But even with the bells and whistles the developers try to throw into this virtual recreation, it just doesn't match the fun of the actual mechanical classic, something that players can exert themselves over for a few quarters and move on. It's not nearly enough action, nor is it fun or addictive enough to sustain a 30 dollar price tag.
5.5 Presentation
A surprising amount of work went into a clearly budget and quick-cycle DS project, but don't expect an overwhelming experience...it's simple.
6.0 Graphics
Nice visuals and animation, though the background graphics work against the puzzle option.
7.0 Sound
The soundtrack has some variety and some tunes are toe-tappingly catchy.
5.5 Gameplay
It's just a whole lot of screen tapping, and it gets old. The addition of a puzzle mode changes things up a bit, as does the multiplayer competition, but mostly this isn't all that fulfilling.
4.0 Lasting Appeal
The fun doesn't last because of the stale and repetitive design. Bettering your high score and playing against other people will extend playtime, but not much.
5.0 OVERALL
