Hamsterz (Nintendo DS)
Customer Review: THIS IS A BRILL GAME !!!
Hi, I would say this is a great game you get to
1 pick your Hamster
2 name it
3 play mini games
4 feed your hamster
5 let it out of its cage
6 connect with your friends
And lots more I would buy this game.
Customer Review: Excellent - for very very young children
This is a very simple game. My child is 4 and a half years old and really really enjoys looking after the hamsters. Initially I thought she would get bored very quickly as she has nintendogs (and can play this well) which I think has a lot more to offer in terms of what you can do with your dog. However, surprisingly, she loves this simple game. This is definitely not suitable for the older child or adult who would get bored after learning how to use it (which doesn’t take long). THIS GAME IS MOST DEFINITELY FOR THE VERY VERY YOUNG CHILD AS ONE OF THEIR FIRST NINTENDO GAMES.

Harvest Moon (Nintendo DS) While gentler games like Nintendogs and Animal Crossing: Wild World have become the best selling games on the DS, the Harvest Moon series has been ploughing very much the same field for nearly a decade now. As always the game starts with you inheriting a farm and most of the game revolves maintaining and growing your crops of vegetables and herds of animals. You have to work pretty hard at it too, planting crops, watering them and then harvesting them. Animals have to be watered and feed too, eggs collected from chickens, cows milked and sheep shorn.
Once you’ve tired yourself out with your daily chores though there’s a whole village to explore around you, as you collect wood to make new buildings or harvest fruit and other rare items to sell at the shop and expand your business. Your main goal in town though is to find yourself a sweetheart and woo her enough so that she’ll agree to marry you. As fun as all this is though it’s exactly how the Harvest Moon games have worked since the original SNES game and this version takes almost no advantage of the DS.
The touch screen is used merely as an inventory and as a means to pet your animals - other than that it’s almost entirely superfluous. Even worse, the graphics seem identical to a GBA game and not even a particularly good one at that, with some very poor animation. There are a few new features, such as a mini-casino run by the harvest sprites, but it’s not nearly enough to tempt you if you have one of the more recent GBA versions. If you haven’t though, it’s a reasonable, if unambitious, introduction to the series.

Customer Review: Potentially so good….
This game is potentially a really good game. The thought of having your own farm, growing crops, raising animals and selling them all for money is great. And with the money one of the many things you can do is hire sprites to help you on the farm, collect wood and stone for your buildings and all sorts of things.
But, for me, the game just doesn’t work. The first frustration is the amount of stamina you have, which means you can only do so many things each day - and if you accidentally dig a hole or water the wrong patch of ground, this stamina is wasted.
Also, the game is too mysterious. If you read the game guides you will see there is jewelery you have to collect or people you are supposed to meet at certain times and places, but there seems to be no way to work these things out for yourself - there’s lots going on that you simply do not understand.
Perhaps I did not give the game a chance, but I would suggest only buying this if you want to get seriously involved in it; it’s not one you can pick up and put down.
Customer Review: Great!
I love this game! You know why, because its very different. I have never really played a farm raising game. At first, when I got it, I was a little disapointed becuase it was so hard to get money! But then I found ways of earning money and bought some animals! Its alot more fun when you have animals, becuase you can care for them. I love how complex the game is, its all very realistic. The graphics could be better, but I guess the cute cartoony style is quite nice. I would reccomend this game to anyone who likes a bit of a challenge!
Block Entertainment ™ - Nintendo Ds Lite - Carry Case +Storage Compartment (Pink)
Nintendo DS Lite Handheld Console (White)
In a nutshell:
It may have taken the world by storm with its huge range of genuinely innovative new games but there’s no denying that the Nintendo DS is not exactly the most portable of portable consoles. That’s all changed now with this sleek and sexy update.
The lowdown:
When the Nintendo DS was first announced it was dismissed by many as a white elephant - with a gimmicky interface and underpowered graphics. Over 15 million sales later and the story is a little different. The DS Lite is fully compatible with all existing Nintendo DS (and Game Boy Advance) games but it’s smaller, sleeker and lighter - with a new design that perfectly matches the Nintendo Wii console. The most impressive feature is the new backlit screens which offer the sharpest image ever seen on a portable console. The DS Lite is available in three separate colours: White, Black and Pink.
Most exciting feature:
The DS Lite now has four brightness settings - the highest is brighter than even the PSP and is clearly visible in any lighting condition. That sound? That’ll be Sony executives running to the hills - wearing sunglasses.
Since you ask:
The Nintendo DS is the fast selling console ever in Japan. When the DS Lite was released, it sold out instantly, with queues of over 1,000 people a common sight.
The bottom line:
The DS gets a face lift to become Nintendo’s best looking portable ever. - Harrison Dent

