    With amazing graphics and a control scheme you've never seen before, this $20 DS game is a no brainer!

    Big Bang Mini is a great addition to the DS. With over 90 levels, great visuals and some excellent gameplay, this title will keep you hooked for a long time, and at the end of the day what more can you ask for than that?

    The touch screen shooting and dodging controls feel great, and over 90 levels the game always has a new trick up its sleeve. On top of that, there are fun multiplayer modes and a no-fail "relax" mode where you can just enjoy the fireworks display.

    Talk about full-featured-Big Bang Mini is a $19.99 package that is hard to pass up.

    Big Bang Mini comes together nicely with a great combination of simple yet addicting gameplay, innovative design, catchy music, great production value and unbelievable price point.

    If you've got massive amounts of patience and skill you might enjoy this game, but we're talking the kind of patience and skill required to solve Rubik's cubes in the dark and balance marbles on tightropes.

Shumps are all suppose to be hard, they are suppose to take practice and this game is no different. If you have never played a shump this will be a challenge while if you have, the first few levels will offer no challenge let you get used to the controls. As you progress though the worlds the game gets tough even for the most experienced players. A simple game play with a 9 gorgeous worlds that all look completely different.… Expand

    The immense style of this game alone makes it one of the best games on the DS.

    Shame Arkedo stopped developing for DS. I love their graphics designer(s). Great game overall.
