Cars (Nintendo DS)

In a nutshell:
Few kids films can be as well suited to video game immortalisation as Cars and just for once a movie license-in hasn’t just been used for a cheap cash-in. Think Ridge Racer, Jr. and there’s plenty to enjoy here for both adults and children.

The lowdown:
When you’ve got a movie populated solely by talking cars it at least means there’s no need to turn the game into yet another third person platformer. Instead you take the role of stock car Lightning McQueen in what is actually a sequel to the movie’s plot, as he works his way up the racing leagues. Whether there’s someone driving Lightning or not he still handles like any other arcade racer, complete with a handy powerslide. The artificial intelligence of the other cars can seem a bit too willing to let you win in the early stages but there are separate kids and adults modes to ensure all ages get a decent challenge.

Most exciting moment:
Although it’s not quite Grand Theft Auto the game features a surprisingly large game world for you to explore, with wide open canyons and towns filled with tons of side quests and mini-games to ignore or enjoy as you please.

Since you ask:
Almost the entire voicecast of the movie reprise their roles, recording original dialogue just for the game. This includes Owen Wilson and, in his first ever role in a video game, the legendary Paul Newman.

The bottom line:
One of the best movie tie-ins for a while and a decent little racer.

Customer Review: Cars
This game was brill at first but it starts to get boring, great for a 4-9 year old game. It can get fustrating, ecspaiclly when it dosent tell you what to do propally. It is lots of mini games, when you win one, you unlock another. As I said great for kids under 9!
Customer Review: How Boring
My friend brought this game when we went to get our DS’s together. the game looked good and we were both excited to play it. a few weeks ago we swapped games for a while, and i have to say this game is rubbish! 1)its a load of mini games which are very repetative as you have to complete a number of levels to open another game. 2)there is very little racing cars, which is what i wanted to play. 3)for a game for youngens most of the games were quite tricky and i have to have my friend complete them for me. in all a very, repetative, boring, frustrating game!

USB Charging Cable For Nintendo DS Lite Customer Review: Does what is says on the box…
It appears to work absolutely fine. I can’t really understand why Nintendo don’t include this with the console; it seems such an obvious thing to supply as standard. It’s certainly useful if you have access to a PC & don’t want to cart around the NDSlite psu.

The USB cable seems to work OK in conjunction with the 3rd party FPUK NDS Lite Docking Cradle Power Stand, but I tried this only once. Please see my review of the docking cradle before you rush to buy it.

Customer Review: Great but for the delivery
This cable works fine out of the box, making it clear also that Nintendo did not approve. This reduces the dependency on the big chargers for the mains and also could mean you didn’t have to buy a separate car charger if used with a Car socket to USB converter and also with the minty boost (search for it).

Cooking Mama (Nintendo DS)
Cooking Mama challenges players to use the stylus as a master kitchen tool to cook 76 real world dishes ranging from pepperoni pizza to cabbage meat rolls. Players use the stylus to chop, slice, pan fry, knead, grate, mash, peel and more. Under Mama’s watchful eye, players must first prepare ingredients, then combine, cook and present the final meal all via the touch screen. Players can even cool down dishes by blowing into the DS microphone.

Customer Review: cooking mama
This is a fantastic game for all ages, even adults!

I have burnt my pork stir fry every time, but my 6yr old gets 80-100 points each time, I also can’t hit the right place to crack an egg, but yes my daughter can!

On to cooking mama 2, hopefully it is as good!

Customer Review: Excellent game
Reviewed by my daughter age 8

Cooking mama is an great game I got this game for my birthday and I have been playing it for hours there is so many recipes you can make it is loads of great fun for all ages but I have to admit it dose get boring after you have been playing it for ages and it can be a bit annoying when it freezes so beware of that. So I think this is an excellent game so

I would recommend it to everyone.

Customer Review: Fun and Entertaining
I just love these type of games and this one does not disappoint. My son just bought a DS Lite and now has the added benefit of me buying games for it. They are so addictive. However, I know my mental maths skills are coming on. This game has various ‘brain’ games from simple maths to making words up from a selection of letters circulating. Harder games open up once you reach a certain level and your progress is always recorded and monitored. The game can save up to 4 profiles which means the whole family can join in. The first page where you select your profile shows everyone’s brain age. The games show both your overall best 3 scores and the top 3 scores from everyone playing the game. Both me and my son are getting quite competitive trying to be no 1. You know it is giving your brain a work out because you actually feel tired after it. You can test yourself which then gives you your brain age the ultimate age being 20. The game also comes with sudoku which is really easy to play. A lot better than paper, pencil and the essential rubber. Definitely a must buy if you like this type of game.
Customer Review: Great Game
Excellent game. really fun to play. Does get a bit boring after a while though

