WOW!!! This game is amazing!!!!!
One the graphics is the story is wonderful and if you had never played any of the games you can easily understand what is going on and how the story goes. But you really should buy the guide it HELPS a whole lot a whole lot!!
Graphics 100%
Story 100%
Challenging 100%
It is worth every moment you play it and you totally get into the story as you play it that time just seams to fly on by and soon it is night time.

It arrived super late for some reason. But other than that, it works fine. I was in need of a 2GB micro SD and I can't find them in stores anymore. This was a good buy.

I bought a Nintendo DS for my son for Christmas. I waited in a line on the games release date to ensure getting one, and it's a good thing I did, this thing is sold out everywhere now and every store(online and b&m) I talked to said they wouldn't be getting more until Jan 2005. I was thinking of getting a second for myself, guess I'll have to go the Ebay route if I want to do that though.

I popped this open "just to make sure it worked" and now I can't put it down. The graphics are amazing, the sound truly shocked me it was so good. I noticed on most handhelds the sound usually has a 'tinny' quality to it, very pingy and annoying. But the DS sounds better than my tv! Deep, rich tones, very very good quality.

I love the dual screens and had no problems at all using the touch screen for Mario or Metroid. It did help to use the thumb strap that comes with the system. Keeps the touch screen from becoming smudged with finger prints too.

I was a bit surprised by the size, it's a little larger than the SP, but that turned out not to be a problem. I've read some reviews about hand cramping after extended play, but I haven't had that problem. I'm hoping it being a bit larger will keep my son from misplacing it as often as he does his SP.

I tried the picto chat and fell in love. Although I couldn't talk to anyone else yet(my nephew is getting one also so my son and him can use this feature), that didn't stop me from using the stylus to draw pictures and write silly things. And it doesn't just have letters so you can type, it also has pictures and symbols, and you can drag and drop into the touch screen as well as type.

I have no doubts at all that my son is going to absolutely love this for Christmas.........as long as he can pry it out of my hands.

If anyone is thinking of getting a DS, I say go for it, you won't be disappointed......and neither will the person you're buying it for.

I ordered this to play on my Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi. It works perfectly! So far so good, although it took an extra day to get delivered but I'm not complaining. This game is awesome!!!

Exactly what I needed and was easy to replace. This was for the DS that I bought when the very first came out.

Very happy with it. It arrived when it was supposed to and fit perfectly to my DS. The plastic wasn't quite as hard as I thought it would be but it looks great and I don't foresee having any problems with it

I finally received my product after waiting for a good almost 2 weeks for it, only to try and play it and it is not propping up anywhere on my system. My DS does not recognize it and I thought at first it was my DS that the issue had come from and so I restarted my system turned it on and still not recognizing. I then put a different game in my system thinking it was my system that was the problem but my system did recognize it. I'm highly upset. This is one of my favorite games and it has no data on it and unrecognizable. Definitely will be getting my money back and be ware when ordering.

I just received my DS carrying case, and I'm pleased overall - it snugly holds my DS, and has capacity in the roof of the case for 4 DS games, two SD cards (if you have a DSi, this is more important than if you have a DS Lite...) as well as two stylus. The exterior is made of good, heavy-duty plastic and the inside is of a good quality, thick, molded rubber which holds everything nicely in place. The case itself is nice and small, and as such storing it or taking it in a bag on a trip won't be an issue.

The problem, however, is that the locking mechanism on my case did not work at first: the case has a little snap lock that is supposed to keep the box closed, and then open it with the push of the button on the front. Though my lid would close, my lock would not close. I tried it both with and without the DS inside, and the situation was the same. In the end, I had to work and bend the plastic pieces of the lock into place so that they would fit together. This was initially frustrating, as I thought my case didn't work at all. Just be aware that you may run into this problem - it should be fixable, but it may take a couple of days to figure out.

It is just not acceptable to have to wait DS long as I did in order to get the merchandise. I would never do it again..

Overall, I am pleased with the service provided by the Book Grove.  I ordered the game for my grandson for Christmas; however, the game did not work in his DS.  The metal part of the game was damaged.  I contacted Amazon who put me in touch with the Book Grove.  They suggested that we try the game in another machine.  It was taken to a GameStop and we were told that the game was damaged.  The people at Book Grove asked that the game be returned within 7 days.  Without an address that was pretty much impossible.  I later received an e-mail from the Book Grove which stated that arrangements had been made to send out a replacement.  I received a used game rather than a new game which I had paid for.  I received the replacement on Saturday of this past week.  My grandson was very excited to get the game which works fine in his DS.

This game was released before I actually had a Nintendo DS; after finally getting the right hardware I searched high and low and of course found it here. This game was worth the wait; the characters are great, I love the story, and the music is awesome, i'll be looking for the soundtrack! This game is a must play!!!

I knew this was going to be a port of the DS game.  I saw the screenies ( insert pun, here... ) showing top and bottom DS screens side-by-side, I just kind of assumed Square Enix would put in an option to fill the TV screen with one of them, and maybe a button to shuffle between them.  No such luck.  The best you can do is adjust the sizes, slightly, and juxtapose them.  Bad news for gamers with ancient eyes, and smaller TVs, like me.

I like this game a lot.  I like the quest system, the magic system, the upgrading, and crafting.  While I usually do my multiplayer RPGing on my PC, I was eagerly awaiting a chance to do something similar, on the Wii.  This may be where I was let down most of all.

I've played a number of online games now, enough to see a pattern of delayed response time, even with just myself and one other player.  It's not major, but it's enough to make walking across narrow ledges a chore.  Worst of all, it componds another problem...

Controls are simple, but everything else, inventory, status, and worst of all, quick chat, is meant to be accessed by touch on the DS.  Here, you must 'point and click', for lack of a better term, and it takes precious time to do so.  Offline, it's fairly do-able.  Online, it just slows things down, and this game plays fast.  Too fast for such an interface.

I can see how this game would shine on the DS.  By the same token, there's really nothing like it on the consoles.  You just have to know what you're getting.  As I said, I do like the game.  It is a lot of fun.  It's just that I expected a little more work from Square.  If this were an Atlus product...  or better yet, something closer to a Phantasy Star Online...  A guy can dream, right?

Recommended, but with reservations.

I ordered this so my grandson would be able to charge his DS when at my house, as he rarely remembered to carry his. It's saved us much stress to have an extra.

I looked forwar the opportunity to obtain this box. Due to Amazon I've got it, at last. I didn't open it yet. I'm awating special case for it. Cool.

Ever since I got the ds game, 100 All-Time Favorites...which I love, one of the 100 games is like this one, tho there are only 24 in it.  I guess it is a part of my brain I do not work much, but it is fun for me.

I have a DS and the DS has a cartridge part for Gameboy Advance games. I already have Pacman World 2 Mazes and I'm looking forward to getting the third from Amazon.
