 How to get things right second time around... February 8, 2007
28 out of 33 found this review helpful
The original DS was something that should've stayed on the drawing board... Driven by pressures to compete with the PSP, Nintendo rushed the bloated plastic behemoth that was the first DS onto shelves and lamented luke warm sales. Fast forward through some major design revisions, a trip to Apple's design department, some investment in technology and bang, out comes the DS Lite, and we can all try and pretend the original DS didn't leave the prototype stage.
Sold out all over Japan, and still the most popular console over there by some way, the DS Lite is pocket fitting perfection. I own both a PSP and a DS Lite, and while both get use, I strongly believe that the DS is the true portable gaming device. The novelty of a touch screen interface is used brilliantly in some games, weakly in others, but the machine doesn't rely on HAVING to use the touchscreen to get you hooked. Mario Kart DS being a great example of this.
Anyway... Get one, get Metroid Prime Hunters, Get Cooking Mama, Get Trauma Centre, get Phoenix Wright, get New Super Mario Brothers etc. etc... I've had my PSP for a long time, and have only bought a handful of games... The DS Lite came into my life 3 months ago, and I've already splurged on over 20 games.
Cannot recommend it enough.
Watch out though, if you have a girlfriend/wife/fiancee how doesn't like games much... don't show her Nintendogs.. you will never get the machine back.
lots of fun for your money December 11, 2006

I have bought a DSlite for each of my brothers for christmas( so hope they don't read this!) and couldn't resist buying myself one as well. For the Gadget lover in your life this will take some beating.
The feel and finish is very much like the iPod and it is smaller than I expected, it just oozes quality. Unlike the Sony PSP the DS lite is truly pocket size.
I thought Nintendo games would be too babyish for me(37 yrs old!) but MariokartDS is fantastic. Its like Sega rally but with weapons and power-ups all in a cartoon style.It has new tracks but also all the old tracks from the SNES version for a bit of nostalgia. Its amazing fun to play! Also the brain training game is fun and makes me feel like I'm using whats left of my grey matter for a change.
You absolutely cannot beat this sort of thing for a fun christmas or birthday present, and Dont forget to get yourself one!

I have just received my DS Lite (black) from Amazon and it's amazing! I only purchased one after playing on my daughters Pink DS and finding that it's a totally different way to play games.
Snap in Tetris, Mario Kart, etc and I can play against anyone on the Nintendo Wifi network. Nintendo have partnered with lots of Service Providers for coverage and that shows commitment. Something that Sony have not! Oh yes I have a PSP too, well until the auction completes anyway. The wifi network is excellent and very busy.
The DS may not show Photo's or play MP3's but who cares! I never used those features on the PSP anyway, it was all about battery life. Need a web browser? Nintendo have partnered with Opera, you might need to pay for it but it's 1000% better than the PSP joke.
Nintendo have returning the games world with a bang! ...and the games are cheaper too.

I got the DS lite as a gift for xmas along with Brain Training. The intelligence and simplicity of the machine is fantastic.
There are addictive qualities to the machine, thankfully during my fairly poor month of January this console has been a great way to pass the evening by, at the same time I feel like I am achieving something. No more soap operas to dumb my brain in the evenings.
Also, since playing Brain Training and enjoying it, my eyes have been peeled open to the amazing offering of games.
Why I Prefer a DS To a PSP May 13, 2007

Just thought i'd share my initial thoughts on my DS:
The console is really good and light, much easier to carry and transport around than a PSP. Good range of games, I found at least 15 I would be interested in getting.
Also, the Touch screen works really well. It can be used instead, or in accompliment, to the usual A,B,X,Y buttons. It's certainly a lot better and easier to use than the analog style feature on the PSP, which my hands often slid off and was very uncomfortable to use, not just the surface of it, but the location of it on the PSP. The PSP also had poor battery life, and is far more fragile than a DS.
The range of games for the DS, as I already touched on, is a lot better. JUst by searching through Amazon, I found some games I like, such as Mario Basketball, Goldeneye: Rogue Agent, two Yoshi games, a range of Pokemon games, a range of Mario games, those Brain Trainign gams everyone has been going on about. Theres also the 'Must Buys' Like Pro Evo 6 and Need for Speed. Theres even a Burnout game out there, although from what I've heard it isn't a patch on the console versions.
I also found a Crash Bandicoot game, which always entertain me. There's also a couple of Tony Hawks games, and some good film based games such as Ice Age 2. Two games I decided against purchasing were 'Animal Crossing: Wld World'. Now the last time I heard so many rave reviews and so much hype over a game was GTA3, and that's saying something. The other one was 'Cooking Mama', which is a neat idea in which basically you take on the role of a chef!
As for the games i've bought:
Pokemon Diamond
This reminds me of why I love gaming. This is the best Pokemon game since Blue, when Pokemon was a worldwide phenomenon. The game is challenging, original, addictive and has a very long life, as yo can always train up your pokemon more! Honestly, believe the hype, this game is well worth buying. The best of the DS games that I have, and this comes highly recommended!
Spiderman 3
Now upon first playing this, I got very annoyed with the touch screen dominating the game, and being used for more than one function at the same time. However, I now love this game! Just swinging around as Spiderman is hours of fun, and like Pokemon, you don't just have to do 'Missions' as such (I suppose you could call it Gyms in Pokemon Diamond) you can just run around (or swing around) defeating baddies and feeling good about yourself. I wouldn't call this a must buy, but it's worth a look!
Diddy Kong Racing
Having never played the Nintendo 64 version, but having played Mario Kart, I would go out and call this the best racing game on the DS. It reminds me of Crash Team racing on PSone, although not up to that calibre quite yet. It's a good time filler, although doesn't have the depth of the two games i've already mentioned. However, because it's the best DS racing game (in my humble opinion) I would stick my neck out and say buy it!
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
For starters, this game doesn't have the greatest of graphics. It certainly looks like more GBA quality. I nhaven't played this game much, but it's very basic in my opinion. The gameplay is very one dimesnional and a bit limited at times. There isn't really much use for the touch screen either. I wouldn't recommend this at the moment, but that's subject to change when i've played it a bit more. Only for the most Hardcore of Pokemon of fans is my intial judgement.
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
A novel idea for a game, and despite only having only completed one cae at this stage, I would say this is a fantastic game. You take on the role of a defence lawyer, and try to defend someone in court. Now for starters this game isn't active, there's a lot of reading to do and it's perhaps only good for the more patient and intellectual gamer. The graphics are top notch, the touch screen works well, and I definitely plan on cracking another case this weekend. A worthwhile purchase.
DR Kawashima's Brain Training
I only got this game yesterday, took the brain age chck and my brain age is 55, apparently. The thing with this game is you hav to sit down for a while with it and get used to it. It also does what it says on the tin is how i'd put it, in the fact I played it while tired and instantly developed a headache. However the ability ofr the DS to recognise what you're writing is very clever, and is this is supposedly the best selling DS game, it must be good. I'd be able to give a better judgement in a little while (And when my Brain age is a lot better).
Tiger Woods: PGA Tour
I've also got Tiger Woods PGA Tour, first off it was a bargain, a mere tenner off of Amazon. I've only played this game for half an hour or so and all I can really say is the graphics ae great, but the controls are going to get a little while to get used to. I'm suprised they haven't followed up this game, as this is the 2005 version, but don't let that put you off, it looks a very well put together game at the moment.
Well, those are my thoughts, thanks for reading ;)
