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!

Animal Crossing: Wild World (Nintendo DS) 
In a nutshell:
Start a new life on your DS with the most unlikely source of online addiction you’ve ever experienced. You’ve complete freedom to customise your home and the town around it as you socialise with the locals and your friends alike.
The lowdown:
The world of Animal Crossing seems a peculiarly simple one at first: there are no levels to be beaten or bad guys to overcome, just a cheerful little village to maintain, as you water flowers, catch fish and dig for fossils. But before you know it the game has its hooks in you, as you meet friends via the Wi-Fi Network Connection to chat and compete or start playing the turnip stock market. With over 600 different pieces of furniture to collect the game has a near infinite lifetime and by running in real-time with special events all through the year you’ll find yourself checking in daily with what’s going on around town.
Most exciting moment:
Winning a fishing competition against three friends and rubbing their noses in it via the online chat.
Since you ask:
The first Animal Crossing game was actually released on the N64 in Japan – the GameCube version was a slightly enhanced version of this.
The bottom line:
Live the life idyllic on your DS with the best use of the Wi-Fi Network Connection yet.

Customer Review: Addicted - I need help!
I love this! I enjoyed the Sims a few years back on my PC, but found it too time consuming to worry about them using the loo and making food etc etc! Animal Crossing is Perfect for those who enjoy a real-time sim without any of the fuss of everyday life. I can’t add anything new to the reviews, but this game is wonderful, so enjoyable and relaxing and, darn…don’t I have an essay deadline that I’ve just lost several hours of writing due to me playing this game?! I can’t get enough, and just have to get back online to check out my furry friends and how they’re doing! It’s sad, but I love it!
Customer Review: Animal Crossing : Wild World - The Best DS Game I Own!
Animal Crossing is so amazing! Unlike other games, AC is not very structured, so you can do whatever you want. There are loads of things you can do! Animal Crossing time reflects ours, with morning, day, evening and night, but also the 4 seasons. In winter it snows, in autumn leaves fall, etc. Different events happen too! First, you choose your town’s name, and your name. The taxi driver will ask you a few questions, and then you are all set to go! You go first to Tom Nook, where he will ask you to do a few tasks and errands, taking items to the different animals that live in your town. You also have a map, so you can’t get lost! When you complete your jobs, Tom Nook tells you about your mortgage, that you have to pay off. He also explains that you can buy things at his shop. You buy things with ‘bells.’ The animal crossing equivalent of money. You can buy equipment… Shovel - Plant trees and flowers to make your town beautiful! You can also dig up fossils, and bury items in the ground. Fishing Rod - Go to either the sea, or the river to catch the fish. Different fish appear at different times of the year. Watering Can - Water the flowers you’ve planted, and keep them alive through all weathers! Slingshot - Presents on balloons fly through the air; shoot them down and then collect your prize! Net - Use your net to catch butterflies and bugs. Axe - Use the axe to clear the land. Timer - Use this timer to hold fishing or bug catching competitions with friends! You can also buy furniture, wall paper and carpets to decorate your home! Paper is must have to write to your animal friends, they’ll even write back to you! As you buy more things, Tom Nook will expand his shop! Eventually, he will add on a barbers shop where you can change your hairstyle. There are lots of other places you can go… Able Sisters - Mabel & Sable run a clothes shop, where you can buy ready made clothes, or even design your own! Your patterns can go on hats, clothes, carpets, wallpapers and even umbrellas! Town Gate - Go to the town gate and talk to Copper if you want to visit a friend’s town. If you use Wi-fi, you can visit a town anywhere in the world! If you speak to booker, you can change the town flag, and claim any items in the lost and found. Museum - Donate fossils, bugs, flowers and paintings to the museum, and they will be displayed for all to see! Upstairs there is an observatory where you can create your own constellations! On a Saturday from 8pm onwards, if you go the cafe, KK Slider will play for you! Town Hall - Mail a letter, pay your mortgage, access your bank account, and change the town the town tune… There is so much you can do! Other animal’s Homes - Drop in on your neighbours! They might even want to visit you! Make friends with your fellow residents, and they ay give you gifts, of clothing, furniture or wallpaper! You can also run errands. Everyday something new happens, so you never can get bored! Outside of the DS game, there are many AC Communities, where you can chat to other AC players. There are also ways to get special items, or get more money. This is the best ever game and I would recommend everyone to buy it!
