I think this is one of the most misunderstood games ever made and is a masterpiece to say the least. Though i agree its not for everyone, if you stick with this game you're in for a real treat. Even if you think it may not be for you, you may be surprised if you give it a chance. Every time you set out on a delivery it's like an epic adventure. The story will have you very invested and at times touch your heart in unexpected ways. The progression of this game is absolutely satisfying. The structures and gadgets you unlock that make the treachery of delivery's that much easier and more efficient as you progress is nothing short of genius. The game evolves in such a way that from the first, to the second half, you almost feel like you're playing a new game. All games have room for improvement and DS is no exception but it is definitely a game everyone should at least play though one time.
