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

    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.

    This game is phenomenal! From the catchy synthesized music to the detailed artwork, I was wowed from the beginning. Yes, it's based on some Disney show that I don't watch, but the theme doesn't lower the quality of the gameplay and story. From the very first level, one can tell this is not a simple shoot-em-up or puzzle game. This is a fully functional and in-depth stealth game with gadgets and accessories seamlessly integrated into the user interface. Now, these gadgets aren't realistic, they're actually mini-games, but it's still fun. The music is catchy during the action sequences and moody during the sneaking missions. Overall, Cory In The House for the Nintendo DS is a great, but short, game that is now among my all-time favorites.… Expand

    I had never even seen a shooting star before. 25 years of rotations, passes through comets' paths, and travel, and to my memory I had never witnessed burning debris scratch across the night sky. I stared entranced, soaking in Disney Interactive's new material, chiseling each gameplay moment into the best functioning parts of my brain which would be the only platform for the material for months. This is an emotional, psychological experience. Cory in the House plays like a clouded brain trying to recall an alien abduction. It's the sound of a development studio, and its leader, losing faith in themselves, destroying themselves, and subsequently rebuilding a perfect entity. In other words, Disney Interactive hated being Disney Interactive, but ended up with the most ideal, natural licensed game yet. The experience and emotions tied to playing Cory in the House are like witnessing the stillborn birth of a child while simultaneously having the opportunity to see her play in the afterlife on Imax. It's a game of sparking paradox. It's cacophonous yet tranquil, experimental yet familiar, foreign yet womb-like, spacious yet visceral, textured yet vaporous, awakening yet dreamlike, infinite yet two hours long. It will cleanse your brain of those little crustaceans of worries and inferior games clinging inside the fold of your gray matter. The harrowing sounds hit from unseen angles and emanate with inhuman genesis. When the headphones peel off, and it occurs that six men created this, it's clear that Disney Interactive must be the greatest developer alive, if not the best since you know who. Breathing people made this game! And you can't wait to dive back in and try to prove that wrong over and over.… Expand

    Good for a DS title based on a Disney Channel show. The humor is geared to those who watch the show. While the story is a bit odd and the gameplay a bit slow, it wasn't that bad.… Expand
