 woow much better than i expected & I had high expectations! December 26, 2007

This is a fabulous console. Both myself & my 8 year old dd got one for Xmas. It's lots more fun if you have 2 in a family- multiplayer modes on games, pictochat (a text based message thing similar to msn messenger) etc all add an extra dimension.
It is really easy to see the screen, light to hold & the games are lots of fun.
I'm very, very happy, possibly the most fun present I have ever received.
I don't like any other console games - my husband has a ps2, XBOX & XBOX 360 & I never play any of them (except the eye toy on the PS2). But I find the stylus on the ds really instinctive & easy to use.
BTW the game made husband is currently playing on my DS!
My dd who is 8 loves hers too. She loves the fact that it can be turned upside down to be easier if you are left handed. She also loves blowing into the microphone for games, the quality of the graphics & the chat function.
Well worth the money for such a fab piece of kit.

Unfortunately i am unable to give anyone advice on buying the Nintendo DS Lite except to say DO NOT BUY FROM AMAZON!!!! I can't provide feedback because AMAZON FAILED TO DELIVER THE ITEM THREE TIMES and just keep sending e-mails revising their estimated delivery dates, despite advertsising that they had it IN STOCK AND WOULD DELIVER BEFORE CHRISTMAS!! Yet another example of a large company taking your money then breaking their promises and leaving the customer in the lurch. Merry Christmas AMAZON....unfortunately my wife is not having a very merry Christmas as the Nintendo DS Lite which AMAZON promised to deliver on 21st December still has not arrived (today is Christmas Day) ! ! !

Brilliant for all ages. The perfect Christmas present for any age. The kids will love it. The DS defines fun. If your buying it for your young ones I challenge you to just try and not have a go yourself! The touch screen gives a more interactive gaming experience and will keep you entertained for hours on end. Cheap games and a low priced console make the perfect pressie, top marks!
Best game system in the world? Could be. November 15, 2007

The Nintendo DS doesn't need reviews. It's the biggest selling game system in the world right now and is number 1 in every global marketing territory. It was the first games console to successfully appeal to children, parents, grand parents AND gamers.
I've owned a lot of hand helds and home consoles and whilst I still feel a bizarre emotional attachment to the GBA SP I have to concede that this is probably the best console I have ever owned. The touch screen just works as a control system and it's the key to the machines cross-generational appeal. Even my own reluctant Games Widow enjoys Brain Training, the new Tetris and Wario Ware. She said she likes that she doesn't have to learn what the buttons do if she wants to play on the DS: it's instinctive.
For gamers there are some absolute classic titles available. The DS entries into the Zelda and Mario Kart franchises are among the best both series have ever offered. Sonic and Bleach are much better on the DS then their home console equivalents and Elite Beat Agents is possibly the best music game yet released.
Also the DS is the only handheld system currently on the market with a battery life that will see you through a transatlantic flight. My DS also holds a charge much better then my PSP. After a month without touching it my DS still had several hours of power but my PSP runs flat when left alone for a few days.
The DS is quite possibly the best system Nintendo have ever made. It certainly has an excellent library of games that will provide years worth of fun for kids and adults alike. I recommend it over any other game system currently available. And the white version seems to hide finger marks better then the other colours.
