G4TV: Again Review

After CiNG’s strong efforts in the genre, it’s sad to see that a game with the potential to deliver another distinctive handheld experience would flounder so much. While Again’s sleek prime-time crime drama aesthetic is appealing and, the initial crime investigation moments show off potential, and an early plot twist show off lots of initially grand potential, the game goes on to squander it with dull dialogue that never picks up, choppy pacing, and misfiring mechanics.

In this case, the shortcomings far outpace the best attributes of the experience. After several years of great adventure games on the DS, it’s truly shameful to see Again fall so short of great possibilities.
