I got Contact for Nintendo DS in the mail yesterday, and it's a pretty fun game if you enjoy MMO's. The game itself isn't an MMO, but the combat feels very MMO-like. You target a monster and go into "combat mode", and your character auto attacks while you occasionally perform special attacks.
The stat development system is pretty simple and feels really good-- there are all of the standard RPG stats: strength, agility, dexterity, stamina, etc.. There are also individual weapon skills, i.e. knife, club, fist weapons. When you swing a weapon, the respective weapon skill goes up, and also stats like strength and dexterity. As you get attacked, defense skills and agility may go up. Pretty standard for MMO's and PC RPG's, but not really as common for console RPG's. It gives the game a computer RPG feel that I really enjoy. The game got mediocre ratings because the combat isn't as active as most people would like, but honestly, if you play MMO's you'll probably enjoy it.
I should be getting Dragon Quest: Rocket Slime in the mail tomorrow, I'm looking forward to trying that out.
