Platform: Nintendo DS | Edition: Standard

Amazon.com

Myst, the number-one-selling game title of all time with more than 13 million units sold, is THE adventure to have on the DS. Myst is one of the most well known adventure licenses in the world.

The classic adventure that defined the genre, Myst, brings hours of immersive play to the Nintendo DS. Myst is an engaging experience that pulls players into beautiful yet eerie worlds with unique settings in varied times and places. The non-linear game play of Myst is designed unlike any other adventure game with no instructions, inventory, death or dialogue. Myst is about the experience encountered throughout the breathtaking worlds and environments. While venturing through the six worlds of Myst, players help individuals trapped in parallel dimensions ? without ever actually encountering living beings ? by solving a multitude of puzzles, mazes and problems. Close observation and precise logic will help players unlock the secrets of Myst.

Features:

  • Immerse yourself in six worlds ("Ages") that for the first time include the totally new ?Rime Age?, a new Arctic world for DS players to explore as they endeavor to uncover clues and solve the mysteries of Myst.
  • Newly re-mastered Video, audio and new music.
  • Solve a multitude of puzzles which will challenge your skills of perception and thought. And Unravel hidden mysteries that will reveal the dramatic events of the islands past.
  • New interface ? The game uses the stylus as the key method of interaction and takes advantage of the dual screens to enhance game play. The upper screen provides information and allows players to view magnified images while the bottom screen is used to access mini-tools and navigate throughout Myst.
  • New mini-tools
    • Players have a new arsenal of tools at their disposal including a magnifying glass, camera, notebook and map.
    • Magnifying glass ? With this tool, players can closely inspect clues and items as well as interact with them.
    • Camera ? The camera allows players can take a snapshot to use for future reference.
    • Notebook ? Players can keep notes in their diary as they travel through Myst.
    • Map ? The map can aid in exploration by pinpointing key locations.
  • Original soundtrack ? The players experience is enhanced by new music and sound effects that add to the realism of the game.

Product Description

Myst is an immersive experience that draws you in and won't let you go. You enter a unique setting, venturing alone to varied times and places, the worlds that compose Myst. There are no instructions, and you encounter no living beings but soon realize your actions may help individuals who are somehow trapped in a parallel dimension. You don't so much play Myst, as experience it.

2.0 out of 5 stars an unfortunate let-down, May 19, 2008
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Myst (Video Game)
I was excited when I found out that Myst was going to be ported to DS. Within a few minutes of playing, I was already disappointed. It was as if the developers had never played any DS games to see what kinds of things the DS can do. If I were to port this game all over again, here's what I would change:

Pull-down Menus - right now, all the icons are on the main play screen (bottom screen), taking up about 1/3 of valuable real estate. The graphics already had to be made smaller for the DS screens, and then they made it worse by adding icons. I think tabs or a menu button that could open and close the menu would have been better.

Zoom and Pan - There is currently a zoom tool, but all it does is display the exact same image, just a hair larger, onto the top screen. It's not very useful at all. In fact, things are so small I have to use a magnifying glass that I normally use for embroidery. :P

Better Use of the Dual Screens - Perhaps the perpetual icons wouldn't have been so bad if you could swap between screens. But the top screen is hardly used. You can display the "magnified" version of what you are looking at (but if you turn or walk forward it flips back to the title screen) and it used for displaying a map that has text that are about 2 pixels big. The only time in the game you can pan is when you are reading a journal. The journal panning is pretty decent, but on someone else's review they said they should have made it so you read the journals sideways like a book (like how Brain Age is oriented.) I like that idea.

A Better Note Taking Feature - You can take notes using a little keyboard but it's limited. If you've made a mistake typing two lines up, there is no way for you to tap and place your cursor there - you have to delete everything in between! I think a better note taking feature is one where you can use your own handwriting, like on Zelda.

More Screenshots - You can take screenshots of clues, but you can only save one at a time.

I've read several reviews where people complained about the sound. To be fair, the sound is actually pretty good if you have headphones on. It definitely does not sound as good coming out of the DS speakers.

I was finally able to enjoy the game after A.) I used a magnifying glass B.) used headphones C.) took notes with pen and paper instead of the in-game tools. I would not recommend the DS version unless you are willing to put up with all that. However, Myst itself is a great game which is why I gave it a fun rating of 4 stars. If you have never played it before, try the PC or console version.

1.0 out of 5 stars The developers of Myst for DS have massacred a great game, May 26, 2008

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Myst (Video Game)
Myst is a great game, but I suggest you find another platform to play it on. This port is riddled with bugs. When flipping through the books, the pages skip around, the upper screen has become distorted, the touch screen controls are finicky, you can't read anything without using the zoom feature, and the screen capture tool (used as a form of note taking) flips books back to page one before taking the shot. I've only played it for about an hour and I can't believe Nintendo let them release the game in this state. Bottom line, don't buy this version of Myst. The developer who ported this doesn't deserve your money.

1.0 out of 5 stars I should have listended, June 30, 2008
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Myst (Video Game)
Like most others I was excited to see Myst coming to the DS. I should have listend to the reviews. This game did not transfer well to the DS. It is extremly hard to nagivate and the screen is very little. The zoom feature may as well not be there it does nothing to help you look at things. If you love this game and own a DS DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! I would highly recommend you try it out from a game rental site before you buy it. I plan to trade mine in with only an hour played.
