The Mystery Deepens In Possible Hotel Dusk Sequel
Week in Games: Hotel Dusk Edition
Clips: Take On Hotel Dusk

However, while Phoenix Wright's story is very well tied in to the gameplay and has enough twists and turns to keep you glued to the screen for hours, Hotel Dusks's story was extremely slow-paced, with a complete lack of suspense until the final chapter, and was complemented by "puzzles" that held no challenge whatsoever and were as related to the plot as the numerous interactive knobs and levers in Myst.
I still enjoyed the game as a storytelling experience, and I'll still probably buy the sequel, but I wouldn't consider it a classic adventure game.

It's shame, the game had some personality, but personality can't carry a game unless you're trying to be minimalistic on purpose, and making a minimalist adventure game sounds even worse than having to play it.

I quite found it enjoyable, but I agree with the devs needing to take the audience at first chance, rather than just forcing them to wait before getting to the punchline.
Also, while we're on the topic, how did you enjoy Etrian Odyssey and Trace Memory?

Incidentally, I liked grinding in Mother Zero. There were only a few areas that you really needed to grind in (I love you, Woodoh!).
Now, Etrian Oddysey is grindier than a Korean MMO. It's also the finest dungeon crawler made in many a year. Imagine Demon's Souls with more personality and a higher difficulty. And the second one is even harder! They are challenging games that you have to constantly play smart at to even stand a chance at survival. #hotelduskroom215

The other big news being that the original Lufia team is making a new Lufia. #hotelduskroom215

Square Enix better not ruin Lufia. That franchise hasn't had a single bad game YET.

Man I hope that comes out here. Actually, has Tales of Hearts gotten any mention of coming to the US? I didn't like Symphonia much but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed Vesperia.

I wouldn't wanna play through Vesperia another time anyway. Twice is enough. #hotelduskroom215

But then again, Namco might just surprise us all. I wouldn't count on it. They've let us Tales fans down so many times in the past, we generally expect it. :( #hotelduskroom215

Want that DS one, though. #hotelduskroom215

Also, here's hoping that Rachel returns in some capacity. The conversations with her in the first game were class. She and Kyle had great chemistry. #hotelduskroom215

In what format does this game come?
Matching the DSi LL? #hotelduskroom215

@play_eminence: Looks more like an ad to me. There even is what looks like a release date (01/14/2010) . #hotelduskroom215

I hope the sequel has more puzzles and less TALK TO PERSON A, NOW PERSON B, REPEAT 4 TIMES. #hotelduskroom215
