Amazon.com Product Description
The wildly popular Disney Club Penguin online world moves to the Nintendo DS with their next installment, Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force. This fun game for all ages introduces kids to a host of brand new adventures in the Disney Club Penguin world, giving players a chance to complete secret agent missions, solve mysteries and connect with friends in exciting, uncharted ways.

As a covert agent in the Elite Penguin Force, you'll play many mini-games.

Kids will love flying around in a jet pack.

Seamlessly Move From the DS to the Web
Kids can earn coins while playing Elite Penguin Force on their Nintendo DS, and these coins will seamlessly transfer into their online accounts via a wireless connection. Players can embark on missions that use familiar and all-new gadgets, accessories, disguises, vehicles, and locations to investigate mysterious evens in the Disney Club Penguin world.

Secret Agent--Penguin?
The gameplay allows children to take on the role of a covert agent in the Elite Penguin Force and you'll complete top secret missions only available for the Nintendo DS. Your secret agent will tackle new mini-games, such as snowboarding and dance challenge, but old favorites, such as Cart Surfer, Jet Pack Adventure, and Ice Fishing, return with a twist. Although you might recognize the names of these mini-games, this version utilizes the DS stylus and unique dual-screen view for a whole new experience.

Online Interaction and Extras
Club Penguin for the Nintendo DS also includes Disney's DGamer, which allows kids to engage with other Disney gameplayers in a secure online community. Players will be able to wireless connect with the virtual Club Penguin world using the DS to unlock special features and upload coins to their online penguin personas. Plus, you'll be able to create unique 3D avatars, create a persistent profile, chat with friends, share Club Penguin accessories, earn in-game honors, unlock exclusive Disney content, and even download new missions and weekly newsletters.

Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Forces bridges the gap between your kid's online Club Penguin world and the Nintendo DS, making it possible to have fun with Club Penguin at home or on the go.

Club Penguin rocks. November 30, 2008
Joshua G. Feldman (New York)

(parent & child co-review): I bought this for my 3rd grade son who has been doing Club Penguin on line for a year. He loves Club Penguin and also loves his Nintendo DS (indispensable for us parents on long trips). It was a no brainer for the Thanksgiving long plane trip. The game has the exact visual appearance and game play style of Club Penguin's spy missions. My son basically disappeared for hours with this (for better or for worse). He played for a 3 hour stretch on the plane coming home. That's direct evidence that this game has some serious game play value.

Ben's review:
"I think the game is very fun. When you get used to it, playing is more fun than you'd expect stepping down from the PC to a DS game. It is fun in lots of different ways 1) because you get to solve missions you don't see on the regular on line game. 2) You get to earn badges, get to wear stuff that helps you on your way. 3) You can help people for prizes. The code that comes with the DS game gets you 1500 coins and a spy phone for the on-line world."

For those who have never heard of Club Penguin - it's Disney's virtual on-line community for kids where Penguin shaped avatars throw snowballs, make friends, play games (such as unloading fish from trucks - I kid you not), and hang out. There are also longer structured adventures such as spy missions with more involved puzzles and detective work. Lately there's a whole hierarchical game of becoming a Ninja with card based combat (but that's on-line, not in the DS game). The DS game has spy missions that include destroying robots, train special spy puffles (the puff ball pets of the Club Penguin world), and rescue other penguins in need (and harvest the prizes the grateful saved penguins give you). There's a wireless head to head mode, but we haven't tried that yet. All in all - a real winner.
