This is an excerpt from the Review of the Nintendo DS game Dementium: The Ward by Hooked Gamers
.. So, as a horror game, Dementium is a flop. From a gameplay standpoint, it’s a fairly average first-person shooter that does nothing to distinguish itself. If you’ve played Metroid Prime Hunters, the experience isn’t all that different; except for the flashlight ripped straight from Doom 3. Just like in Doom, you get a flashlight with inexplicably infinite power which you’ll use to light up the dark hallways. This would be a decent gameplay addition, but it suffers from the same handicap as it did in Doom 3; you can’t wield a flashlight and a gun at the same time. This means you may spot an enemy in the hall in front of you, but when you take out your gun you can’t see it and - even though you’re aiming right at it - you can’t shoot it. Almost all the game’s gunplay takes place in confined spaces which doesn’t really make much sense. ..
