  1. Once again, PopCap proves that it can create great games regardless of the console, and Bookworm DS is an excellent choice to add to your handheld gaming library.
  2. A classic puzzler, but it's a shame it lacks the features of other versions of the game. [Christmas 2010, p.92]
  3. Anyone looking to flex their vocabulary will certainly find a good time in Bookworm, although missing fun features hurts the longevity somewhat - if you want a fleshed-out version then wait a week for the retail release.

    Bookworm is simply perfect for DSiWare. Fun to play in short bursts, but fiendishly addictive. There's isn't much meat to the simple DSiWare version, but for just over £4, it's hard to argue. Definately worth getting, and will keep you coming back...forever. Well, NEARLY forever. Expand
