    "A COMPLETE waste of my money"

    by mholzworth1 on February 20, 2006

    Pros: The "remix" idea is kinda cool

    Cons: MUSt use touch screen and use of both screens is aggravating

    Summary: I bought this game for the DS thinking FINALLY a "DS" game that I will have fun with instead of always having to play my favorite Advance SP games on my DS.

    Unfortunately for me, this was not the case. They force you to use the stylus for every single game which is a nasty and hateful thing to do to their fans.

    As a matter of fact you MUST use the touch screen to navigate through the games etc, instead of being able to use the usual D-Pad and buttons approach.

    Then to add insult to injury they use both screens for every game and while for some it is "OK", for most of the games this really sucks.

    The idea of "remixing" the games with different looks was kind of cool, but that novelty wore off too quickly once the user interface for the game play aggravated me so much that I put up the game for sale on eBay the very same day that I bought it.

    While Atari was on the right track to give us these games again, they and Nintendo really did a poor job in the final product.

    I hope to see this game on the PSP with a much nicer interface sometime soon!
