I've seen a lot of posts by people who obviously think the DSi isn't the next level of the DS.

The hardware upgrades and new features make it clear to me that this is the DS2. If Nintendo had merely added a couple features and made it slimmer I could understand why people would not consider this the DS2. The bigger screens, faster processors, and all the other new features mean that we will see new and more impressive games that would not have a chance of working on the DS and DSL. There is already a new Warioware download available for the DSi in Japan that demonstrates one of the many possible uses of the camera.

With every generation of Nintendo handheld some backwards compatibility is lost. The DSi no longer supports the GBA just as the original DS didn't support GB and GBC games.

DSi will have exclusive games that DS won't play. Games that use the camera.

Ps2- CoD series

Ps3- MoH Airborne

PsP-Medal of Honor

GBA-MoH Infiltrator

Xbox 360- CoD 5

PC- Company of Heroes

The frames per second of a game has NOTHING to do with what you see but with how it PLAYS. A game with a higher framerate will play much smoother than a lower framerate. You don't play TV so that is why it doesn't matter to have it so low. channtheman1

It has everything to do with what you see. Whether playing a game or watching TV you are watching interchangable frames, or if you like, images. Frames per second refers to how many of these frames, or images, are displayed within a single second. If something is running at 30fps, it is displaying 30 frames or images every second. This is what you see.

I don't have a clue what you mean when you say framerate is determined by how a game plays. As i've said, when you play a game you are watching interchangable images on a screen. That is no different to watching a TV show. The fact that you interact with a game does not effect how many frames, or images, your eyes will pick up in a single second. Of course a game with a higher frame rate will appear smoother. That's because with more frames you can display a smoother transformation between images. Animations become more detailed and fluid, and that's what you notice with your eyes when looking at the game. I don't know why TV programmes use fewer frames per second than modern games, but it probably has something to do with your own eyes only picking up around 30 frames per second themselves.

Although you may notice minute differences between a game running at 30fps and 60fps, you'd literally be kidding yourself if you said you noticed further improvements beyond that.

Sorry if this sounded like I was having a go at you. I'm really not. I'm merely pointing out what most other users have already done.

I'm quite surprised Lets Tap got an 8 - I'll have to get me that.

As for Edge's score for KZ2 I've never played the game but if I listen to everyone else it's got to be a solid 9.
