Meet the mighty mushroom who puts the fun into fungi…

UK gamers are a rum old bunch.

Yet another version ofTomb Raider,FIFA,Gran Turismoor whatever FPS is currently doing the rounds.

To do so, you call upon your little mushroom pals who live inside you.

See what I mean about it being easier to play than describe?

Your own size depends on the amount of mushrooms you hold.

The mini-mushrooms do more than set your size.

By piling them one on top of the other you could create an impromptu ladder.

Docomodake DSis fun to play.

The graphics are fairly sparse without being bare, but they suit the game style very well.

Just because the DS can do more, it doesnt mean it should have to.

Trouble is, the overall game design couldve, and damned well shouldve, done more.

A resounding raspberry for this ridiculous, insane omission.

Thats not to sayBoing!

Docomodake DSisnt worth playing.

Its a fun game, especially for the younger gamer who might find its shallow skills curve more acceptable.

Its just that it couldve and indeed shouldve been a whole lot better.

So should you go Japanese and buy it instead of your next platformer, driving game or first-person shooter?
