Does this game still have voice work and the musical score? Or is it removed? Seems like a tough fit for the DS cart.

It does, though they are somewhat scaled back. Obviously, the BGM has taken a hit from the Paradise's CD quality, but it remains solid nonetheless. Voice acting is intact for the most part; when talking to others, it's all voiced but things like internal dialoge and the like are just text new.

That's a simile! ;)

Actually, it's a metaphor.

It would be a metaphor if you said Last King of Africa IS a best of album. If it is LIKE a best of album then it is a similie. That's my Reviewing School lesson for today.

While technically you're correct, Janus, people use 'metaphor' as a blanket term to describe both approaches. This has become common practice to the point where it's not really worth arguing about.

There are a lot of videos (and audio too) in Last King of Africa. But what do you think about its special interactions?

Wow, another good review by EMP. I kept thinking I had other things to do while reading this, but it made me stay through to the end, and I'm seriously interested in checking this game out, now.

I haven't played the game, but I'm going to assume that EmP picked the puzzle he revealed wisely. He's a good enough reviewer that such an assumption seems safe.

I'll take these critisisms on some months later. Because I like to do things fashionably late, not because I could have sworn I already did so.
