Game plays great. Storyline is typical mystery. Nicely developed characters. It is a pain to restart after a game over, so this game is fun to play once.

Hotel Dusk is one of the masterpieces of the DS. An absolutely perfect mystery game with puzzles specifically tailored for the hardware. This game will stick with you.

I’m still in the beginning but it is really fun! I’m enjoying it thoroughly.

The note taking and interactions make it feel a lot more immersive, and all of the chracters are so unique and interesting. Holding my DS on its side is a bit weird, but I quickly got used to it. I'm just a little sad that I was the first person to play my copy in a long little over 10 years. It's a great game for people who like solving mysteries themselves. It plays a bit like the Phoenix Wright games, but a but grittier.

Hotel Dusk falls into one of those categories that's difficult to describe. It's not exactly a 'game', per se, at least, not a game the way the average person would expect when hearing the word. No, Hotel Dusk is very text-heavy, and at times I felt more as though I were reading a slightly animated visual novel than I was playing a game. That's not to say the story is bad, the story is quite interesting, but I would recommend this more to people who love reading, especially mystery novels, with the occasional not-so-difficult puzzle thrown in now and again. The slight animations of the characters are quite lovely and the setting is nice to look at, but the location quickly becomes dull and I found myself not knowing what to do next part of the time. The music was quite good, though. I wish there had been voice acting. If you're looking for a very good, very interesting, very challenging puzzle game, I suggest looking elsewhere, especially the 999 games.

This game is my everything. I played it approx. 600 times and still can't get enough. The story, the characters, the music, the style, this game has it all. If you're into mysteries/thrillers, and don't mind a good read, this is the perfect game for you. The story and action is breathtaking and leaves your heart beating out of your chest at times. The mini-games seem somewhat simple sometimes though they never are, the easiest 'Where is the bookmark' assignment can get as nerve-wracking as ever. I recommend this game to any and everyone that ever touched a DS, simply because I think everyone needs to play this masterpiece.

I've heard really mixed reviews on this game throughout the years. When I got my DSi a few weeks back. I wanted to pick up some games to have with the system. This was one of the game I picked out at a GameStop in my area. The moment I put this game into my DS I was swept into the story. It's such a good scroll through mystery/puzzle game. The developers for the game really did well for this one.

Forget, zelda, mario and even dare I say pokemon. The games offered by these series for the DS pale in comparison to Hotel dusk and Last window. The art style is refreshing and looks great on the ds. Game play is really good, but the best part is it's engaging story. The only series I would even consider a worthy rival that's most popular on the DS would be ace attorney.

I'm just in love with this game! I love the mystery and the graphics. Sadly I didn't finish the game. I was either stupid enough to sell it or I lost it. Shame...I don't mind buying a used one though, just to play the game again!!

game was great! left my heart beating in the end :D the game at times made you think a lot which was GREAT! perfect for people who like the miles edgeworth or ace attorney series :D
