    An intriguing story and the visual flair are still there but the usual Cing problem of mundane, glued-on gameplay still stands. Again is an excellent murder mystery but one that would work better as a novel rather than an interactive novel.

    This is a murder mystery game with a couple of interesting twists. You can like see the past and use that to help you with your case. This, with the 3d crime scene investigations makes for an interesting concept. The writing, for a visual novel game, is almost so bad it's good and they tried to use stop motion for most of the game. It's just funny to laugh at.

    Again is a peculiar game. It gets close to an interactive novel, and it can catch the player's attention with a splendid story and some interesting characters.

    Again is a combination of various things, from crime shows to adventure games, but it seemingly takes the bad parts of all of them.

    Still, they're a fresh new twist that really make use of the DS hardware and, along with a good story/dialog, make picking up Again an open-and-shut case for budding crime-solvers with a taste for the unusual. [Apr 2010, p. 89]
