I love this game! I haven't completed it at the time of this review, but I am on case 4. Atlus is known for making great games and this is another one that has the humor,cute animation, and interesting storyline.
The story revolves around a cute little super-def. girl named Mackenzie. She is a detective and has a little mushroom(?) sidekick that can't talk, but helps along the way. There is a great cast of characters ranging from cute to peculiar. The point of the game is to touch things to find out information about them, as well as add them to your list as an extra. Question everyone, find items and use them in the right places to figure out the puzzles, and replay to find things you may have missed. Another great thing about this is the replay value of collecting things and the extras menu that has screen-shots, music, and profiles from the game. If you like the mystery games, Japanese games, you will like this. Not recommended for little kids because you have to figure things out and it's alot of text reading.

Despite the fact that it is a kid's game, I loved it! Thoroughly cute, fun characters, and simple stories. Some if the tasks were difficult to figure out, but I liked it so much I'm buying the first one. It's a lot like Myst for the PC or Xbox, but with an adorable, anime feel!

Atlus' first Touch Detective for the DS had an undeniable charm, but alas was too linear and shallow for it's own good. Touch Detective 2 1/2 is no different as it offers more of the same in terms of gameplay and presentation, which makes it basically the same game you've played before. Now, this may not be such a bad thing for those who actually enjoyed the first game, but for the rest of us, there's really nothing to see here. Young and touchy detective Mackenzie returns to solve the five cases that make up Touch Detective 2 1/2, and depending on how much you enjoyed the first game will decide how much you enjoy this outing. Like the previous game, Touch Detective 2 1/2's most entertaining moments come from interrogating various people, thanks to the insanely hilarious dialogue and Mackenzie's own inner thoughts. The art style still offers plenty of charm and personality, even though most of it is used again from the last game. What really kills Touch Detective 2 1/2 are the same things that did in the previous installment: the repetitive and shallow gameplay, and just plain inane puzzle elements. Combine these with the overly linear feel of the game, and you get pretty much what we got the last time around. The first Touch Detective was a surprise hit when released, and for those who enjoyed that game, you'll probably dig this sequel to some extent. For the rest of us though, Touch Detective 2 1/2 is best left on the shelf.

I have had fun with this game, although it is kind of silly and annoying at times. If you dont like games where you have to read alot then you wont like this game. It is just a silly fun game.

I love this little game! TD 2 1/2 is even better than the first TD. The strength of these games is that they don't depend on random minigames to progress the plot like so many other titles. The developers of TD aren't lazy. Everything you do--find, use, and combine objects, search places, question the many quirky inhabitants of this odd little town--makes sense within the context of the game. And the dialogue is quite witty, in the mold of the Phoenix Wright series.
I agree with the previous reviewer that the gameplay is too short--you can't play these games for weeks at a time like you can with the Harvest Moon series. But that's the nature of the whodunit genre. I'm looking forward to more TDs!
