It seems an hour and a half is the going rate for a two-player game of this. Today’s board was “Koopa’s Town”, or something named similarly, and was somewhat different to any of the other boards I’d played (even on previous Mario Party games). You see, there are hotels along the board, and as you pass them, you invest coins in them. Whoever has the most coins invested, owns the hotel. However, if the total number of coins invested (by …
Doesn’t the title of this post just fill you with thoughts of fun and excitement? Of things you love to do on warm, sunny days? Of course it does. On Friday evening, I thought (as you do), “I know! I’m going to create my own RSS feed in PHP!”. And promptly did. Hurrah! Thing is, it turned out to be a lot harder than I expected, due to the lack of full and/or correct information on the internet. Here then, …
Finally, I’m into the trial on Case 4. It took ages talking to people to get the evidence needed to move on, and it all got a bit odd when Edgeworth returned. Phoenix seems to hate him, but I can’t recall why from the end of the first game – especially since Edgeworth essentially handed the final case from that over to Phoenix. Perhaps my memory isn’t all it once was… Much of this trial looks like it’ll rotate around …
It’s Ouendan! Only new! And in English! In fact, it’s actually more like a sequel, as it improves on the original in some areas (you can skip cutscenes for a start), and has a different plot and entirely new scenarios. As you can see from the title of this post, I’ve completed it already, even though it only arrived this morning. However, I have only done it on the easiest setting, and only had to retry one level once (the …
This chapter seem to go on for ever! I’ve just been through the courtroom section of the second day, but it took aaaaaaaages. I’m sure I spent about two hours on it. I think the length of the game is mainly due to the huge amount of text that requires reading, but I messed up the cross-examination a few times so ended up having to redo it. Tch. Anyway. Only half of the final chapter left!
Blimey. This final case is a bit long! I’ve spent hours on it this evening, and not only is it more complicated than the previous ones, but you get new “investigating powers” (like examining objects in 3D and stuff). And it’s really long. I’m expecting it to be three days of trial (like most of the other cases), but so far I’ve spent several hours doing detective work and haven’t really started in the courts yet. And this Angel Starr …
About another 20 tries this morning, and a few near misses, and I finally, finally, finished Normal Mode. Finally. Finished. Gibber. I only had ONE miss in the end, and only just managed to spin the final wheel before dying. My arm hurts. My index finger has a stylus-end shape gouged into it. My DS is relieved it hasn’t been snapped in half. And now, Hard mode with Impressive Chin and Hat Man has been unlocked. And oh, it’s hard …
