i was impressed with the amount of accesorries you get with this pack which includes:-
Protective Case 9/10
3 x Stylus
Earphones 7/10
AC Adapter / Charger
Remote Battery Back Up 9/10
Car Charger
1 x GBA Game Case - cheap and tacky
4 x DS Game Case - again cheap and tacky
screen Protector - 0/10 dont ever use this on ur ds people plz, but the static screen protectors they are a lot better.
Cleaning Cloth - okish.. psp one is better though.
do all those accessories sound good? Well it is but what let me down is the poor quality of some of the items, my biggest query is the poor 'poor screen protectors which to me was essential when i bought this pack,i was left feeling very dissapointed. ... Read More:

Hasbro Compilation: Monopoly/Boggle/Yahtzee/Battleships (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Atari

June 16, 2006
Was relatively disappointed in this as the gameplay could be a lot better.

Monopoly - I found Monopoly quite confusing in terms of buying and selling properties - the instructions aren't clear and I ended up swapping properties I didn't want to swap in error.

Boggle - this was why I bought this game - loved Boggle as a kid. It's quite good but it has a really annoying menu where it's difficult to select the game you want to play!

Yahtzee - this is great - faithful to the original game with a choice of backgrounds

Battleships - probably the best configured game of the 4 - just a pity it's the most boring game!

Overall it's not bad - if you like the 'real-life' versions then you'll like this. ... Read More:

Pro Evolution Soccer 2008 (Nintendo DS)

from: Konami

February 01, 2008
I am not a mad football fan, but sometimes like a bit of a knock around. I thought hard about Fifa or PES - and after much thinking I went for PES. I heard the PES game was more playable - OK Fifa has all the teams and proper licensing, but in the end you want a game that you can play easily.

Well this didn't let me down. PES has always been known for playability, and this is also the same. Lets face it, DS's arent designed for football type games all that well so manufacturers need to think things through. PES does this well, the controls are reasonably easy to master, and the moves straightforward.

All I can knock is that it is too hard, I like to win early on and I am yet to do that. Im not that good though but would still like ... Read More:

Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Activision

September 10, 2006
I was looking forward to this game as I love star wars, I it is great fun and a lot of the levels are great and well designed. However the return of the jedi levels are dire, the endor one being almost unplayable, I lost count the amount of time han fell off a log on a jump he just couldnt do, with the second characher behind unable to keep up. Also characters disappear or te camera angle changes so wildly you just cant see whats happening. That said, if you love star wars you will get a kick out of this, the bad levels aside, there are a lot of other great levels with many things to unlock.If you are not a stars wars fan or have little patience, stay away!

Bunnyz (Nintendo DS)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Ubisoft


My 7 year old bought this game with some birthday money but it wasn't long before she began crying saying she'd wasted her money. This can't really be called a game as all you do is feed and play with your bunny and even that is very limited. Once in a blue moon a game might pop up but these are very rare. It might have been better had you been allowed to have more than one bunny at a time but you can't. This game is not recommended.

Roller Coaster Tycoon

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Nintendo DS
from: Hasbro


After buying the sequel to this game, Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, I figured nothing could beat it. I was wrong. Infact, the orignal game - this very one, is better than its sequel, simply because the main element which all of the greatest ever gaes have incorparated - simplicity!
Without the expansion packs, Rollercoaster Tycoon will appear to be quite a basic game from the level selection screen. But this is only the begining. A nice easy first level with get you into the rhythm of the game which can take a little while - remembering what all the tabs at the top of the screen do. But soon, it becomes second nature.
Things that require you to really take care of your park are things like hiring "Handymen" to clean up litter, sick (from people) etc. An enetertainer ... Read More:

What they don't point out is the fact only two of the pens are for the DS and the other are for the DS Lite - surely most customers have one or the other system?!!!!!

Maths Play (Nintendo DS)

My six year old daughter loves this game and will play it for hours. She is clealy enjoying the maths with it being not too easy but not so impossible. I had a go myself (being 40 and have done quite a lot of Maths) but must admit not challenging if you are an adult with a reasonable level of Maths!
