Product Description

Manufacturer's 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. Of course you must solve a multitude of puzzles, mazes, and problems, but Myst's principal attractions are its environment and the underlying family drama that unfolds as you explore.

1.0 out of 5 stars Myst is a great game, but this DS version is atrocious. Atrocious beyond belief and description!, 9 Dec 2007
By Shawn Watson "God of Gods" (Badger's Brook, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
Oh, where to begin.

The game is horrible. Let me just say that much. On the PC or Mac Myst is still a wonderful game but it simply does not belong on the Nintendo DS. At least in it's current form.

Midway Games made as little effort as possible in re-writing the code for this game. It's a very lazy attempt at making money from fans of the series. The graphics are below average, the close-ups with the magnifying glass use the same animation so it's all blocky and utterly without detail, the sound effects and music are crackly and distorted and for a game that requires a keen sense of observation you'll be unable to finish it since important details are blurred and ugly. The earliest example of this that you will encounter is when you sit in the chair in the observatory. In the PC or Mac versions you can see the starfields when entering dates. On this one all you see is a black screen.

Ugly; such a fitting word to describe this worthless mess of a cash-in. Please take my advice and stay well away from Myst DS. To call it an atrocity would only be too kind.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT SPEND MONEY ON THIS GAME, 23 Dec 2007
By R. Carthy "bibliovore" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
I mean it. Don't buy it if you love Myst; don't buy it if you've never played Myst. Buy any other version than this. It's a truly terrible port. The bottom quarter of the touchscreen is covered with bog-ugly icons; the upper screen only shows a title screen or the result of using the "magnifying glass", which would be fine if that didn't only work properly on books - anything else you don't get more detail, just a blown-up pixellated mess. Which makes things like the tower rotation map and lift floor labels illegible.

As well as bad design it's bug-riddled. Occasional sprites floating to the left of where they should be are the least of it. The lift in the Mechanical Age is particularly bad; you have to turn yourself 360 degrees to make the controls display properly; the DS actually *freezes* when you exit from that Age and I've got a very strong suspicion that it's actually impossible to exit the Channelwood Age - you emerge on the 2nd level, the lift isn't working (or maybe that's just the flaky controls - oh yes, forgot to mention those...) and I've frankly lost the will to keep trying.

This is an appallingly bad port and frankly not fit for sale. I want my money back.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wish I could give no stars - the sad thing is it could have been excellent, 21 Jan 2008
By Adam D. Bisset "Philosopher" (Scotland) - See all my reviews

Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
All the previous reviews are correct - this is a terrible port of a great game to the DS. This is a shame, because the DS is ideally suited to the point and click nature of Myst. If only they'd produced new graphics from scratch rather than lifting them straight from the PC/Mac version. I enjoyed it for about half an hour, but only because I knew how to play through it already. If this was my first experience of Myst I'd be completely lost.
