Is Contact on the DS any good?

Metacritic score of 72, seems to be mixed reviews of it - it's either fantastic or poor depending who you listen to.

Only Â£8 from Tesco Jersey though, so maybe worth a punt. A fair few other games around that price too.

We have picked up Bomberman Touch Land and Chocobo Tales from there to put away for the kids for Christmas - gotta start getting stuff, it's approaching now.

I wanted to love it and got frustrated.
There are things I did love, though, for instance the interface and art styles.

Like I said before when the DS equivalents were announced: I'll believe it when I see it. Altern8 is (or was, at least up to six months ago) a one-man 'publishing house'. I don't believe their PC Speccy compilation (which was slated by Retrogamer due to its less than stellar selection of games and awful interface) ever made it to the shelves, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

(Edit for SPaG reason)

I'm watching the intro.

So is it any good then?

Some people have said it's way too short?

Probably not that short if he's just watching the intro...

Just beaten the first proper boss (which was an almost Shadow of the Colossus-style task) and am happy to report that it's just... lovely. In every way.

Normally dispatched within 21 days.

I can see why you would start planning your Tesco-purchases this early...
