Gaming on the Nintendo DS

Club Penguin is a community website type game.  I only played it once when my cousins showed it to me about a year ago.  I really do not know enough about the website to compare it to the game, but I do know that playing the game without and account is not the same as on the site because you have no interaction with others.

The game allows you to connect to have interaction, I think, through the WiFi DS connection.  I did not try this because I do not have a Club Penguin account.  The one connection with your actual account and the game I did figure out is you can upload your coins from the game to your website account.

Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force is mostly a mission adventure game.  It is kind of fun at first and I found some interesting mini games.  As soon as I got into the first mission, though, it quickly turned darn near impossible and I got stuck in a room.  I spent at least half an hour trying to figure out how to get out and then gave up.  This game seems like it should be for the younger crowd, but getting so frustrated so early on makes this a game I would not recommend.

I love penguins.  The graphics are pretty interesting.  The mini games are mostly fun.  The interactiveness with the website is cool.  Basically it is an awesome game concept, but the extreme difficulty on the first mission made me turn the DS off and quickly mail it back.  Maybe it turns easy and fun again after that part, but what is the point if I could not figure it out.
