America’s Favorite Crab Crustaceans: Xia-Xia are Headed to Nintendo DS™ (review)


Xia-Xia is the newest tiny toy craze to sweep the kids we all know and loves life this year! They are sold pretty much everywhere, and they are super cute. Giana has been wanting one, but we don't actually own one yet. When we got the opportunity to review this game, we jumped at the chance. I knew Giana would be tickled pink, and she was. She tore into the game like it was Christmas day with a huge grin and immediately put it in her DS XL and played for a long time. I played with her and she showed me how you have to "swim" through the levels collecting treasures along the way.  Giana had this to say about the game:


" I liked earning new shells and really liked finding the tiny rare things. The game was not too hard, but not too easy. I got to choose which hermit crab I played with and I even got to customize it and dress it too! There were about 6 levels and they all had different scenes .. or backgrounds. If I find all the sand dollars I get to collect shells. I had about 4 I think.  It was super easy to make the hermit crab swim, but you have to learn how to jump the different platforms and swim upwards, but that didn't take too long to figure out.  I liked the game a lot and I can't wait to play it again!!!  "
