Fun!
Yup its a touch generation type game that some people don't like, but they can't deny its amazing Nintendo polish. The interface and menus are very VERY well thought out and the games are wide ranging and fun. If you don't like most of these games - don't get it, simple... it isn't meant for you. I do have problems playing chess though as I find it hard to visualise and plan ahead, I'm the type of person that needs the board infront of me, but that may be just how my brain works! Its a perfect pick up and play casual game and the online and multiplayer play is very good too.

A Must Have!
I just got this game today and am hooked already. As an older Nintendo fan (40 something), I don't play all the shoot 'em up or beat the clock type games. I like games that I can play at my leisure and think about. This is definitely the one to have. Got it hooked up to my wireless internet easily and was playing backgammon with someone in no time. It's not one of those games where once you play to the end, you're done. Lots of variety and I'm sure it will keep me entertained for hours, days, even months to come.

Great game to pick up when you need to kill some time
Im one of those people who own a DS so i can just pick it up and kill some time. This game is my fav by far, and trust me i own many ! It has loads of games to play from darts to card games which are all very addictive and easy to play. The real bonus about this game is playing with others using the WiFI. The chat option when playing against people via the wifi is very limited but its very safe for children, you dont need friends codes either. All the games can be played using ds to ds game play and you dont need two games to play against others either. If i was only allowed one game for my DS this would be it !

Classics - It does what it says on the tin!!
It is brilliant. I'm not one for platform or role play games, so this is the game just for me. I have played games I didn't think I would understand at all, others baffle me totally (but I will persevere), but I've had great fun playing darts, rummy, dominoes and so many others. If you want something that will appeal to all ages and skill levels, then get this one. Worth every penny, it provides hours of fun. My dad even has a copy!! My only issue is the absolutely tiny Mahjong Soliatire board, so get the magnifier out!!
