I'm not disappointed. "Contact" has proven to be a very enjoyable distraction for me ever since it came out.The premise of the game is that you are helping a boy called Terry who is moored on a deserted island with a wacky professor. You are communicating with the professor via your DS and guiding Terry's movements (although he doesn't know you're there). Terry's mission is to help the professor find his ship's fuel cells while solving mysteries and puzzles, fighting bad guys, and gaining skills. In this sense, the game is just like most RPGs, but I believe that the level of gameplay is more sophisticated than your typical Final Fantasy or Zelda-type venture. Many elements of the game are borrowed from those successful series, but they are also combined with puzzle game elements and even "life simulation" elements such as those of Harvest Moon. Terry recharges energy by eating...

You (the player) have made contact with an enigmatic professor who is being chased by an unknown group. The ship is damaged, and while on the ground abducts a teenager named Terry.The game claims that it is like nothing ever seen before, but to be honest a lot of what you see in this game is fairly cliché. That's intentional actually; the game takes great pleasure in mocking gaming stereotypes: the villains (inter-galactic space terrorists) hide their identities as an underground rock group, and the government has a cloning program in the works (warning: one of the clones has escaped, codenamed Snake!) That said, Contact plays fairly well. Combat is pretty hands-off, as you direct Terry to attack an enemy, and then sit back and watch him go at it. You have the option of changing Terry's costume, and recieve bonuses or penalties based on the outfit you are wearing. Some are more physical in nature and...

Even so, I was doing pretty well if I do say so myself, and had to stop myself from playing anymore so I wouldn't waste the purchase later. :) It reminded me of other RPG-type games I've played in the past, such as NES' original Zelda. If you liked Zelda, you'll probably like this game. But buy it, or borrow from a friend who'll loan you the manual too! To have that help may make all the difference! :) |
