Xia-Xia for the Nintendo DS is a VERY cute game and easy to play. The game itself is quite easy to navigate and there are a variety of options for play while exploring many different nautical worlds. My kids really enjoyed the option to change and mix up the different shells with their favorite Xia-Xia crab character. 


During the nautical fact finding mission they like uncovering and discovering lots of secret rewards. My kids have decided that the game is entertaining and look forward to completing each of the 25 different levels. Should definitely keep them busy!

ace and friends thoughts

*A* loves the Cake Mania series and was happy to hear that another Cake Mania game was coming out for the Nintendo DS platform. Some of past characters from previous versions of Cake Mania are still present in Cake Mania {Main Street} like Baby Cupid, the Cat Lady and the Vampire. In addition to past characters there has been an introduction of new characters like the short-tempered Pirate. Although there were new character introductions, *A* still favored the Vampire. She found that character to be most memorable and entertaining. The graphics are consistent with previous Cake Mania games and overall, are pretty good.

Cake Mania {Main Street} retails for $19.99, it is worth the investment, and there is the option to purchase various upgrades. It definitely kept *A* busy creating for quite some time.

This games is recommended for ages: E10+, but children 6 and older can play this game with ease and virtually no supervision is necessary.

*A's* Cake Mania {Main Street} Game Rating: Two Thumbs up!
