One thing gamers will notice right away about Contact is it's not an easy game. Cash resources are thin and once you get into your first real dungeon, you'll realize you should do some more leveling up before you let the skeletons wax you. For those looking for a roots RPG, Contact stays true to the formula.In addition to the traditional leveling up and complement of weapons that affect your attributes, Terry can find different suits that give him extra elemental power and bumps up his attributes.The dungeons are well-crafted and hidden rooms are tough to find, as they should be. Gamers won't spend too much time listening to mindless banter from non-playable characters (NPCs). Instead, they get thrown right into the action of battling, battling and more battling. You can kill everything you see, even if it's not bothering you, but that hacking can adversely affect your prestige rankings.Through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection is where you really make contact. Up to eight friends can visit you on WiFisland. Once another gamer makes contact with you, that player becomes an NPC in your game. They can give you items and teach you techniques. One you start conversations with these NPCs, new events will trigger. The more friends who join you on WiFisland, the more benefits you'll experience. Secret events will occur outside of WiFisland, as well, including finding new treasure, unlocking rooms, finding new NPCs and more.Bottom Line
Contact delivers a fun experience and stays true to RPG roots.
