Touchmaster for Nintendo DS Review
Touchmaster for Nintendo DS has 23 games to play that utilize the touch screen capability of the Nintendo DS. The games include cards, skill, and puzzle games. The variety offers a good amount of depth of play, although some games get boring fast. The variety, however, does keep it fun for a while and a good fall back when bored.
The card games include Target 21, 3 Peak Deluxe, Go Wild, Phoenix 13, Triple Elevens, Uplift, Solitaire Classic, Power Cells, and Double Take. I am not much into the card games, but then again I rarely like playing single player card games. It is a decent variety including some more unique games for those that like card games, though.
The skill games include Pond King Checkers, Artifact, Hot Hoops, 5 Star Generals, Pick Up 6, Trivia, and Word Search. I like this category more than the card game category, as I love trivia games of all types. I also like playing Word Search.
The puzzle games section is my favorite, as puzzle games are my favorite thing to play on the Nintendo DS. The games include Crystal Balls, Mahki, Pairs, Times Square, Mah Jong Pairs, Gem Slide, and Wordz. Wordz is one of the more fun ones in my opinion, as it is kind of like Wheel of Fortune. I also really like playing the Mah Jong game.
This game can be multiplayer. A few can be done with on DS, such as checkers. It seems like you can play over WiFi connections, as well, but everytime I tried I gave up because it never found opponent.
Overall I enjoyed playing this game. It has a lot to offer to entertain. I did not buy it, but I have added it to my listed of potential games to buy to play during my road trip next summer.
