My son got both the Wii and DS Dr Who games now...Yeah he is a big Dr Who fan,lol! He loves that sonic screwdriver and is really loving this game. He is so happy that the DS and Wii games aren't the same game. Plays the DS in the Car and gets home and plays the Wii one. A must buy for any Dr Who fan!

Now that we are the proud owners of both Doctor Who games, apart from reducing a lot of arguing over who's turn it is to play in our house, we can see the big difference between the two games. The first game for DS is a Professor Layton-style puzzle adventure which is suitable for older kids and the the Wii game is an actiongame more suited to younger kids - although there was a joke by the doctor in the first few minutes about the staff canteen in the space ship being closed which had me chuckling (and the kids looking at me like I was mad).
I think if your kids are older, in the 10-12 age group, they may find the Wii game a bit easy and I would recommend the DS game for them, but I think the Wii game is perfect for ages 7-9.

I find it amusing that so many grown up reviewers seem to be unhappy with this Doctor Who game. From the very first introduction it is obvious that the game is made for children. The graphics are not exactly state of the art but they are friendly and appealing, also appealing are the excellently scripted and delivered dailogue by the dotor and amy and the amusing, if somewhat repetitive things the robots say like "Take Cover!" and "Time for a cup of tea".
Zapping of the crystals, especially with the Sonic Screwdriver controller is particularly fun and I am hoping this will turn out to be a really immersive Doctor Who role playing game for my primary school age niece and nephew. I must say at first I was a little bemused by the 12+ rating but I am glad I took a chance on it, there is nothing that frightening here.. just cybermen and (allegedly) daleks. Looks like a great kids Christmas present to me.

Disappointed with this game as was my Grandson who is a massive Dr Who fan. Too many puzzles and not enough adventuring.

Region 2 only...
Well, little did I realize that the Wii people "patched" the game OS so that PAL and NTSC games can no longer be fooled into working on the "other" machine. Read more
