Final Fantasy Echoes of Time is a Adventuring game available on the DS Wii. It can be played in Turnbased Cooperative modes.

Final Fantasy Echoes of Time is a Adventuring game. Adventure games are enjoyed for two reasons: they provide enemy encounters that require tactics and strategy to conquor, and they create a fantasy world in which to explore and adventure.

Final Fantasy Echoes of Time can be played in a Turnbased mode. Turn Based games are played in turns, so that players can stop and consider their next move. This is common in tactical experience such as strategy or adventure games as this enhances the sense of control and planning the player has. Other genres - such as sporting, fighting and rhythm action games obviously rely on realtime game play.

Final Fantasy Echoes of Time can be played in a Cooperative mode. Cooperative Multiplayer games provide an experience that is played symaltaneously by multiple players. Unlike the simple arena competitive multiplayer style games where players try to kill the most enemies, true co-operative games are designed to take a group of players through a campaign experience together. This will involve sections where players have to work together to proceed - either from the sheer difficulty as in Halo 3 on 360 or by the design of levels such as LittleBigPlanet on PS3.

Family Gamer review Tue, 29 Sep 2009

Final Fantasy Echoes of Time is a relatively straight forward follow up in the Crystal Chronicles action role playing series. However, it has a couple of ingenious tricks. Firstly you can play it on either DS or Wii and have the same exact experience. Secondly you can play co-op across the different platforms.

Now, before I go any further I need to frame this for you. As I said above, you can play this game on either DS or Wii. However, this is different to the usual dumbed down DS minigame version of the Wii's main experience. The DS visuals, sound, voice work and everything in fact are identical to the Wii game. If you turn both systems on together the screens match each other exactly. The Wii game benefits from some higher fidelity versions of the textures, polygons, and audio, but other than that they are the same game.
