Lux Pain on the DS is clearly a game that is confusing and baffling. This game originally from Japan is a graphic adventure game where as a player you have to wade through a host of inconspicuous dialogues, clumsily poking at static scenes.

Here you are a part of FORT, the task force appointed to locate the brain worms with the help of the stylus. During the course of your mission, you have to pose as a school kid and go back to the local high school. Lux Pain is thus a combination of a teenage drama and a science fiction.

As you play the Nintendo DS game, you are shuffled from place to place randomly without even knowing why. You also talk with various people and you are at a loss as to what they have to do with the game. There are certain times when a discussion can lead to removing a worm from an individual. Worm removal itself is a process carried out by scratching the picture of the individual to reveal the worm and using the stylus to remove it.

However, here too you find the text onscreen and the voice does not often match. A lot of typos in the script and no alignment with the voice acting, the whole set up come across as something substandard. If you want to enjoy a less painful, but still quirky Japanese game, then Boing! Docomodake DS, from the developer Ignition might be more to your liking. As far as Lux-Pain is concerned,  Ignition Entertainment would have done better fine tuning a lot of areas in it before release.

The game is actually the third instalment of the game on the DS, but it will be a little too much on your part to expect any fireworks from this game. In fact the gameplay of this latest instalment is conspicuously different from the earlier ones.

The story of the game starts in a typical fashion, and resembles to an extent the third and final season of the absurdly popular animated series. The theme of the story basically revolves upon Aang, the 12 year old protagonist, who takes on the incarnation of the Avatar in the Avatar: The Legend of Aang - Into the Inferno instalment. The Avatar is believed to be the Earth’s spirit in human form, and interestingly is bestowed with the capability o blend the four basic elements to his will so as to maintain equilibrium in the four Earth Nations. Aang, for his part has already mastered the powered of Wind, Water, and Earth with the assistance of his friends, and the only remaining hurdle in his endeavour to bring peace to the Earth is ‘Fire’. You have an important role in helping Aang and his friends to travel successfully to the hostile land of Fire that will bring an end to war that is ravaging the four Nations.

The peculiar thing is that you will remain oblivious of all these as there is little effort shown by the manufactures to explain you the game.
