Tag Games working in collaboration with Strike Team Games have (with the exception of a reduced soundtrack and intro movie) succeeded in including all of the features of the iPhone game in a download that is less than 16mb in size! Farley continues “Car Jack Streets is a miniature marvel! Our technical team has succeeding in squeezing a huge iPhone game into a DSiWare™ download. What Nintendo DSi™ gamers are getting is all the fun and content of the original, but with a much improved control scheme and an ‘always on’ city map!”

When the black spot appeared in the Antarctic, mankind became nervous; when it began to spread, that anxiety turned to panic. The Joint Project, convened to discuss how to deal with the expanding anomaly, decided to send in four ships carrying humanity’s finest soldiers and most cutting-edge technology. The mission: to investigate what lay on the other side of what had been dubbed the Schwarzwelt and find out if there was a way to stop it from eventually covering the Earth. You are an elite soldier hand-picked for the Strike Team, outfitted with a Demonica environment suit and posted to the Red Sprite under Commander Gore. Upon entering the Schwarzwelt, the crew finds itself forced to deal with harsh conditions, supernatural interference, and throngs of demons populating the bewildering world. What exactly is the Schwarzwelt? What awaits at the end of this strange journey? It is entirely in your hands to find out. [Atlus USA]
Destructoid – 90
As far as Nintendo DS role-playing games go, this is my new favorite, hands down. But then again, I’m a huge fan of both dungeon crawling and Atlus’ Shin Megami Tensei series games.
Game Informer – 88
Uncovering all the Schwarzwelt’s secrets will keep you glued to your DS for hours of intense RPG action. [Issue#203, p.96]
Nintendo Power – 80
For better or for worse, it makes the player the master of his own destiny. As it turns out, that’s a heck of a challenge, but the challenge is worth it. [Apr 2010, p.87]
GamePro – 70
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, challenging RPG experience, this is a Strange Journey worth taking; those who take issue with the thematic elements, however, might want to go adventuring elsewhere. [March 2010, p.91]
Nintendo Power – 95
With its bevy of new features and improvements, old-school Pokemon fans will love this return to Johto, and if you’ve been dismissing this series as “kids stuff” all this time, this is an ideal opportunity to redeem yourself and see what all the fuss is about. [Apr 2010, p.84]
Official Nintendo Magazine UK – 94
It may not be too revolutionary but this is by far the biggest, most packed Pokemon yet. [Mar 2010, p.67]
Destructoid – 90
While it is, at its core, the same game that you’ve played many years ago, it still manages to feel new and the updated features bolster the original experience in a manner that never intrudes and only enhances. Put short, this is a lot of fun and something that a huge amount of DS owners should look into.
Games Master UK – 88
It’s still the Pokemon you know and love – and handheld entertainment of the highest order. [Apr 2010, p.78]
NGamer UK – 88
The Pokemon formula stays unchanged, but Gold and Silver remain our favourites. Essential for Johto newcomers and veterans. [Mar 2010, p.94]
IGN – 85
The Pokewalker is the Pokemon equivalent of the free prize inside a cereal box: you might find yourself buying it for the gadget than the game itself, but it’s the game itself that contains all the deliciousness.
Games Radar (in-house) – 80
HeartGold and SoulSilver are undeniable rehashes, but Nintendo’s signature polish and the Pokewalker make it easy to overlook the recycling. It’s hard to argue with a gameplay formula that still manages to be fun 15 years after the fact, but as usual, there’s little here to draw new players into the franchise.
Today seems like it will be a great day for Nintendo’s downloads. On WiiWare, we get the highly anticipated Wii Motion Plus fighter game Rage of the Gladiator and a 3-sport shooting game called Triple Shot Sports. We recommend RotG over TSS, though. On the Wii Virtual Console, we get the original TurboGrafx-16 CD game Castlevania Rondo of Blood. For the DSiWare market, we get 4 titles, which makes sure there should be at least one that will excite you. Zoo Frenzy seems to be a zoo simulator with mini-games, 101 MiniGolf World is exactly what it sounds like with up to 8-player support, Battle of Giants: Dinosaurs – Fight for Survival pits your dinosaur up against others as you fight to the death, and Car Jack Streets seems to be a top-down GTA-clone. What will you pick? Feel free to share your thoughts and experiences. As always, you can check out the official press release below, where we have embedded gameplay videos to help you out.
