I don't know.  To be honest I haven't been keeping up with the DS game much as I don't have a DS.  But it does look interesting all the same.  And I haven't kept up on DS game prices, but $19.99 seems like a very reasonable price for a DS game. 

"Switch characters to play as a highly trained international female spy you meet along the way."

That line in the description of the game would really get me excited if we were thrown an easter egg of her name being "Charity".  I'd almost be convinced to go out and get a DS just for that special nod to the casefiles.

19.99 is a really good price. Almost all of my DS games have costed 30.00.

Actually, it depends on the size and popularity of the distribution company.
Big companies like Nintendo and Sega's games cost up to $34.99.
Smaller companies like "Her Interactive" would sell lower, more like $16.99.
But since this game is oriented with Sega, it's $19.99

Have you played it yet? 

I haven't played it, even though I've got the cartridge.  But if it's plot is similar to Mystery Train, then that would be twice that Her Interactive has used that book as the basis for a game featuring the Hardy Boys.  The first was Nancy Drew: Last Train to Blue Moon Canyon in 2005.

I haven't played it yet. I just think that the producers of these games should start producing some originality in titles and game ideas. I mean, I would think that it is sort of bad for business to have a game based upon a book that everyone read years ago.

Well, considering that the book has been out of print since the late 90's the producers might believe that that is the best Hardy Boys story to go after.

Of course, aside from Mystery Train, in the Hardy Boys Casefiles and Nancy Drew Files universe there was also the Hardy Boys Casefiles #57 Terror On Track, which has also been out of print since around 1997.
