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.
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!
