Good game overall. July 11, 2008
This is a good game if you don't mind reading a lot. I really enjoyed it but was a little disapointed at the end because of how the story developed, I think it left me with many questions unanswered, I am not sure if there is going to be a sequel but I hope there is. Overall a good game for a good detective mystery person.
 Not as good as I expected June 5, 2008

I read some great reviews on this game; one even came from my favorite (non-biased) electronic gaming magazine. Played it from start to finish and, well... I just expected so much more. My biggest beef was the extremely long dialogues. Play this game if you like the idea of walking around in a small hotel, talking to people over, and over, and over, and over...
 A little slow at first but once your into it...the game is GREAT! April 2, 2008

I can understand why people thought this game was boring. For the first bit, it is alot of character development.
The story line is excellent and will really grab you. The graphics are unique. The whole role playing as a gritty down-on-your-luck detective -- really cool. This is one of the best DS games I have played.
We need a second one!!, March 27, 2008

Yes we do indeed, because this game is so great. It leaves you wanting more. Well, it did me anyway. It took me 4 days to complete so it's just about long enough without been too long. But I wouldn't of minded playing for longer. I won't go into the story, as you can read the other reviews for yourself. But it really should be owned by everyone who has a DS Lite. It reminds me a lot of 'Titanic - Adventure out of time. Which is an old PC game. Ive played the first 2 Phoenix Wright's also, and this game is on a level with those, as been my 3 favourite games that I own.
Walking around the hotel and getting to know people and their stories is great. And i agree with another reviewer, it is a bit like LOST where the characters lives and pasts all seem to have something to do with one another. Sometimes, when you question people, you can go for the nice questions (which you should do or it's game over)! or the harsh ones, and telling a little girl that it was her fault her mother left was so tempting! I know i'm evil, but I didnt. So the story is so clever, and the way the characters are drawn are so clever, definately reminds me of the video for Take on Me by A-HA.
I must also say that when I read the reviews in the uk before buying, I noticed the ones that said you would need to be near a computer to read walkthroughs, because you'd definately get stuck, and i was like 'oh no, i'm good at these game, i won't need no walkthrough.' Well, i did - 4 times!! :) So my big head is back to normal now. I recommend the same for you guys, be prepared to get stuck a few times and need help.
I don't understand the people who criticise this game for it's amount of dialogue. What do they expect? It's a detective game, detectives have to ask questions and learn about people's lives. So of course there would be a lot of stuff to read. But I loved learning about characters lives. I'm now awaiting the third Phoenix Wright installment, and I know I will love that too!!
Buy this game, immiediately!
Truly riveting! Better than Phoenix Wright December 22, 2007

I have to say that I have truly enjoyed this game thus far. I'm several chapters into it and I'm finding it hard to put down. I've previously played Phoenix Wright, and I enjoyed the game but I have to say I enjoy this a lot more. Hotel Dusk involves a lot more depth into the mystery and problem solving which makes it more interesting and realistic. I understand how some may not like this becuase it could possibly feel boring if ur not invested or interested in the story line, but the story line is rather amazing. There is A LOT of reading in this, and that's basically because it's almost like a mystery novel. I don't know if anyone of ya'll have ever read the Goosebump books where you choose what the characters do and depending on what you choose you flip to whatever page the books directs you too and that determines your outcome. But yea this game is sort of like that. I feel also as if the game is a little less linear than the Phoenix Wright games, because you can choose the wrong choice at times and still turn out with a similar outcome. There are only 2 frustration i have with this game. 1) Sometimes when you mess up and you get a game over the game takes you too far back to restart, which can be a little frustrating. But this can be fixed by saving religiously, but sometimes I do forget. 2) I have the old DS system which is ridiculously heavy and my hand and wrist get ridiculous tired trying to prop up the DS after a while, especially since you hold it like a book with one hand. However this isn't really the games fault, and if i could make myself put the game down im sure my wrist would not suffer as much. Nonetheless, this is a great game, I truly recommend it to anyone who's looking for any point and click fans or any mystery fans also. You won't be dissapointed!
