The illustrated manual gives good descriptions of each game, and there is an easily accessable help screen which tells you how to play. The stylus controls are pretty intuitive and the screens are quite legible. While the games are lightweight, there is enough to do in each to keep you busy, especially if you are tired and don't want to put in much effort. When you get tired of one, just go on to the next - there's enough to do here to keep you going on a transcontinental flight.

Some of the games can be played by two players using the WiFi feature of the DS.

Fun Factor: Lots of variety.
Player Friendly: Help for every game
