Feel the Magic / Nintendo DS : 5 of 5
9.17.2005 5:15 PM \| Link	Yes, I plan on playing other games with my DS besides Nintendogs! In fact, one of the reasons I decided to get a DS is because the machine has more of a Japanese "attitude" to it, with more creative and bizarre games (which are usually cuter and sillier) than the other handhelds. Anyway, Feel the Magic is a perfect example. You play a guy who wants to impress a beautiful girl, so he joins a group called the Rub Rabbits so he can do all sorts of weird things to get her attention. It starts with goldfish swallowing, and goes on to unicycle chases, fighting giant man-eating plants, spray-painting graffiti, and even tender moments like swatting scorpions of the girl's bikini-clad body! All of these mini-games are played with the touch-screen (which is so much more fun than buttons for me), and they keep progressing until the grand finale where you administer CPR (which includes "blowing" on the screen, since the built-in microphone can pickup the wind!) to save your true love. This is the first game that I've finished in a long time - I just had to play it every night to keep progressing (and I definitely got stuck a few times!). The graphics are very stylish, with everyone portrayed in silhouette (except for their colorful clothes), and the music and sounds are awesome (especially the cute girl voice announcing things like "Break time!" in an adorable Japanese accent). Of course, I'll get the sequel as soon as it hits the shelves! Labels: games
