This is a good game for the casual gamers like me . I'm 55 an just like to unwind with a game ( not get all jazzed up ) so this game is OK . I would like to be able to turn off the timer on the games, as I play and watch TV at the same time, but with this game you can't . Overall it's a good value .

I had gotten this for myself for a variety of games in one package. Then my wife and kids discovered it and they are all hooked on it. I never got to play it again. We ended up getting two more for the kids so my wife and I could share the original one!

5 minute games

I enjoyed this game along with my kids quite a bit. We had 1 problem... the directions aren't very clear so it takes a few times of trying the games to figure out how to play each one. These games are for people who want to play a quick game. Each game takes around 5 minutes to play (though you can play it over and over). If you want a game that has a lot of levels and you can work to build your score higher and higher this game is not for you. Some of the games your scores can get bigger but there are others that only have a few levels to play. Overall I recommend this game.

GREAT GAME!

I received this game for Christmas. I love this game, it's highly entertaining and hard to put down!

Nice variety of games, but needs detailed instructions!

Bottom line up front: This is a undoubtedly a wonderful cartridge if you're already familiar with lots of different types of games. But if you're like me and don't have a lot of gaming experience, you're probably going to have issues with many of the games on this cartridge due to lack of detailed instructions.

I've had this game for a couple months now, and I will admit it's been the cartridge most often in my NDS Lite lately. In fact, I play one or more of the games almost every night before I go to bed. But I have a major issue with the thing, and it's this: If you don't already know how to play all the games (or games similar to them), you're not going to be able to enjoy them all without a LOT of trial, error and wasted time.

The problem is that (in my opinion) the games are not all intuitive, and there are not enough instructions for each game. Quite possibly I'm an idiot, but one or two sentences in the booklet and *?* menu in each game just isn't enough to allow me to play every game well enough to be satisfied that I'm getting my time and money's worth. It's kind of like getting a new cell phone without an instruction manual: if you've had a cell phone before, you can figure out some of the intuitive functions, but if you really want to get the most out of your phone and service provider, you need the manual!

As a result, there are only a handful of Touchmaster games -- maybe a dozen -- that I feel confident I'm playing pretty well. So those are usually the only ones I play, with occasional forays into the rest of the games. But when I do try the other games, I frequently get frustrated because I don't know or understand all the rules/objectives and don't have the patience (or the time!) to spend hours figuring them out for myself. So I head back to my well-known dozen. I'm happy with those games, but I wish I could play the others, too -- WITHOUT having to spend hours trying to figure them out.

All this could be fixed easily by a booklet that provides at least a paragraph of instructions for each game. Or -- maybe this is too obvious -- build more instructions into the individual games!

basic but fun

this game has seriously unimpressive graphics, the music and sound effects are cheesy, but the games themselves are fun and addictive enough it doesn't matter. if you enjoy playing games like solitaire and tetris on the computer, this gives you similar games to play in the car, on the couch, or in bed. a few of the games (power cell cards and to a lesser extent mahyong) can be hard to play because the pictures get so small on the DS screen.

TouchMaster DS is GREAT!

This is a great game for the DS. I bought this for my wife, and she loves it. This is also the game to have if you want an instant collection; 23 games on one disc, how cool is that?

This is a great game!

I am an adult and I bought this game for me. The Nintendo DS has been a new addition to my down time hobbies. I am more interested in the learning games, but I needed a break from all the seriousness and so I got Touchmaster and I am not disappointed. There are a few games that are pretty juvenile, but for the most part, there is something for everyone! The only draw back is that the directions for some of the games are so vague that you have to figure them out on your own. There is not a more detailed manual that comes with the game that explains the objectives and directions. Other than that, I am very pleased.

Lot's of entertainment!

I really have enjoyed this game, as it has so much variety. Even the games I thought I would not care for, I found to be strangely addictive. Great fun while waiting for the oil to be changed in your car! Definite keeper.

Saturated!