Customer Review: Good fun, nicely done
A neat and well rendered game version of the fantastic film. Play as Remy and really enter the world of the rat, hiding from humans, avoiding traps, poison, electric wires, scrambling up walls, leaping from shelves and ledges. You complete missions and can also do mini cooking games. The graphics are excellent and the sound is good. Altogether a game that’s fun to play and if you like the film this is for you! Check out the Ratatouille DS bag as well.
Customer Review: Great graphics but not for the experienced gamer
I got this game as a christmas present and wasn’t sure if I would like it although I have seen the film. But once I started playing it I couldn’t stop! You play as Remy and there are two modes. Story mode follows the plot of the film more or less and consists of lots of ‘missions’ where you have to either find food or find your way from one place to the next. The missions are relatively simple as there is no way to get lost when finding your way around but there is an added feature to make it more difficult… When you are looking for food in the kitchens you have a visibility meter which fills up if you can be seen so you have to hide every so often to make it go down or you lose a life. You control Remy either with the D-pad or using the stylus but I find it much easier and faster to use the D-pad. There is also cooking mode where you have to prepare, cook and finish off food in the kitchen using the stylus which is also incorporated into story mode and is a great extra minigame! The graphics are very realistic. I would recommend the game to anyone who isn’t that experienced with gaming and any children who are fans of the film as for more experienced people it would probably be too easy as I completed 87% in only a few days. (I am currently stuck at 87% after finding the first 10 ingredients I can’t find the rest so if anybody can help it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks xD)

Nintendo DS Lite Browser
In a nutshell:
The DS finally gets its very own Web browser, as Nintendo firmly embraces the Internet age and finds some clever new uses for the touch screen and stylus.

The lowdown:
The DS Browser comes on both its own DS cartridge and a memory pack that fits into the GBA slot of your DS (there are two version of the Browser, with memory packs to fit either the original DS or the DS Lite). The obvious benefit of surfing the Web on a DS is the large screen area afforded by two screens and the stylus - which also makes typing in Web addresses a lot easier. The problems though are a low screen resolution and the fact that the browser doesn’t support Flash files, movie files, sound files, PDFs or anything else that needs a plug-in to work. As long as you recognise the limitations though, this is still a cheap and easy way to access the Internet when on the move.

Most exciting moment:
The big problem with accessing the Web outside of PC monitor is that it doesn’t all fit on screen at once. The DS overcomes this problem in perhaps the most elegant manner yet, with an option to put an overview of the whole page on the top screen while letting you scroll around on a zoomed in version on the touch screen.

Since you ask:
The DS Browser is based on a PC application called Opera, developed by Opera Software. The same company is also creating a version of the browser for use with the Wii console, which will be free for the first six months of the console’s life.

The bottom line:
Surf the Web on the move, but don’t expect an entirely smooth ride. -HARRISON DENT

Customer Review: Effectively Useless
The concept of the browser for DS and DS Lite is simple, an Opera based web browser optimised for the system allowing you to view web pages on your Nintendo handheld. While it accomplishes this the end result is effectively useless, the Nintendo DS just was not designed for web browsing and this is very obvious. Reading most text requires zooming in to a degree that excessive scrolling is required, loading speeds are generally slow and macromedia flash is not possible due to the memory limitations. While having a web browser on the DS has its uses, it is rarely as enjoyable as using a computer. This combined with the limited functionality of the browser create a heavily overpriced item. For the ?20-?30 people are spending, this needed to be something above expectations. It isn’t.
Customer Review: Useful Net Access for Travellers
Do you get out and about a lot but are afraid to lose contact with your far away internet buddies? Then this nifty piece of software is perfect for you! Available in both DS and DS Lite versions (the first will stick out of the Lite, naturally), the DS Browser is perfect for checking and sending e-mails or looking up the odd bit of data. It has an in built handwriting recognizer which makes writing more simpler than the point and click method. Password and minor customization features are also included. And yes, the DS Browser also works in America! I bought one for a friend over there and it checked out great with her. Just remember, with its limited supply of memory included in the GBA memory cart, visiting websites with a lot of imagery isn’t a good idea. You can’t view anything that requires a plugin, so Flash movies are a no-go. And you certainly can’t use any form of IM chat (but in browser chat clients like GTalk may well be an option). But for keeping in touch when you’re on the move, it’s very handy and a lot cheaper to maintain than mobile phone text messages. Just make sure you keep a list of the nearest Wi-Fi hotspots handy.

