Default Rate Your DS Games!!!

I just got a DS about a week ago and I was wondering what people think about games they've played and any recommondations that could help me decide what to get. Just make a list of your favorite games for the DS and rate them from "1-10"

My current games: Ratings

Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hour Glass 9.5

Final Fantasy III 9.0

Castlevania:Portrait of Ruin 9.75

...and that's all I've got so far,so any suggestions would help.

Professor Layton: And the Currious Village. 9.7/10 - beautyful art style with a very interesting story to go with it. But a Puzzle game wouldn't be a puzzle game without puzzles, which are very well done, and quite challenging.

Final Fantasy Xll: Revenant Wings. 9.2/10 - Though there are few cut sceens, they have the best graphics the DS has to offer. Along with an amazing Final Fantasy soundtrack, with a fun new challenging fighting style. With over 80 missions, this game is just to much to handle.

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. 8.7/10 - Although it's probably one of the easiest Zeldas ever made, it's certainly one of the funnest, and funniest. Nice little graphics with a very new unique way of playing, Phantom Hourglass is a blast. Every dungeon has a unique style, with different puzzles and unique bosses every time. It could be great, but the puzzles and fighting are very easy. When I play it, I limit myself to four hearts, the game feels much better that way. Although it's really short compared to Windwaker, since it had over 40 islands, when Phantom Hourglass maybe only has 14. But it's very fresh, and doesn't feel like all of the other Zeldas.

Diddy Kong Racing DS 7.7/10 - Apparently it's just a remake of the N64 one, but to me it's all new. The graphics could use some touch ups but other than that they look fine. The racing style works very well, it has more controls, which allows it to work btter than Mario Kart. It has quite a few tracks, each one with a different beautyful pice of music, and style of how to race. You can also personalize the game but making voice recordings, posters, and paint or upgrade your kart. You can even race in either a kart, boat or a plane, which ads a little something more to it. It also has lots of replayability with unlockible charaters, tracks, battle modes, single player modes, and lots more. It also has a very nice online where there's tons of options to chose from.

didn't think you even used your DS that recently.

Anyways So far Advance wars Days of Ruin is a 9/10. I haven't even gone through all the things to do yet. But I love making stages. (I'm gonna make a Hyrule feild stage from ocarina)

I got it back when I got the Orange Box. Obviously, one of them gets more use.

Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time (Forgot I had this): 8/10

Am I imagining things.....or is that rating......OVER NINETHOUSAND!!!!


...


Sorry, I couldn't help it....stupid internet..
But anyways, I'm just going to list my best and worst, it'd take too much time to rate them all:
BEST
Osu Tatakae Ouendan 2: 9.8/10 (would be perfect, but the spinner is so annoying and there could be 1 or 2 more bonus songs)

WORST
Yoshi Touch & Go: 7/10 (the gameplay is fine, but I stink at it and there isn't much else to do)
&
Nintendogs: 7/10 (it was good when I first got it, but as with Yoshi, there isn't a whole lot to do)

Final Fantasy III: **** (4/5, Very Good)
Pokémon Pearl Version: *** (3/5, Good)

All of my ratings follow my iTunes five-star rating scheme:

1: Awful, don't wish to ever play again
2: Fair, but wouldn't care to play again
3: Good, could play again if pressed/bored
4: Very good, would enjoy playing again
5: Excellent, one of my favourite games (rare rating)

Sonic Rush: 4/5, very good after all the terrible 3D games, but suffers from almost no replay value. The levels are too hard past the first zone to warrant playing them again for fun, and the special stages are the most fiendish things ever, but it was awesome while playing through it the first time. Has really awesome music too

Sonic Rush Adventure: 4/5, a lot more replay value than the first, but let down by near impossible missions. THe levels are easier somewhat., but still not worth playing through more than once

Final Fantasy III DS: 2/5, I loved the NES original, but this remake to me, is dull, ugly and sleep inducing. I also cant stand most 3D DS graphics, as the DS can barely handle them, and when it can, they look horrible. We live in an era where 128 bit (PS2) graphics is the lowest standard for 3D, not 64

Pokemon Pearl: 2/5, the same old **** yet again, pretty much nothing new thats worth anything, and even more kiddy then ever before (Why is everything happy looking, and pinkish purple? ARGH)

I have more, but cba listing more at the moment

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Blue: 4/5, this on the other hand, was very refreshing to me, and the later parts of the game are extremely challenging. Like all Pokemon games though, you still need to devote three lifetimes to get everything though.
