    The moodiness of the game's atmosphere, the intensity of the pacing, the original infection mechanic and the overall quality of the gameplay combine into what may be the best game of 2006 you haven't heard of.

    If you're tired of training your brain and want a little alien-infested action, go ahead and pick up Scurge: Hive, because you won't be disappointed by its frenetic blend of creep blasting and puzzle solving.

    Scurge: Hive can be a little frustrating at times, but the overall experience is enjoyable. If you’re in need of some more Metroid style action on your DS, then Scurge: Hive is a good choice to scratch that itch.

    Scurge: Hive had potential to be a great game. Metroid + isometric perspective sounds like a winning formula. Unfortunately, Metroid Fusion + isometric perspective + frustration doesn't fare quite as well.
  5. 1UP

    An entertaining adventure that boasts impressive production values, especially given its origins in a tiny development house. Its greatest failing is that it stands uneasily on the line between arcade-action and console-adventure.
  6. Deeko

    Orbital Media has done a very good job, but still has a bit of tweaking to do if they want to really push this series to the limit.

    The major control issues are a hurdle many gamers won’t want to overcome. They ruin what would be an otherwise fun game.

Keep inScurge: Hive really is one of the best DS games that you've certainly never heard of. Its a fantastic combination of action/rpg. Keep in mind that this game was originally made for the GBA and was ported over to the DS so it really doesnt use the touch screen for anything except to display the map. And i should also mention the music, its one of the best soundtracks that i've heard on the DS, no joking. My only real complaint (and the reason the game would have easily scored an 8 or 9) would be that the story is a STRAIGHT RIP OF METROID, so 0 points for story originality, but other than that, its a really stellar game. OH! and did i also mention that you can buy it BRAND NEW for $10 at gamestop? Yup, $10. If i had paid the full $30 it would have been money well spent, but for $10 this is practically a steal. A massively underrated but very good game.… Expand