Customer Review: Another let down customer
Like one of the other reviewers I saw on Dec 19th that this was in stock and available for next day delivery. I placed the order literally within seconds. Needless to say I now know the item was not really in stock - I got emails telling me it would be delivered before Dec 24th and then just before Xmas a message saying the supplier had let Amazon down and it would be arriving sometime in February. Lesson learnt Amazon - with no route to complain about an order placed when there was stock (I checked after placing the order and it was still showing as available) customers are forced to leave product feedback. I will continue to use Amazon for non-essential purchases. I trusted them to deliver and stopped my DS search believing I had bought an “in stock” item. Big mistake - made all the more annoying by Amazon’s refusal to accept messages FROM customers - it only sends them out or lets you read FAQs.
Customer Review: BEWARE NINTENDO DS USERS!
You cannot fault the Nintendo DS for its design and gaming experience, except for one flaw. It’s durability. I have had my Nintendo DS Lite for just over 12 months and hardly used it in that time, except to train my brain with Dr Kawashima. However, I am disappointed and annoyed that a crack has appeared in the hinge and a green dot on the touch screen, which is noticeable and distracting when playing games with dark images. It is literally just out of warranty and I will have to pay around half the price of a new DS to repair it. Ironically, the DS has not been man-handled but stored carefully in a carry case out of harm’s way. So as a word of caution, keep your proof of purchase so you can claim under the 12 month warranty should you need to. Otherwise, happy gaming!

Customer Review: Handy and gives good protection
The most value for money items in this pack are definetly the carry case and the clip case. The carry case is very good. Although it’s a bit chunky and not very stylish, it does the job very well. There are straps inside to secure the DS plus some netting which can hold the clip case which comes with the pack, the earphones and with a bit of a squeeze a GBA cartridge as well, thus it being kind of chuncky is well made up for by the fact that you won’t have to have these items lying around or getting lost in your bag somewhere. The strap that comes with the carry case can turn it into a not so stylish shoulder handbag, but they are prone to come lose. However the case is definetly sturdy enough to be squeezed in your overstuffed backpack. The clip is also incredibly handy, most packs I’ve seen only seem to have some lose game cases, which still means they’ll be lying around somewhere lose, which in my case would mean I would lose them. This one can hold 3 DS cartridges plus an extra stylus, all of which are protected by some kind of hard close fitting foam. Why they put in a very low quality mirror beats me, but it’s not a disadvantage. The earphones are good, they have an adjustable volume control in the lead, which really is a plus, they give a good quality sound and they look nice. Mine have lasted for a year now and are only broken because I have frequently accidentally let them fall on or swing against metal desk and chair legs, since I use them at work almost every day. The only part of this pack I can’t comment on is the car charger as I have never actually used it or had to use it, but I guess it is handy for long journeys abroad by car. Overall I think this pack is good value for money, especially for people who think being able to take 3 DS games with them and keeping the 3 games, the earphones and the DS all in the same carrier case is really handy.
Customer Review: Good and essential
Great value accessory pack for your Nintendo DS Lite Console. Keep your machine protected with the durable carry case. Store your game cards in the handy clip case. Charge your console via the cigarette lighter or 9V socket with the handy car charger. Enjoy your games in stereo sound with the sylish earphones.
