I played this once on the DS Lite, and the D-Pad was terrible compared to the original DS....

But oh well, I'm willing to play.

Let's try and get more than two people.
 
If my touch screen was so messed up, I'd be off to battle you. I was uber back in the day, but I am sure my skills have worn off by now. I need to come up with cash quick!
 
Justin has stylus (and pivoting) issues, but he did get me to my 3-star, whatever that is.

Everyone already knows I fail at MPH in all ways.
 
Haha, eff this game.

I go into matchmaking or whatever Nintendo calls it, and I search for "My rank" 3-stars, whatever that means. I get paired with a 5-star hunter, and he chooses Ice Hive and Sylux. I choose Random and Noxus. Ice Hive gets chosen. I know Ice Hive has the incredibly ******** DeathAlt, which is nothing more than an excuse to add something to the game, no matter how much it screw up the gameplay. I figured he'd go for it, and since he's Sylux, he's probably the fastest or something. He gets it, and I try and freeze him. Either you can't freeze those in DeathAlt, or latency was kicking in, as I could hear him screech but not freeze. Anyways, I didn't realize that this map also had an insanely fast respawn timer on the double damage power up, something put in for no good reason just like all the other power ups. He also seems to know about some weird geometry in the level that lets him stand right above where I spawn and snip me to his heart's content, and since he has double damage constantly, he can kill me in one hit.

So basically, this game has broken matchmaking, broken geometry, broken level selection, and broken mechanics. Oops, sorry? Let's not forget about Bulerias's favorite tactic shadowfreezing, which lets him freeze me from God knows how far. But can Nintendo fix that? Nah. No way to update the game. I would've beat this guy when he was Trace as Spire on Head Shot, but twice he managed to get the DeathAlt right before death and kill me through some unknown means. Don't even get me started on how much Alt Forms in general mess up what could've been a good game.

And why didn't they put a nice multiplayer aspect in Corruption? That would've been great. A Nintendo FPS with online, and if they fixed the major errors from MP:H, it would've been a better-looking version of this game, which could have been good were it not for its lack of any real single player and lackluster online service, provided by Nintendo, screwing everything up, yet still making enough money to keep doing it somehow.

Thanks Nintendo, your online play is really top-notch. Oh wait, that's right, you managed to screw everything up. Oh well, at least we have Animal Crossing, too bad it takes forever to connect and you have to prearrange things usually.

Also, Nintendo needs some new IP's.
