Sadly, for all its sci-fi, paranormal, cybernetic cartoon mythos, none of it translates to interactive, touch screen gameplay very well. Lots of perplexing reading and cryptic deciphering in this one, along with some hopelessly derivative, side-scrolling action, novel only in the fact that much of the interaction has you scrawling runes with the DS's stylus on the lower screen to invoke special attacks and defenses (and play a few minigames) in the game playing out on the upper screen. That when you're not simply mashing a button.
Probably pretty cool for those aforementioned cultist that dig the whole industrial grade magic of the series, but alternately tedious and bewildering for everyone else.
