Score 8.0/10+ Th nintendo DS is perfect for any child to play. The games on this are very easy and simple to understand. I'd recommend this to any child aged 5+.
- The games on this are very simple, so for older people it is'nt a great thing to play, as it will get boring for them. Also the touch screen is a litle non-reseptive.

Manufacturer's Description
Pocket powerhouse
The first thing you’ll notice about the Nintendo DS Lite is how small it is. And then you’ll notice how many amazing things it can do.
Touch Screen Technology
Control the action or access menus using either your finger or the supplied DS stylus to touch or tap the screen.
Dual Screens
Two ultra bright LCD screens give you twice the action, twice the color and twice the fun of other handheld consoles.
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection lets you test your skills against players everywhere – from the other side of the room to the other side of the world.
Microphone
With a built-in microphone, the Nintendo DS Lite gives you even more ways to interact with your favorite games and friends via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
PictoChat
Use your stylus with PictoChat to create drawings and text messages to send to all your DS friends.
NOTE: Nintendo DS Lite wireless communication, including PictoChat, is not private and is not monitored by Nintendo. We recommend that you never reveal any personal information or arrange to meet a stranger.
PictoChat is local wireless only. You need to be within 30 feet of another system to communicate.
Backwards Compatibility
Nintendo DS Lite doesn’t just play DS games – it also features an additional port for Game Boy Advance Game Paks.
Wireless LAN
Create a local wireless network of up to 16 players between 30 to 100 feet away. Plus – for some titles, this feature requires just ONE Nintendo DS Game Card.
Headphone Jack
Use the stereo headphone jack for the ultimate DS sound experience. Suddenly the action isn’t just in your hand – it’s in your head!
Rich Stereo Sound
Nintendo DS has rich, stereo speakers that pump out virtual surround sound that takes you right to the heart of the game.
