Touch the Dead

"So Touch the Dead lacks any sort of originality, but it definitely has a place in the Nintendo DS line-up. It's a straight-forward, fun, intense action game that does a decent job of what it sets out to do...even if that's just to steal the House of the Dead idea before Sega decides to port it officially itself."

"The problem is that the game's misbegotten structure gets in the way of whatever little fun could be gleaned from the simple mindless violence."

"This game has the potential to last a long time, but only the few who are truly interested in this type of game will have the patience to see through that potential."

"Replacing a light gun with touch-screen support doesn't make up for Touch the Dead's contrived gameplay or its stiff, boxy presentation."
