 It doesn't last too long June 21, 2007

I wish I bought this used. Don't get me wrong, it's a good game, but it's way too easy to beat. And what the heck is up with that box upstairs that you can't open and that one girl that just won't talk to you in the condo?! I only got jammed up once in the whole game. In all, it took me only 3 days to finish and that's only playing after work.
Maybe it would be good for a really young age group.
It's OK, but not great June 14, 2007

I was thinking that this game would be a lot of fun based on reviews here and the description of the game. However, I was disappointed. I loved Trace Memory, though that game was VERY short.
Touch Detective though, not as fun. It seems very tedious and a lot of backtracking. There aren't really a lot of "clues" so much as only so many things you can do before you do the right one.
I purchased it used from a kid down the street. I was surprised when I bought it because he hadn't even made it through the first case. Surprised only until I started playing it.
I'd have to recommend skipping this one unless you are really into detective games. It seems way to frustrating (and boring) for kids to stick with.
The art style is unique and interesting though.
Atlus Tried ... June 13, 2007

For the number of really decent games Atlus has put out for the DS, there has to be some really mediocre ones that didn't quite live up to its expectations. Although Atlus is known for its innovative style, Touch Detective fell short on my expectations, leaving me with a feeling that Touch Detective was nothing more than an overly complicated, nitpicky on detail spin-off of a more popular detective/evidence game already available on the DS (yes, I'm speaking of Phoenix Wright).
Aside from the trial process in Phoenix Wright, the process of collecting evidence and searching for clues is much like Phoenix Wright, on a much more painstaking level. Some of the details in Touch Detective are absurd, and can leave you stuck for quite some time, as you try to figure out what tiny detail you need to uncover to move forward in the game.
Aside from the mediocre gameplay, the graphics are actually quite nice, a darker, more emo-ish presentation than normally seen on the happy, cartoony graphics of most games on the DS. Aside from the eye-pleasing graphics, there's not much else I can find to openly rave about.
Of course, if you haven't played either Trace Memory or Phoenix Wright, Touch Detective will be an entirely new experience to you. I can see Touch Detectve leaving a much younger audience confused and frustrated, probably leaving the game on a table somewhere, never to be played again. For an older audience, I can see it getting some playing time if picked up. But definitely not for its retail value at $29.99. It can be bought much cheaper now.
 Don't know what all of the rave was about April 19, 2007

I played the game. It wasn't great, in fact it was fairly simplistic and not challenging. I found the plot kind of dull and irritating. I am not sure why it is rated for adults either. A child of 8 or older could easily handle this game. Just not impressed.
 Fun Detective Game April 14, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In "Touch Detective", a girl named Mackenzie goes around her neighborhood solving various mysteries by talking to people and gathering clues. This game is entertaining although at times it can get a bit frustrating because one doesn't know what to do next. Overall, it's a five because the mysteries are fun to solve and a bit of a challenge is a good thing for video games because it keeps them interesting.
The characters have their own personalities and stories, which makes the game fun. Very good game!
