Gamecyte reviews Myst DS

Once upon a time, a game called Myst heralded a new era for gaming. The mysterious title (no pun intended) showed gamers what could be realized in the next generation of interactive entertainment – lush, immersive worlds, brought to life through painstakingly pre-rendered graphics, full-motion video, and studio-recorded sound. These are all design elements which, today, are either taken for granted or utterly obsolete, but to a world which had only just embraced the CD-ROM, they were unprecedented. Audiences had never seen a game like Myst, and it became an icon, bundled in with every CD drive, holding a record in sales for a decade. -
