Holding the DS vertically like a book you can turn pages simply by flicking the stylus across the touchscreen. Adults and children can read together and use the special in-built hyperlinks to access relevant pictures, sounds and character and location information.
Eagle-eyed kids can also search for special code notes hidden on each page - once they're all collected it's a race to decipher their meaning and unlock a whole two extra stories, as well as interviews with the author and Artemis Fowl himself. All kids love to read, this just helps them to enjoy the experience even more.
