GamesRadar - DS Adventure Games

Chaotic: Shadow Warriors

Based on the popular kids show and card game, this action-RPG expands the show's universe with a plot by writers from the TV series.

Again

A new sleuth game from the makers of Hotel Dusk with the neat trick of analyzing a crime scene in the present while also seeing the events that transpired there 19 years before during a string of murders.

Dragonology

6/11/2009

Based on a popular book, find and capture dragons through a series of minigames and fact finding missions.

Daniel X: The Ultimate Power

Based on the book series by James Patterson, Daniel X allows players to create objects out of thin air and implement them to overcome obstacles, save friends and prevent the aliens on The List from taking over the world.

Okamiden

A spin-off to the quintessential "underappreciated gem," this Okami side-story features a puppy-sized version of the dog god and the child of two of the main characters in the first game.

Assassin's Creed II: Discovery

A spin-off to the upcoming console sequel, follow along as protagonist Ezio travels to the new world so he can to stab folks in the back.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge

The lovely 2D genie Shantae returns in this DSiWare sequel to the Game Boy Color adventure classic.

Ghost Trick

From the minds behind the Ace Attorney series, this new title is about a ghost trying to help the living and find out how he died.

Rooms: The Main Building

It may seem like a straightforward tile-sliding puzzle game, but an emphasis on story and the ability to create your own levels might just keep this one interesting enough to recommend.

Horrible Histories: Ruthless Romans

7/08/2009

A family game that imparts the history of the Romans in a kid-friendly way, we're guessing it has no feeding Christians to lions or crucifixions.

Chronicles of Mystery: Curse of the Ancient Temple

The previously PC-only Chronicles of Mystery series arrives on the DS in this new adventure.

Where's Waldo? The Fantastic Journey

22/09/2009

The drawings are in the same brilliantly detailed style as the books, but they’re wasted on such small screens. It’s nice to see a developer bothering to make a good quality game for junior gamers, but the books are better.

CSI: Deadly Intent

30/10/2009

Solve cases (with deadly intent, of course) in this mystery game from Ubisoft and Other Ocean based on the CBS Drama.

Combat of Giants: Dragons

Disney's A Christmas Carol

This movie tie-in features 14 minigames including coin tossing, performing on the piano, a snaps card game, snow ball fights as well as a “pass the DS” mode which allows up to four players to compete in minigames on one DS unit.

Aliens in the Attic

Based on the same-titled movie, Aliens in the Attic for DS puts players in the shoes of the movie’s main characters who are overrun by aliens on their family vacation and must figure out a way to rid their vacation mansion of the invaders without letting their parents find out.

Sherlock Holmes: The Mystery of the Mummy

22/05/2009

Appalling voice acting makes this feel very shoddy, though with the sound turned down it’s a passable "entry level" point 'n' clicker if you can find it cheap.

Women's Murder Club: Games of Passion

6/11/2009

In this condescendingly easy adventure game, the story isn’t strong enough to keep mystery fans interested, and the gameplay isn’t really good enough to warrant anyone else playing it.

C.O.P. The Recruit

30/10/2009

If we were to judge this based entirely on the opening city fly-by, we might say it was one of the most impressive DS games we’ve ever seen. Unfortunately we’re obliged to dig a little deeper, and we swiftly discover that beyond the slick attract mode lies a stunningly inept GTA clone.

Monster Mayhem: Build and Battle

Build your own monster trucks and battle AI and friends in the combat heavy adventure.
