More of the same. The first game's story was a bit more interesting. A semi-mature, noir visual novel/puzzle game. The puzzles are typically lukewarm, the script above average, and the music much the same. For me, it's a nice, humdrum Adventure game, but the budget and talent shows. The DS was capable of far more than this, and I wish it had more to show for itself, because there is a lot to love for its style and setting. This is one of few of its era that could easily be ported to modern platforms and enhanced without compromise, though sadly it may never be. There's too much dialogue for the script it bears, too little puzzle-solving, and it's too slow a game overall in terms of performance. Skipping through text, menus and scene transitions drag the game down even harder. I finished it around 17 long hours, and the game would have been far better cutting it down by at least 6 hours.

Last Window took the best of Hotel Dusk and brought it to a new level. With quality of life improvements and an expanded scope, married by the excellent characters and art direction, Last Window is a game any respecting DS owner must play.

SummaryWhile this game is packed with clues, this game will test the keenest puzzle solver. Think Professor Layton puzzle solving, immersed within a great and rich film noir-esque story... and make sure you look out for extra clues in your game packaging manual.
