    Now where do I start with this absolute masterpiece of a game, well I think it's best to start with it's background with the television series Cory In The House, which is the best anime of all time. This seems like a rather strong statement but it mostly due to its brilliant story telling and incredible portrayal of Bush era American politics but this isn't a review of the televisionNow where do I start with this absolute masterpiece of a game, well I think it's best to start with it's background with the television series Cory In The House, which is the best anime of all time. This seems like a rather strong statement but it mostly due to its brilliant story telling and incredible portrayal of Bush era American politics but this isn't a review of the television series it is a review of the game.
    When I first bought this game I initially thought it would be an incredibly derivative knock off of many similar FPS games like Half-life, Quake or Halo but I was blown away when I actually played the game by how it is not just much more innovative than those games but much more artistic and enjoyable.
    The game is set just after the show and you play as a disillusioned Cory who has lost all faith in electoral politics as he battles with injustice and in the later stages of the game attempts to start a revolution. This change in attitude in Cory from his attitude in the show where he is an electoral politician who attempts to make america a better place for the oppressed and remove corruption from american politics is symbolic of the american public losing faith in their elected representatives, in this regard Cory symbolises the inner-most desires of every american even past the want for money, money and more money. He is a man of the people.
    One thing I have not talked about at all yet is the gameplay and this is because of how it relates to the stellar storytelling that this game has to offer. The immediate start of the game starts with a flashback to Corys days as a man on his local council and takes the part of mostly visual novel like dialogue. This is followed up by the majority of the game being Cory having to defend himself with all means of firearms usage which is the FPS aspect of the game that I spoke about earlier. The level design during this part of the game is phenomenal and has extremely deep metaphors for the trauma that swept America after Seven Eleven. The final segment of the game contains mind blowing puzzles that foreshadow the heart wrenching tragedy that the game ends with.
    So to conclude I cannot praise this game enough, it has excellent gameplay, brilliant story telling and amazing graphics. I recommend this game to everyone.    … Expand

    This is hands down the greatest game ever made. How else do you think the Nintendo DS sold over 150 million units?

    The game has some of the clunkiest controls we've seen, the presentation is insultingly stupid, the minigames are hardly games at all, and on top of everything it's really short.

    Simply put, I cannot recommend Cory in the House for the DS, not even to the most hardcore fan of the TV series.
