Expensive games
Date of Review: Feb 11, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would buy again due to portability and it travels well.
We bought this unit for Christmas for our kids. We were able to get a package deal with the carrier pouch, wall charger, car charger, extra stylus, cleaning cloth and game holders along with one game for $129. This was a great deal and I would recommend getting the kit if you purchase this item... the pouch has been great and keeps everything handy and it travels well also! I was surprised that each individual game can run from $19.99 to $39.99 or even higher. Although the games have different levels and can be challenging the kids get bored quickly if they only have a couple games to play. I have heard that the Gameboy games also fit this unit which is helpful if someone had a Gameboy unit and then buys this more portable unit. Used games are also available through priceline, etc.
I would recommend buying this unit due to its portability and travel benefits. Some of the games can send a signal to other units for others to play against you. Although we have not been able to have this option work yet, I would assume it would be very neat to play with others if you are at a ballgame or other place where a child may get bored.
