i must say, for the number of years its been since the original came out, you'd think the graphics would have actually improved. maybe they're taking things one step at a time and this one is about improving gameplay. the graphics will have to wait until the next game of the series. on a side note, DS was probably the most disappointing game i had bought back in the day. lasted 2 weeks before ... bleh. so, i might be a bit bitter against the series still.
