I think so. It is a lot of fun. You can follow the missions the game has lined up for you or you can just take off and do what you want. To me it's a nice change of pace.

My son seems to love it so if he's happy then I'm happy. It was a game he really wanted as well.

my son got his 1st ds at 6 and still loves it. I think a ds lite is fine i dont think you need a dsi. It did break at the hinge (his fault) so we bought him a second hand refurb one for 70.00 aud.i can tell you he takes very good care of the hinge now after being without it for a while. Rather than buying mario etc games that can be expensive buy some non trademark games or pre owned games. my son is a tech head and loves his play station 2 and wii but i think he would say he loves his ds best. having said all that i agree also with the itouch or ipad as most of the apps are free and there are loads of educational apps available on the net. my son got his 1st ds at 6 and still loves it.

It depends on the child. The game is fun, the rules are fairly dimple but a pittle deep and may require a little bit of reading between the lines.Ive played it with a 9 year old and he had fun, but he didnt quite grasp the concept.Your boy will probably grow to love it.

I don't remember-which means that my kids (17,14,8) have not really played it all that much. I think it can't compete with the PS3, DS', Wii, etc.

It's worth getting it if u haven't watched all the game plays of it, because if u do then u know where the scariest parts are going to be at. I watched the game plays before getting it and made it to easy, but it was still fun tho. Maybe u should get it play it then record someone who has not heard or played it try it out that would be fun to see.

What the previous sellers said.. it's 2 years old and used ..you can purchase your own code for yourself ..or you'd most likely have to buy the game new.

It dependes on his interests. If he likes to play checkers this game is full of fun. It is easier than chess.You can learn geometry, optics and laws of phisycs without knowing it.The game is well constructed. Cheers

You might check your local game stop and look at a refurbished unit. The last time I was in there they had some units in there for 79.99. I bought a ds lite for my son when he was 6 and he is still using at 8 we just got a nerf case to increase the durablity for it. My niece got hers at 7 and is still using it and she will be 12 christmas eve. It is definatley a investment but she will not grow out of this toy for some time to come. There are very few toys that I buy for the kids that I can say they're still use on a weekly basis 5 years later, but this is one of them.

Let them know that this one is defective and that they need to refund you the price for it. They are very easy going and would refund you your money, but I do recommend getting it again. Only that's if you're like me and like the simple stuff. I find that if there's some things you can't get on this, for example MANY games. So if you've got some kids...they may be disappointed.

I am not sure I haven't opened the package yet but I bought it for my 2 yr old son.

Your son won't be able to play a lot of the current games on this system.. if you want a gaming netbook you might look at one with dual cpus. this one is more oriented towards web and media consumption

Yes, it would be great. There is a 30-day free, trial version that he can download. At the end of that time, he should know whether or not he likes it. That's what I did, and after the trial period I was hooked.

Absolutely. This isn't a continuation of the first game. This is a version of the first game with expanded game play. Set-up and reading the instructions is simple and you should be able to play and understand the game pretty quickly.

Yes the game is kid friendly but it might take him a little time to learn the controls hope this helps
