If you haven't read our Wii coverage on Ivy the Kiwi? yet, I strongly suggest you do. Essentially, Ivy the Kiwi? DS is no different from the Wii version aside from how you control it, and even that is mostly the same.

As you should now know (because you already read our Wii coverage, right!?) players control Ivy by drawing vines. In the Wii version, players must click a button and drag the vine out, similar to using a mouse on a computer. The DS version is similar except players touch the screen with the stylus, and drag the vine around from there. Pull the stylus from the screen, and the second point on the vine attaches. It all feels very natural, and it works extremely well with the DS interface.

Coincidentally, all of the same things said about the Wii game apply here. It's extremely fun, plays smoothly given the input, and looks great with its new color change.

Again, Ivy the Kiwi? is coming to America this August courtesy of XSEED. Whether you grab the Wii or the DS version, you're in for a treat, just choose whichever you think you'll enjoy controlling more.
