Hotel Dusk: Room 215

Ichigo Style · 01-27-2007, 09:49 PM

Has anyone else picked up this amazing game? I remember seeing a trailer for it a bit back, and being fairly interested in it, and a couple of days ago it just magically popped on my stores shelf! The art style is something that i'm VERY impressed with, the way the characters are drawn is just so refreshing, the story seems to be interesting as well. There are even some little details that I was impressed with (oddly?) Like how you as a player need to take notes that YOU need to write yourself, or when you sign into the hotel, and you kinda scribble across the area and the character writes out his information. Sadly, this game probably won't sell well

But thats what I said about Phoenix Wright XD

Is it worth picking up?

Its definitely on my Want List. I'm a huge huge fan of Phoenix Wright if that helps.

It is better than Phoenix Wright by FAR. PW is like garbage before the might and gruff of Kyle Hyde.

It's also surprisingly long. Round 15 hours.

From the little bit that I've played of it so far, it's very very good.

Picking up tomorrow then =)

Believe me it's awesome. It looks amazing, plays amazing, feels amazing, and has an amazing story. Amazing everything!

But I thought it was more then 15 hours long?

Well, I assume Chapter 10 is the last one so if it isn't, then yeah, it's longer. I might just be fairly good at the genre.

I'm happy to see that other people have picked this game up!
Could anyone recommend me a game thats similar to this? I absolutely love the style! The only game I have to recomend is Famicom Detective Club II: The Girl in Back (for the SNES), I know theres one before that, but It's not translated into english :'(
<edit>How in the hell could I forget Snatcher!?

I've heard this game is killer too. It looked really good from what I'd seen so far, but unfortunately money's tight right now, so I can't get it T_T.

It's definitely towards the top of my wants list though.

I heard that it was more like an interactive novel than PW is. Is it still interactive enough to keep me from nodding off? I mean, I like a good story and all but I don't want to just sit there scrolling through text. At least PW has the courtroom segments.

WOW! I didn't know if i should get this or not, but it looks like there's a lot of good buzz for it~ Getting it Monday!

That is incorrect. There is a lot of text but quite honestly, you're actually moving about moreso than in PW. You solve puzzles and interact with the environment and the conversations with people have multiple paths. You control your own self walking around the hotel and you can go wherever you're able to go. It's not point and click at all.
