A pleasant surprise this, an enjoyable Nintendo DS game based on an American TV show that many British kids won't have seen.

On TV young Carly hosts a fictional internet show from her cellar, like a cut-price Ant and Dec mixing wacky games with teen chat.

The game lets you join in several light-hearted “webisodes”, each with six mini-games that must be mastered before unlocking the next.

The dialogue is often inane, but the dozens of mini-games are funny and inventive, offer well-paced gameplay, and are worth repeat players.

The game is a treat for I Carly fans, but should appeal to other pre-teen girls too.
