Mays Mystery Forbidden Memories
SCORE: 86
May's Mystery Forbidden Memories on the
Nintendo DS is the same style of game as the Professor Layton games.
This is a puzzle game where there are a wide array of different kinds of
puzzles. The player goes on a quest as May searches for her missing
brother. Along the way she learns the secrets of the city of
Dragonville. There are forty unique characters, and two hundred and
seventy challenges in May's Mystery Forbidden Memories.
The screens in May's Mystery Forbidden Memories vary. There are anime
like movie clips shown throughout the game. The main characters have an
odd look to them, but I learned to adapt to them. The puzzles vary. Some
have very small graphics, and others are larger. May's Mystery Forbidden
Memories does include some light violence in it.
The music in May's Mystery Forbidden Memories is moody. It fits the
theme of this hand held title. I enjoyed the suspense the May's Mystery
Forbidden Memories provides when it was deciding if I had a puzzle right
or not. This was amplified when I was not sure if I had entered the
right answer or not.
The storyline kept me engaged from start until finish. The price of
May's Mystery Forbidden Memories is extremely reasonable for the amount
of content. Especially when you consider some of the mini games are
rhythmic. Family Friendly Gaming was provided a reviewable copy for this
review. After completing May's Mystery Forbidden Memories you will feel
like you accomplished something major.
I see one difference between the Professor Layton games and May's
Mystery Forbidden Memories. Normally the puzzles make sense in Professor
Layton. I ran into puzzles in May's Mystery Forbidden Memories that made
no sense to me whatsoever. I could go and do bonus puzzles to earn more
hint points though. The hints are very helpful in May's Mystery
Forbidden Memories.
May's Mystery Forbidden Memories is clear at every single point where
the player needs to go next. If you try and do the wrong thing it will
let you know that you really need to go over to this other place first.
I like games that clearly communication my objectives. May's Mystery
Forbidden Memories is definitely one such game.
There are some unsavory characters in May's Mystery Forbidden Memories.
The main character is on a wonderful quest to find her brother. I
appreciate the theme of family in May's Mystery Forbidden Memories. I
also appreciate how the puzzles in this Nintendo DS game will help
family members look at problems from different angles.
Red Wagon Games has a hit on their hands with May's Mystery Forbidden
Memories. I hope to see sequels in the near future. It was a real
pleasure for me to play and review May's Mystery Forbidden Memories.
