I have fond memories of the multiplayer, but never finished the singleplayer until now. I enjoyed the main story content, however backtracking is halted by constant respawning sub bosses and locked doors 90 % of the time, which breaks the entire flow of the game. Controls are pretty demanding, but not too bad when you get used to it. I recommend using left/ right handed mode and not the stylus. Some bosses still gave me some handcramp because of the need of constant precision aiming and movement..For ds standards this game has some insane value in presentation.
