Amazon.com Product Description

Secret Files: Tunguska is a single player, point-and-click adventure for Nintendo DS and DSi in which players investigate one of the great real-life scientific mysteries of the 20th century, the obliteration of the Siberian region of Tunguska. Playing as fictional heroine Nina Kalenkow, players utilize Nintendo touch screen controls, as well as additional search options to uncover clues and combinable items in an expansive gameworld that features more than 100 highly detailed locations and scrollable backgrounds across both screens. Story The adventure Secret Files: Tunguska begins with a baffling kidnapping. Nina Kalenkow’s world is turned upside down when she learns that her father, the scientist Vladimir Kalenkow, has vanished without a trace. Since the police can’t (or won’t?) help, Nina decides to search for clues to her father’s whereabouts on her own. On the way, she meets Max Gruber, one of her father’s colleagues, who spontaneously offers the attractive young woman his help. Discover the truth behind Tunguska. View larger. The trail leads Nina and Max to a mysterious disaster in the Tunguska region of Siberia in 1908, which Vladimir Kalenkow had been investigating. Does the disappearance of Nina’s father have something to do with his previous expeditions to Siberia? The search for an answer leads the two heroes from Berlin, around the globe and to the Antarctic, and it soon becomes clear that there are others who are also interested in Nina’s father’s secrets. After all, there’s much more going on than the mere disappearance of an old man. Gameplay Secret Files: Tunguska is a classic single player, point-and-click adventure game. Players use their choice of the DS/DSi stylus, or the D-pad to move heroine Nina Kalenkow around the gameworld in search of items to move action forward as well as clues to explain the disappearance of her father and the inexplicable and devastating disaster in Tunguska. Once found, select objects can be combined to create more useful items and if players choose, they can utilize the game's magnifying glass tool which will highlight items in the environment that Nina comes in contact with.

Point and click adventures seem like a perfect fit for the DS, where you can easily click on items using the stylus. Secret Files: Tunguska is a great game in this limited genre on the DS. The interface is smooth and easy to use (it even has a feature to help avoid pixel hunting or missing important items). Graphics are good, and the video cutscenes are fun. The game itself may have you scratching your head at times as to why a particular solution works. (If you get stuck, just start trying to put items in your inventory together or using items on everything in a location.) Fans of puzzly interactive fiction games and those missing the old LucasArts adventures must play this one! And please, designers, give us more point-and-click titles on the DS!

I pre-ordered this game August of 2009, and it finally was available in the USA just this week. I love this type of game and this one was worth the wait! I don't know how long this game goes on for, I hope not over quickly. If you like games like Syberia and Trace Memories you will like this one.

I actually got this for my wife as a gift because she really likes adventure games, but after she played it for awhile I tried it out myself and could not put it down! I had a lot of fun figuring out the different puzzles and matching items throughout the game. I personally had a lot more fun with this game than other adventure games like Siberia and would recommend this to anyone who enjoys this genre.
