"the actual DS cart ... is not the game, it is the tool. The game is out there, and by out there I mean the actual away-from-the-internet world, with your DS just the conduit that makes the magic happen. ... the game is constantly and aggressively trying to push you back into the real world, to abandon your usual routine routes and further explore -- and to work socially to identify which places around you offer the best bits of kit (ie. "the Starbucks on Main Street gives you a wicked space helmet") -- and making a game out of life itself is precisely, in the end, just what makes it such a rare and valuable gem." - Roo Reynolds
