IGN Reviews: Hotel Dusk: Room 215

Hotel Dusk is a great read with interesting characters and backgrounds, and its visuals compliment the tale nicely. The puzzle elements are much more scattered than Trace Memory -- most of the player interaction is in the dialogue trees and in moving from point to point within the hotel. The game takes a long time picking up pace, but it never really speeds along. It's meant to be an interactive novel, but even so sometimes it's hard not to wish the characters would get to the point just so you can get to the next puzzle. Still, it's a significant improvement over the team's previous effort, and it's a nice revitalization of the point-and-click adventure genre on the Nintendo DS.

Score: 7.9
