Pop island is a cartoonish 3D capture the flag style game for all ages. It has two game modes, "Joyful" mode (Battle the other team for flags that are scattered across the map) and "Playful" mode. (Steal the other team's flag) There are 8 unlockable maps based off of planets in our solar system. There are also several playable characters with their own special abilities.

Unlocking New Content
To unlock characters and maps, you play the game, and at the end of each match, you recieve an amount of solar points based off of how well you did. After you reach a certain amount of points, new content is automatically unlocked. After all of the content is unlocked, the "Playful" game mode becomes available.

Gameplay
In the game, you capture flags and take them to your flag redemption point. The team with the most captures wins. You attack enemies with firecrackers which launch them away. They drop their flag in the process.

Graphics and Audio
Overall, the graphics were nice. The game was vibrant and colorful and the game runs smoothly. The game makes full use of the nintendo DSi's sound capabilities and plays an upbeat soundtrack throughout the game.

Overall
In conclusion, this game is excellent. It's fast paced, addictive, and fun. I recommend it to everyone.
