The title will probably appeal much more to younger audiences who will appreciate its sheer variety. This could make a pretty good gift to a younger gamer wanting something on his/her DS to offer up a lot of potential and gameplay variety. I really think a lot of kids will enjoy this game for its multitude of game types, but older audiences will likely find it to be a little rough around the edges or boring".
Nintendo Life - One hundred and one games. It's a tempting proposition isn't it? It's unlikely that as an average consumer you will play, let alone purchase, one hundred and one games in a whole year, so when Nordcurrent comes a-knockin' at your door and offers you exactly that many titles for the low, low price of 700 Points, you'd be forgiven for thinking it's a Billy Bargain.
Atlus, a publisher known for its role-playing games-a genre not easily embraced by beginners has taken a stab or two at handheld puzzle games and do so again with their latest offering called 101 in 1: Explosive Megamix for the Nintendo DS.

Each game can be played individually on a single Nintendo DS, and if you have a friend with a DS system and a copy of the game, you can play against each other via a local wireless connection. Though most of the games are easily learned via trial-and-error, you can read a text description of each from the menu screen, including details on how to play the game".
