Item Condition

Complete in box: the cartridge, the manual and the box, all original; anything beyond that is included only if you can see it in the photos. The photos are of the exact item you'll receive — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Every schoolyard has a pecking order, and in EA Playground for the Nintendo DS you start at the bottom of it. Wander a few connected corners of the playground, size up the other kids and challenge them to a game. Win, and tougher rivals start taking you seriously. Keep winning and you climb all the way to the top of recess.

Nine games make up the lineup: Dodgeball, RC Racers, Skate & Sketch, Spitballs, Hopscotch, Hoops, Kicks, Trampoline and Bug Hunt. Some are pure action, like the top-down, Micro Machines-style RC Racers that Cubed3 singled out as the highlight, while others test rhythm and memory, as Hopscotch does, or send you chasing butterflies while dodging bees. The DS hardware gets in on the fun too: you aim dodgeball throws by tapping an aim zone with the stylus, and in Spitballs you target rivals with the stylus and fire by blowing into the microphone or pressing a shoulder button.

Victories pay out in marbles, the playground's real currency, which you spend on collectible stickers from the self-proclaimed Sticker King. It is a clever little economy that turns a minigame collection into a scavenger hunt and gives every rematch something to play for.

Released in 2007 alongside a Wii version, EA Playground came from that late-2000s moment when EA was chasing the family audience Nintendo's hardware had opened up. On the DS it is a bright, breezy collection, quick to pick up and easy to hand to a younger player, that turns recess nostalgia into something you can carry in your pocket.
