Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS)

Mario Kart DS (Nintendo DS)
Customer Review: Completely over-rated
This game is, as the title says, completely over-rated.
For starters, it cuts through the battery life very quickly, especially if you’ve got the sound on. Because of that, I played the game with sound off, most of the time so I didn’t have to constantly charge my DS. I suppose playing with the sound off wasn’t much of a loss, seeing as the sound in this game isn’t anything special.
The game gets VERY repetitive after a short period of time. Any half-decent gamer could complete this game in less than a day, easily. When you complete it, there’s nothing to keep you coming back to play it again.
The graphics are just plain average, and are nothing too eye-catching.
I didn’t enjoy the racing either, it was tedious and it got repetitive and too easy, really quickly. All you have to do is learn the AI’s racing line and the game becomes a lot easier, because you place items in their racing line, and they’re not smart enough to avoid them.
The only reason I gave it 2 stars, is because it can possibly keep you going for a few hours, if you’re bored enough.
There’s better things you can spend your money on, instead of this.
Customer Review: Magnificent Mario Kart!
After trying New Super Mario Brothers I was a little apprehensive about this. I couldn’t get into Mario Brothers at all and was hopelessly diappointed and extremely frustrated.
I am, however, usually good at racing games and thought I would give this a go. I was so pleased that I did as this game is fantastic, one of those games that you don’t want to put down, that you can’t get enough of. I won races!
This game is worth purchasing and with it I had fun for the first time with anything Mario related!

Charlotte’s Web (Nintendo DS) Sega aren’t normally a company you’d associate with movie licenses, although they have just nabbed the rights to make games based on the Aliens movies. This though is a very different type of film, a live action adaptation of the beloved children’s book featuring an unlikely friendship between a pig and a spider. Unfortunately the video game is unlikely to remain as timeless as the book, especially since it’s taken the slightly perverse route of turning the whole story into a series of platform jumping adventures. Even though pigs aren’t exactly known for their gymnastics you take the role of Wilbur as he collects eggs and, oddly, letters for Charlotte the spider. For better or worse, Wilbur does actually handle just as you’d expect a pig too, which means he barely makes even the simplest of jumps, scrabbling cutely to make it onto a ledge.
Wilbur’s defensive abilities are similarly low tech, with an ineffective kick and a repartee of songs to send enemies running. Obviously the game’s limited by the settings of the original book and film but you do get the feeling that this really isn’t a story that makes much sense translating into a video game. In the end the best bits are the various mini-games, including a number of special touch screen games on the DS. In between platform levels you can get to pamper Wilbur, as Fern his human owner, in something like a mini version of Nintendogs… but with pigs. There are also several separate mini-games such as parachuting with baby spiders and a fun puzzle game with Templeton the rat. Even so a ticket to see the movie again is probably better value.

I got this game of a friend and thought it would be really dull but it is actually very good! I like the mini games and the adventure is good too I can’t put it down. I am currently stuck on level seven though and would be grateful if anyone could give me advice how to get out of it. I am currently stuck up a tree!
Customer Review: Pretty Average
I bought this as I had got a ds for mother’s day and there wasn’t a lot of choice in the shop but I didn’t want to wait for internet delivery. Always a bit suspicious of games based on films tbh and this proved me right. It’s ok - there;’s not much more to be said about it. The mini games were also ok but after less than 2 weeks I have sold it on. I think for a child who loves the movies it may be worth getting but for anyone else I wouldn’t bother. A very average platform game.
