This release is based on the PC-Engine demo of Hideo Kojima and Konami's acclaimed adventure title, but uses still images from the Sega CD version. Though there isn't much players can do to deviate from the game's very linear progression, the cyberpunk plot and voice acting keep Snatcher Pilot DS interesting. For those of you who demand interactivity beyond selecting text options, there's also a fun bug-blasting segment towards the end.
Unfortunately, this "pilot" comprises only the first act of the full Snatcher game, taking players through the J.U.N.K.E.R. headquarters and factory scene (Multiple: Option does not plan to port the complete game). Still, it's an entertaining, 10-minute experience worth playing through.

Snatcher is one of my all-time favourite games, and I would love to see it ported to DS.
This release is a step in the right direction - it's not perfect, there's a LOT of stuff missing, i.e. the menu structure, animations etc, and the images are very blocky compared to the original, but being able to play a version of Snatcher on my DS just about makes up for that.
Now come on Konami, this proves that it works. Get it done properly!
