Pros: The best story I've ever come across in a DS game. The character renderings are great, and each character is really well-developed. from Newegg.com I've heard this unique game described in several different ways, including "interactive novel", "point-and-click adventure", and "text-based adventure". I think I'd classify it as a point-and-click adventure, just because much of the gameplay involves tapping on things with the DS's stylus. Anyway, there's been a growing number of such games being released for the DS (such as Trace Memory, Time Hollow, Phoenix Wright, etc.), so I decided to pick one up. from Amazon.com I read all of the enthusiastic reviews and decided to give this game a chance. I'm sorry, but this was absolutely the worst purchase I've ever made in my entire life. from Amazon.com Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is a unique game for the Nintendo DS that presents itself as an interactive graphic novel. Cast as disgraced police officer Kyle Hyde, you find yourself in a hotel with a shady past and where every visitor has a secret. from Amazon.com I've been waiting for this game for a long time. When I saw it at a local store for $19, I whispered to my husband it's what wanted for Christmas. from Amazon.com I'm not an experienced gamer and have been generally turned off by computer games in the past where I end up in some room having no idea what to do. This game is like being immersed in a book....being part of the book. from Amazon.com I was a little hesitant to buy it at first because I am not really into video games. I was at Best Buy with my two young boys, whom are video game buffs, and I came across it. It seems like Nintendo is marketing DS games for adults now and this game seemed interesting. I've always loved mystery novels and movies so I decided to give this a try. from Amazon.com I'm surprised Hotel Dusk: Room 217 or Hotel Dusk: Room 111 hasn't been released yet. The ending of this game left so many unresolved mysteries, I felt a little let down after 15+ hours of game play. On the other hand, I did (mostly) enjoy those 15+ hours, so the game gets four stars. from Amazon.com Don't judge my review on the fact that I put a 3 for "FUN". I think fun is not a judge of a game like this because its more of a super interactive suspense novel. from Amazon.com Sure a noirish text adventure sounds like just the thing for DS owners who are sick of seeing every licensed pre-teen TV show property under the sun appearing on the handheld, but the truth (if you are honest about it) is that Hotel Dusk: Room 215 just doesn't end up cutting the mustard as a good game. Sure, it has great intentions, but so have plenty of games that turn out dull & boring. from Amazon.com
