Best for ds

When i started playing this game, i thought i was about to play the best mystery game ever. Well, it was. The storyline couldnt have been better. The controls were good. It was a great challenge. (had to use a walkthorugh a few times :D). The music was kinda cool. Basically, you start out being a guy named Kyle Hyde who is an ex-police officer. He stays at this hotel hoping to get a clue about his former partner bradley. There are sooo many mysteries to solve, so many people to meet. You also find out that a friend named Louie from NY who now works at hotel dusk. Most of the way through you fill him in with information. The owner of the hotel is a guy named Dunning Smith. The maid that works their is named Rosa. There are many other guests and there are mysteries about them all. The main mystery in this game isnt completely solved, so i am really hoping there will be another game like it if not an addition coming out soon. I really recommend you go out an buy this game if you havent already and start playing. You wont regret it.

Great, but short

When I decided to play this game, I was excited and not disappointed at first. The mystery has many twists and turns that keeps you guessing until the very end. The role-playing is exciting. However, once you're done, you're done. I beat the game in two days, and all you can do afterwords is play it again with slight changes to some of the mini games. I ended up returning the game because it didn't take me long enough to finish it and I wasn't planning on playing it again after I had already solved the mystery. But it was a good plot-line. The main mystery that you start off with, however, is still not quite solved when you reach the end of the game, but since there are so many mysteries, one being left out isn't that important. The animation was fascinating, especially since it was 2-D, and the music was entertaining. It's a good game to rent, not to buy.

One of the best gaming storylines!

So if you're interested in lots of action with as little dialogue, then this MAY not be for you, but otherwise you can't go wrong with Hotel Dusk. You play ex-detective Kyle Hyde who leaves the NY force after shooting his partner Bradley in the Hudson River. He, Bradley, double crossed the police force and started working for a group of criminals called Nile. Kyle on the other hand is convinced that he is still alive and has spent the last three years looking for him as a door to door sales man in LA. So he ends up in a dump called Hotel Dusk and strange things keep on happening. The group name Nile keeps on being brought up, another guest with the same name as Kyle Hyde stayed there six months earlier, a famous painting of an angel, secret tunnels, your friend Louis from New York now works there, A strange mute girl named Mila with no past, every single guest in the hotel is connected to one another in some form, and everything ties back to Bradley. Can you solve the mystery that Hotel Dusk holds?
