Sure, I knew it was going to be a short game, but under 5 hours? It actually took about 7 because my battery died and I had to replay the end of chapter 5, all of chapter 6, and a little bit past that.
Perhaps I'm putting too much stock in one game

However, this totally reminded me of the old Apple ][ days, and the quasi-graphic adventures. Which, is to say, a wonderful walk down nostagia way.
However, the plot is confusing and lame, and the ending lacks in a big way. The graphics are far better than those old Apple // games, and it's nice that most of the game can be played with the stylus or without.
All-in-all, not the reason to buy the DS. My next great white hope is Castlevania DS.
