Game Overview

The klaxon alarm is shrieking! Something is wrong! The Professor wrestles his damaged spaceship to a crash landing on a mysterious planet. In the aftermath of the crash, The Professor discovers that the power sources of his ship, known as Cells, have been scattered across the surface of this strange world. To retrieve them all, The Professor enlists the aid of a brave young man named Terry — and a brave video game player known as you! The Professor and Terry will ask for your help during the course of the adventure, using the Nintendo DS to "contact" you along the way. Will The Professor gather the Cells and return to outer space? Will you learn the goal of the mysterious organization that seeks to gather the Cells for itself? The future of an entire world has been placed in your hands!

The Good

Strange, quirky premise gives a great first impression, Lots of items and side quests to discover.

The Bad

Bland combat never really picks up, Having to go back and forth through the same areas feels like a grind, Fairly short main quest for a role-playing game.

A promisingly strange premise gives Contact a strong start, but the often-boring combat and exploration sequences that ensue just don't live up to it.

Contact has an easy to grasp control scheme, making it simple for anyone to pick up and play. However, the game is still incredibly deep, with tons of customization options for your journey.

Contact is an amazingly interesting title, and while it isn't necessarily for everyone, gamers who get into the design are going to find themselves rewarded with a ton of awesome content.
