Reviews of the Nintendo DS Lite (polar white)
-
CNET Review
The Good: The Nintendo DS Lite is slimmer and much sleeker that the original DS. The device employs innovative dual-screen and microphone-enabled gameplay as well as Wi-Fi multiplayer capabilities, allowing for a growing list of original and fun games that you can't play on any other system. In addition, the system is backward-compatible with almost every GBA title. All these additions come without increasing the price or decreasing the features of the original DS.
The Bad: Playing online games via Wi-Fi can be a hassle. The darker models are just as susceptible to scratches and smudges as the Sony PSP and the iPod, and its multimedia potential remains exclusive to Japan.
The Bottom Line: With a slick new design, brighter screens, and a growing library of fun and innovative games, the Nintendo DS Lite is an impressive improvement over the original DS.

Review Summary: On the plus side the Clam-shell design, despite the potential weakness of the hinge, does provide excellent protection for the screens when the device is thrown to the bottom of a child's bag or is scattered on the back-seat of the car

Review Summary: Nintendo's clunky handheld has matured into something far more svelte. A real alternative to PSP that's no longer just for kids