Customer Review: Great racing and racing Wi-Fi is brill
It doesn’t take long to complete all the missions but they were fun while they lasted. There is plenty of races including grand prixs and battles. WiFi is brilliant especially playing with up to eight people. It’s one of the best racing games i have ever played and the different characters to decide from and unlock (Luigi and Yoshi are the best!). I highly recommend it but don’t rush through it!!!
Customer Review: Best racing game ever!
I thought this game would be really bad but i absoloutly love it! the wifi just makes this game a must have with awesome missions aswell

Super Paper Mario
Super Paper Mario - Mario and Luigi are enjoying a lazy afternoon at their house when they hear the terrible news: Princess Peach has been kidnapped! The two Mario brothers head straight for Bowser’s castle to get her back, but Bowser is just as surprised about Peach’s kidnapping as theyare. At that moment, a strange top-hatted villain warps in and abducts everyone but Mario. The mysterious villain then forces Peach and Bowser to get married, creating a rift of dark energy that threatens to tear the universe apart. Only Mario can save the day … but he can’t do it alone. The newest chapter of the Paper Mario story isn’t just out of this world … it’s out of this dimension. What at first glance appears to be a super 2-D side-scroller ripped straight from the stylised pages of the Paper Mario universe soon turns into a hilarious dimension-shifting Super Mario platform adventure possible only on Wii. Super Paper Mario Features: Dimension-shifting gameplay: In super Paper Mario, players run through vibrant 2-D worlds, stomping on enemies and breaking blocks … then, with the press of a button, they flip into 3-D. In the third dimension, Super Paper Mario reveals hidden paths, battle foes and uncover secrets as they explore the previously invisible depth of the 2-D landscapes. Classic Mario Controls… with a twist!: Hold the Wii Remote sideways and control the game in classic Super Mario Bros. style. Super Paper Mario players can shake the Wii Remote to pull off stylish Mario moves like breaking out of frigid ice, and even point directly at the screen to get helpful hints from their super sidekick. Not only that, but in Super Paper Mario they’ll play as Peach and Bowser, both with their own sets of essential skills!

Carnival: Fun Fair Games (Wii) Customer Review: One for young children, maybe but adults only? er, No!
My wife and I are not gaming geeks, just people who enjoy a bit of occasional fun with the Wii. With that in mind we were both very disappointed with this product. A lack of head-to-head action and the childish nature of the games lead us to suggest that as an adults-only package you’d be better off keeping your money. I personally find the animated “Mii’s” very annoying and the pre-gaming handset initialisation confusing. That said, I’m told by a few people that if you have young children it can be fun, however, we haven’t, it isn’t, so all-in-all very disappointing.
Customer Review: Not bad but not great
I went out and bought this game on the basis of most of the positive reviews on this page and also because it was cheap.

In summary the game’s ok but it certainly doesn’t deserve 5 stars, although this may be more suited to children who will probably love it.

The graphics are pretty good for what you’d expect, however the games are too short as you only get 3 goes at most of them. I thought this would be on par with Wii Sports in terms of multiplayer enjoyment but sadly it isn’t. Once I’d played all the games once it gets a bit boring.

Overall, a good game probably for more junior players, and not bad for a couple of hours for adults - so it’s up to you if you want to pay ?15 for a game which is ok for a short period of time…

PC Magazine Features the Nintendo Wii Game Console

Wii Sensor Bar Extension Cable (instead of wireless)
For people with projectors or large rooms, the standard Wii sensor bar cable may not be long enough. This Wii Sensor Bar Extension Cable adds six feet to the original sensor bar to enable you to position it wherever you want - subtly hide the cable underneath carpeting and the retain the sharp responsiveness of the original sensor bar!
A very useful product for all the people who struggle to install the Wii sensor bar properly depending on their Video equipment integration. Solves the problem by giving you a wide margin to put it where you want with this extension cable for the Wii sensor.

To use, simply connect one end to the original Wii sensor bar cable and the other to the Wii console.

Customer Review: Better than mucking about with batteries.
I’ve got the wii running through a projector so it’s pretty far from the screen and the standard sensor bar cable isn’t really long enough. This cable lets me mount the sensor bar on the ceiling at the top of the screen, well out of the way of little mucky hands, and there’s no worry about putting new batteries in it (which is what you’d have to do with a wireless sensor bar).

So yeah, it’s cool.
