Touch the Dead for Nintendo DS Reviews by Gamers

Ok, so the first day I picked up the game not expecting too much. After playing the first two levels I couldn't figure out why people gave this game such a low rating!?! Until I reached the third level.
Sure this game is addicting for a while but after you make it through an entire level to a boss just to die and go all the way back to the beginning of the level to do it again, it gets to be a nag. I expected to maybe respawn at the boss and try again but I guess they thought heck, why not go all the way back to the beginning and do it let's say 5 to 6 more times!
After beating the level, the game just gets too repetitive. It's fun blowing off zombies heads but after a few thousand it starts to be a bore. Let's not even mention the reloading scheme where you must move the ammo from the one side of the screen to the other in the midst of battle.
Bottom line is that the game can be fun depending if you have the patience to do levels a few times and if you can live with screwing up a few times trying to reload.
I'd say it's definitely a rent if you want something new but that's about all it is.

Great game. The controls work really well. The graphics aren't the best but that isn't why I bought a DS. The one flaw with the game is the fact that it is hard. It isn't just mindlessly killing zombies. This is also a plus to the game. It takes all the things that I hate about other zombie games and changes them. To be short, it is a good game and it is definitely worth the rent.
