4 of 5: Niche

The intense (and unforgiving) difficulty and control scheme form an imposing barrier to really enjoying Dementium, but in spite of that roadblock, Dementium is a solid gaming experience and an interesting change of pace from the usual DS fare. The difficulty made me abandon the quest as soon as I had to restart a lengthy chapter, my curiosity about the storyline being totally overcome by my intense frustration. Bear in mind that this game isn't fit for general audiences; if you're a fan of the survival-horror genre, then maybe you won't mind the seemingly arduous challenge as much as I did. There's a good game here for those willing to put up with its quirks.
