Video Game Reviews of DS Lite Action Replay

Customer Review: Missing Features, Broken Product
Summary: 2 Stars

One of the major reasons to have an action replay is to backup your save files and modify them (in programs such as pokesav), sadly, this product is missing this feature, and it's not advertised anywhere on this page.
Another problem is this product only works on Windows XP and Vista (luckily I have a computer running XP, you might not be so lucky); No Mac support at all, and I'm not sure about Windows 7. The problem with the windows driver is that it regularly malfunctions. If you plug it into your computer one day, it may not recognize the computer. My AR started overheating when the computer didn't recognize it, but it luckily didn't damage my DS.

If you want to use cheat codes, get the AR Media Edition or the DSi version if you're using a DSi, they have better features.

Customer Review: Awesome but crashes games
Summary: 3 Stars

This is a great product- except for the fact that it can and will crash your game. It has great codes and they are all great and really help you win the game. Half the games would be really hard to beat without it. But, it crashed my Animal Crossing Wild World game once and New Super Mario Bros too many times to count as well as Mario Kart. It works well, but don't get too dependent on it, as it may and probably will crash when you need it the most (About to defeat the game, main boss, etc etc...) So be warned it is good, and actually works really well until u get too dependent on it when it fails u.

Customer Review: DS cheats enabled
Summary: 3 Stars

The kids both have one of these gadgets and they use them often. It allows them to access many cheat codes on many games. The mario kart and pokemon series gain many benefits from this tool. I have noticed that the card fits better into some DS's than it does in others. Occasionally there are errors that come out of the unit but not too bad. There is a USB dongle that is used to update the software from a computer. This is a must have for the game upgrade to work correctly. All in all a good bargain and two keep the kids from fighting over them. :)

Customer Review: Worth the price, but definitely not plug and play
Summary: 4 Stars

My son is very happy with this product. It does come preloaded with 'cheats', but only a couple per game and mostly for the older games. To delete the codes for the games he doesn't have, he (meaning my husband) needed to load the software onto the PC and remove each code individually. Then it could be loaded with more codes (can't do it before because its preloaded to capacity). In short, its worth the money, but be prepared to help your child get it going.
