Gameplay

Apart from its single-player mode, the game has cooperative and multiplayer options when players have multiple copies of the game.[2]

Reception

The game received "mixed" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.[3]

IGN's Daemon Hatfield wrote that the game lacked personality but was fun as a limited activity. He felt that its "seek-and-find" gameplay would have tired quickly after much longer. Hatfield said that the game took full advantage of the Nintendo DS's unique features. He also praised the game's details, particularly the sound design, which he felt made the game world more enveloping. Hatfield gave the game a rating of 7.7/10.[2]
