Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force (Nintendo DS, 2008)

For those who have never heard of Club Penguin - it's Disney's virtual on-line community for kids where Penguin shaped avatars throw snowballs, make friends, play games (such as unloading fish from trucks - I kid you not), and hang out. There are also longer structured adventures such as spy missions with more involved puzzles and detective work. Lately there's a whole hierarchical game of becoming a Ninja with card based combat (but that's on-line, not in the DS game). The DS game has spy missions that include destroying robots, train special spy puffles (the puff ball pets of the Club Penguin world), and rescue other penguins in need (and harvest the prizes the grateful saved penguins give you). There's a wireless head to head mode, but we haven't tried that yet. All in all - a real winner. Our 6 year old son loves it, we play it together since he is still learning to read. Very Fun.

This game was for my 8 year old son. He loves it. I have not seen it while he is playing it but he raves about it.

I bought it because my son plays always online and I saw there was a DS game for Club Penquin. I think it's a reat game, it's fun and keeps them entertained for hours with clean and safe fun!!! They learn how to earn coins and then learn how to spend it, they lear that if they buy something, they have less money. They can buy pets, but they need to care for them, if they don't feed them, or won't let them rest, the pet will be too tired and won't play with them!!! It's a great way for them to learn responsabilities in a fun way. I love it and my kid loves it!!!

I bought this for a birthday gift for my daughter. It was what she absolutely wanted. She was thrilled to receive it but as all kids do it lasted for a short time and then she moved on. She still plays it occasionally. I was happy I was able to purchase this on ebay. Preowned games are an excellent way for instant gratification for less expense.

My son just love, he plays it all the time. Yesterday he told me that he found a code while he was playing it, this code allows him to unlock a secret room at clubpenguin.com
