Game Vortex reviews Myst DS

Chris Meyer reports:

''Ahh, a blast from the past, and what better system to put the revolutionizing adventure title Myst onto than the DS. So how does this decade-old game stand up to the test of time? Well, it could be better, and quite frankly, it really depends on your original opinion of the game.

Graphics are an interesting part of this game. It is hard to remember how well the original game looked on my PC. At the time, I remember them being really good, but compared to today's standards, it isn't the best and is really pixilated at times. Honestly, it's hard to tell if the pixilation seen in Myst DS is because of the detail in the original artwork, or if it is because of the compression used to get all of those images onto the DS.

What I did find amazing was the developer's ability to still include the spliced-in FMVs. Myst has a lot of moments where throwing a switch or turning a knob causes a section of the static image to become a movie that shows how you've affected the world, and all of those videos were able to make it onto the little cartridge.''
