TouchMaster 2

DS Review
Publisher: Midway
Developer: PhoenixSoft
Players: 1-2

Midway has put out another collection of casual games for Nintendo DS owners in the form of TouchMaster 2, and it is definitely a step up from the original.

Midway has done a good job to this point on both the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo Wii in trying to garner attention from casual gamers.

Last year, they released TouchMaster, a collection of games which users could play on their DS.  They have now come back with a sequel, hoping to build on the success of the original.

The sequel comes from the same developer who did the original, and is far superior in every single way.

You get a total of 20 games in the package here which range across many genres as these mini-games are a blast to play.

Not only are they fun, but they also support multi-player as you can battle it out with a friend on just one single cartridge, a huge bonus!

Some of the games included here are quite addictive, with a couple of examples being Spellwinder, Scavenger, Triples, and others.

You get a variety of games from card games, to more classic type games which you would expect here.

A lot of TouchMaster 2 revolves around trying to draw certain things on the touch-screen.  I guarantee you will definitely get addicted to one or two of these.

TouchMaster 2 is a lot of fun and is a nice addition for casual gamers on the Nintendo DS.  Worth checking out if you love those mini-games.

Graphics: 6.5 The visuals are respectable, but nothing all that impressive.  Better colors could have improved things.

Audio: 6.5 The soundtrack is very bland to say the least.

Gameplay: 7.5 Some of the games are very addictive, some not so much.

Replay Value: 8.0 The single-cart multi-player, trophy system, and variety of games are huge bonuses!

Final Score: 7.5
