 The DS is a wonderful handheld video game console, but it's only as good as the games you put on it January 4, 2009
We have two Nintendo DSes: one for each of the kids. I do recommend getting different colors because that makes it easy to differentiate them. br /br /My husband gave me a white one as a birthday present a few years ago. It had Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day!on it, which is a game I hate, so I quicky gave it back to him. (Seriously, Brain Age is a great way to send the birthday message "I think you're getting senile.") He then gave it to our son. br /br /We have since bought our daughter a pink game unit and many more games. There are some games I have found addictive, so all in all I would call this a good video game console for anyone of any age--provided you buy the right games to go with it.br /br /The best thing about the DS is the touch screen, which makes games like Cooking Mama particularly fun. In Cooking Mama you move the stylus like you would move a cooking utensil, for example, stirring with a spoon or cutting with a knife. The dual screen is also used very nicely in some games, like Professor Layton and the Curious Village. I also found Sims 2 quite addictive. One of my daughter's favorites is Guitar Hero: On Tour, and some of her friends love playing Mario Kart DS with each other on the way to school. They can compete against each other with the integrated wi-fi. br /br /The only things that might make the DS better would be a bigger screen and maybe the ability to raise the volume a bit more. It is pretty quiet, even at its highest setting. It might be nice to have the ability to download shows to it, but I don't really miss that. All in all, I think this is the best handheld video game console on the market.
 too much planned obsolescence January 3, 2009

Nintendo DS Lite Crimson / Blackbr /Bought one just a year ago and it was fun. Then right after the warranty ran out, it quit working. Just stopped. The only options: Pay $85 and they'll send me a refurb in pink or black. If I want to keep the crimson, for which I paid extra, they'll look at it for $75 and if they can't fix it, they'll discuss my options. Whatever they might be. br /I haven't had any other electronics that lasted so short a time. Including ones I used a lot more. This bites.
DS metallic rose January 1, 2009
All three of my kids have a DS. Nice sized screen and the games have great graphics and as long as you buy games within the appropriate age level, you are sure to have fun. Perfect size for travel and hardly ever have to be charged.
 not just for the Brainiacts or gamers!! December 31, 2008
as a second generation gamer, this is my second hand held gaming unit. my first was the 3rd generation Handheld Gameboy system. I just want to improve my brain, and boy it is fun, not tooo challenging at first but as the game goes on, you "earn more games", they are more challenging and it tracks your process. Actually it's great fun, a great time passer and it really does help you improve your brain age. You are able to think faster on your feet and as the games get tougher, your brain is more challenged, like you'd expect. It's truly great for all ages, and it's fun!! My grandson, who is 6, even plays it. the games aren't that expensive, and it is just simply fun for all. I got the guitar hero game for the fun of it and it is also a fun game. So if you don't feel like training your brain, and just relaxing, plug in the guitar hero and watch the fun as everyone is trying to play that game, and it's a hilarious way for all to have fun together. As I said before, you can get the extra games for the other's around, and let them play and learn. I believe that for my grandson's birthday, Nana may buy him his own system, and get the games that are approiate for his age. I know that gaming helps them to improve their eye hand coordination and other things necessary to develope quick thinkers and coordination. I've seem it with my own children. So go out and just try it. it isn't that expensive, and truly is FUN!!! I also picked this color, because it represents my favorite College Football Team, GOOOO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nintendo DS Lite Crimson / Black
game for the non-gamer December 31, 2008
I have never been one to get excited about video games. I have had many different gaming systems and I have never really gotten into playing much. Well!! my husband bought me a nintendo DS lite for christmas and I have absolutely loved it. I play it everyday, but what I like isn't just that it is small, light and handheld, but also the games are brain teasing and fun. I get bored with the shoot em up stuff, but I love to solve problems, puzzles, ect and this has all that for me and some of the other for my husband. You can also get all the old nintendo games redone for this little gem.
