I am an adult. My 10 year old likes video games. I played this game on my (also adult, childless) brother's DS on a long boring car trip. A week later I purchased it, and a DS to play it on. My first personal indulgence in years. This game is fun, fast, and neverending, because you can always do better. According to my son, I could purchase other games for my DS (hint,hint)but so far, I dont need to.
