Revolutionary for DS
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by crispin1984

Advantages: Stylish, Good Storyline
Disadvantages: Hard to get into, need patience

...for the DS. Overview: To best describe Hotel Dusk you could say it is an interactive novel in which you guide the main character Kyle Hyde through a storyline that is strife with mystery and betrayal. Ingeniously, whilst playing you have to hold your DS vertically, like a book. The two screens are then cleverly split so that the left hand screen shows a first person view, while the touch screen shows a plan view of the are through which you ... Read review

Hotel Dusk - The ultimate mystery?
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by halawin123

Advantages: Good combination of stories into one, mixture of characters.
Disadvantages: Long game play, cheesy music, needs some patience.

...Smith - The owner of Hotel Dusk. A little grumpy at times and likes to tell fairy tales about the rooms. Jeff Angel - A guest at Hotel Dusk who stays in Room 213.

"Why did you do it?"
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by MI9to5

Advantages: Good mystery storyline
Disadvantages: Lack of voices a little irritating

...ago I have since purchased Hotel Dusk: Room 215 and have been totally hooked on the game. That is until today when I finally finished the game. Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is a fantastic detective style game that focuses around ex-police officer turned salesman/private detective Kyle Hyde and his one night stay in Hotel Dusk on the 28th December 1979. Three Years previously Kyle was a member of the LAPD and after receiving a phone call that his partner ... Read review

Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by BadDay

Advantages: Very well written dialogue and story. Beautiful graphics

Welcome to Hotel Dusk! You play through this film noir-esq mystery/puzzle game as former police detective now dodgy salesman Kyle Hyde. During your overnight stay in room 215 you'll use all the DS functions (Touch Screen, microphone, even closing the DS at one point) to interact with other guests, explore the hotel and solve the numerous puzzles you'll come across.

Old style gaming without violence - Hotel Dusk for DS
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by julwhite

Advantages: A deep and atmospheric game
Disadvantages: Possibly a bit wordy and linear in gameplay

Hotel Dusk : Room 215 is a detective and puzzle game for the Nintendo DS. It reminds me of games I used to play on the Amiga which were essentially point and click adventure games, where the game play and storyline was relatively set but gave the player lots of different options to explore the world built up by the programmers. The game appealed to me, as I'm really not that good at games which involve fighting other characters and jumping from platform ... Read review

Revival of adventure games
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by CloudRuler

Advantages: Interesting and enjoyable plot, atmosphere, level of interactivity
Disadvantages: Slow paced and no extras so no reply value

...task has taken him to Hotel Dusk. His own backstory involves a search for his old, dead partner who he believes to be alive. Upon arriving at the hotel you are immediately thrown into the mystery, Kyle's name was used by someone that stayed at the hotel previously. There are various other guests at the hotel and instead of taking the easy route of divulging backstory about each guest with limited immersion, the game forces you to discover the ... Read review

A great book with some interactivity
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by rwip

Advantages: excellent plot, great graphics
Disadvantages: linear, possibly repetitive sound (whether it annoys you or not)

...chat with people in the hotel and the story unfolds. It is that story that drives this game to greatness. It felt like a novel or comic with a strong plot and while it delivers it much like a novel it is still great. I cannot recommend this to someone who is not willing to read lots. You will walk about, maybe do a puzzle but have many conversations on the way. The characters are colourful and for one of the few times your character you control ... Read review

Hotel Dusk - A murder mystery
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by wulfy

Advantages: Addictive gameplay with an interesting story and plenty of puzzles
Disadvantages: Needs better guidance

I would recommend Hotel Dusk to anyone who enjoys puzzle-based role playing games but not if you are impatient. You play the part of Kyle Hyde, an ex-cop staying at a strange hotel, trying to solve a mystery from his past and work out what is going on at the hotel. You hold the DS like a book and use the stylus to move around, investigate objects and talk to other characters. The game is divided into chapters of one hour (game time) and you have ...

A unique, mysterious game
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by Luke145

Advantages: many mysteries and plot twists, neat animation, good music, makes great use of the DS hardware
Disadvantages: Text speed is a little slow, not a huge soundtrack

...Crown. You stay at a hotel called Hotel Dusk on a buisness trip and many mysterious events take place with many suprises and plot twists. The game is very unique. It has characters drawn in sketch form, similar to the sketch animation in the music video Take On Me by Aha and It also makes great use of the DS hardware. You hold the DS sideways, like a book and control all actions using the touch screen, although I do wish that the text speed was faster. ... Read review

Steeped in atmosphere!
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by mchitty

Advantages: Interesting plot, memorable characters
Disadvantages: Perhaps a bit short

...was first inspired to buy Hotel Dusk when I saw a friend playing it on their DS. I was immediately attracted by the creepy music, the vertical angle of the screens and the unique visual style. What's it about? Hotel Dusk is in essence an adventure game. You play a character named Kyle Hyde, a former NYPD cop looking for his old friend Bradley. The whole adventure takes place within the walls of Hotel Dusk. This may seem boring - I found however ... Read review

And then established that everyone else staying in the hotel was connected to an Art Gallery and a mobster gang.

Hotel Dusk - Room 215
Review of Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (Nintendo DS) by clarkee22

Advantages: Complete control over the game, fun, good storyline
Disadvantages: Some of the puzzles are a bit easy

I took my time getting this game because I had read a lot of reviews and thought it would be very boring, as everyone was saying there's so much reading to do. Well, I've played and enjoyed Phoenix Wright, and after that, nothing's a lot of reading! I really got into this game very quickly, and found the reading to be minimal. I really enjoyed the fact that you actually move the character around, and can examine anything, it's exactly what I was hoping ... Read review
