Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian - DS
Ages: Everyone

The Wii gives the player the feeling of being inside a vast and expansive museum: the DS is a simply a tight 2D side scroller. The museum characters are barely recognizable and the cut scenes are crude with hands that look like paper bags. There are six instead of nine icons Cloud - flying, Moon - floating, Scarab - shrinking, Bull - charging, Monkey - climbing and Elephant - strength. All are power ups to assist in the scrolling action. If you want a museum experience - Get the Wii version.

Fun Factor: Not much to do with the movie experience
Female Factor: It's Larry's show except for a cameo appearance of Amelia Earhart
Player Friendly: Map screen confusing but manual is OK.
