The Video Game Critic

I was up all night playing DIG DUG: DIGGING STRIKE for the DS and was shocked you gave it an F! I LOVE this game, it is extremely fun and playable. The opening story was long but the fact that Mr. Driller is DD's son was cool. I wouldn't give the game an A; my main beef is that it is often impossible to dig straight up to a post, requiring a lot of tedious horizontal movement, and the rolling rocks were dumb, I loose more lives to those than to the enemies, who are much more reluctant to chase DD than in the original. But playing a mini XEVIOUS is cool, and old time gamers will love a lot of the old references here.

I'd up the score of this to at least a C or B-! Anyone else like this game and agree with me? Should Dave re-review it?

First things first: For those wondering, the smiley face in the title was an error that came up when I tried to type a colon D.

VGC, pay no attentions to the rantings of this strange ALIENBLUE guy. Yes, I admit it, DDDS sux! I was lost in the nostalgia factor of the story and mini games, and the first two levels truly ARE fun. But starting with level three the islands get BIG, your work is HUGE, and the game becomes VERRRY tedious! - it is still not an F game to me, but not deserving of more than a C- or D either (You HAVE to play Dino Duel to understand what a DS "F" or maybe "Z-" game truly is!)....sorry to bother you.
