R button to fire. You also tap on the screen to jump - i think that the controls on this game are probably the best of any first person shooter i have ever played. The one major criticism i have of this game is the saving.
As You travel to each planet in your ship you have the opourtunity to save your game. This is not alot - when u die you can continue to the checkpoint which you were last at. Often this is a good ten minutes back in your gameplay. With the size of the levels you will earn very quickly not to rush around and get killed, but to be careful so that u dont get killed. Also there is the use of the nintendo's wifi connection. This is very good to play on, you can play 3 players at one time and use voice through the microphone, so you talk to other players. There are lots of levels and all of them are really good when using only four people.
Overall i would defenitely recommend buying this game. It has loads of features and easily is the best nintendo ds game i have played since mario kart ds.
