It’s quite rare for a PC game to be ported directly to the DS. The games’ animation will suffer during the conversion. Therefore Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle should be considered a class of its own. For one, Runaway will be the first to use the VX2 video codec for the DS. This gives the game more than one hour of cut scenes that are vital for the storyline and to provide comedic relief as well. That’s the reason why Runaway will be shipped in the largest DS cartridge to date.

But what good is the animation if the game is not that great. Well a million PC gamers would vouch for Runaway’s quality. It is an adventure game that promises to give you tons of fun and humorous gaming hours.

This single player game lets you in the adventure of Brian and Gina as they search for each other across the globe after being separated by a plane crash. Uncover clues to each other whereabouts and meet other characters in the course of the game.

It’s point-and-click gameplay and humor brings back memories of classic RPGs such as Monkey Island, Police Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry. Now, if only more publishers bring the fun back into games and stop giving us casual non-games then Nintendo can expect more gamers to be getting their own DS.

Runaway: The Dream of the Turtle is already out in the market. Below is the trailer for the game.
