Secret Files: Tunguska

This was the first game i chose for the ds i wasn't disappointed, however some of the riddles are a little abstract and items are not easy to link together. Although i guess i'd complain more if it was too easy!! I completed the game over 5 days this was however just after christmas and i had lots of free time!! I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys a game with a good background story and goals. The only downside is that you wouldn't be able to play this game again for a very long time after you finish it!!!

This game is so basic to look at it's almost untrue; the graphics are certainly not easy on the eye and the speech is grammatically incorrect in a lot of places (but it has been translated from German). If you can forgive these two, majorly obvious faults then you could be in for some addictive gameplay...

The puzzles are sometimes ridiculously easy to fathom and, at others, utterly bizarre and difficult. You can't progress through the story until you've exhausted all options and done everything right. This makes the gameplay very linear and will have you trying to combine everything you hold with everything around you in an effort to progress.

The story is good enough to keep you playing but not excellent enough to make you think about it after you've put it down.

It is an almost classic point and click adventure that will have you reminiscing about the days of Monkey Island (without the humour) and Broken Sword. A step in the right direction for the DS in my opinion but it only gets 3 stars because it hasn't pushed the boundaries of the genre enough, if at all.

Do you remember and love Broken Sword? If so you will adore this game! It is brilliant! The graphics, language, story and sound effects are exceptionally good.

Excellent game, if you like games like broken sword then you will love this one. Im a fan of games like these and in places I got a bit stuck but the suspense makes you more determined to finish the game. The ending isnt quite what I thought it would be, could have been a little better but a great suspense and mystery story.

I just bought the game today. Got to play it for a few hours. My inital thoughts were YES!! I love games like Monkey Island (classic Amiga game) and Broken Sword (another classic series). This game operates similar to these. Although it seems to be not as overtly witty. What you do is, go around and talk to people, find objects and use them to interact with your environment. If you like this you'll probably also like hotel dusk. Although this game uses static back grounds rather than Dusk's 3d first person navigation. But dusk is quite a humourous game and has a unique a-ha "take on me" comic book style. Beautiful looking game. Anyway, they don't make too many games like this (Tunguska) unfortunately. I would recommend Tunguska. If you like your point and tap adventures, chances are you'll like this.
