Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Fun touchscreen games, innovative title with originality.

Weakness: Gets repetitive and boring after first run, relatively short, Some of the bosses are unoriginal.

This was the game that actaually convinced me to get the DS. So right when I got my DS I instnatly bought this game. It was very fun at first and quite original and has it's own unique sense of style. But after beating it, I found very little reason to try the harder levels. The game itself will provide around 5 hours of entertainment at most to most people. Some of the games are fun while some...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Great use of the touchscreen, and even the mic to some extent, original and innovative, catchy music

Weakness: Not a game you'd replay a lot, can get repetitive, rather short

This game is very fun and easy to get into. The music is simple, yet addictive. The graphics are retro, vibrant and beautiful, yet elegantly simple. All the people are silhouettes, sporting clothes, but not showing their face. The story is about a guy who has to win the heart of a girl, and faces some very unique and bizarre challenges along the way, from stopping stampeding bulls, to sneaking...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Excellent demonstration of the Nintendo DS's capabilities; funny story, catchy music, and cool artwork, and lots of replay opportunity

Weakness: Some games exhibit weak execution; main game is short

This one was one of the first titles I picked up for my new Nintendo DS and I absolutely loved it. The theme is perhaps preposterous -- impress a girl by performing zany stunts -- but the story, told mostly through comic-style panels and in a cool silhouette art style, makes it work in a touching and funny way. The games are mostly good, and all driven with either the touch screen or the mic....

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Great use of the touchscreen and microphone, unlockable clothes for your "girlfriend", Awesome fun (while it lasts)

Weakness: Some mini games repetitive, pretty short, after you've completed it there's little replayability

Every system has to have a game that showcases its abilities. We all knpw that graphics is not the DS forte. The graphics are good but not as good as the PSP. But it does have two screens/ one of which is a touchscreen, and a microphone. Well, Feel the Magic (FTM) is the game that makes you realize this is more than a gimmick. Right away from the strange story premise and stylish graphics...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Charming, fun, and varied. A great game to show off the system.

Weakness: First time through the game is on the short side, although replay value is high.

Back when Nintendo first announced the DS, with its two screens and innovative methods of control, they were met with a bit of skepticism. Is a touch screen really necessary? Can the microphone or the second screen be used as anything more than a gimmick? What can be done with these features that can't be done on any other system? But what gamers didn't immediately know is that the folks behind...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Quirky humor, great sound effects and music.

Weakness: Does not utilize the DS controls to their fullest potential.

This is one of the first games that released with the DS. It's really not a bad piece of software for coming out of the gate so soon. The programmers really tried to vary up the scenarios in which you use the DS microphone to blow into (to snuff out candles, for instance) or use the stylus in various novel ways (e.g. sliding and poking). At times the scenarios can get frustrating to the point...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Fun goofy mini games, attractive graphic style, very simple story yet very charming

Weakness: Short, bosses are a tad too hard and long compared to other mini games, one mini game is the touch screen equivelent to fast button mashing (I hate fast button mashing)

I find this game very charming. I also find it very short, but I loved it so much I played the other difficulties until I found it too hard. The game involves your character winning the heart of the girl of his dreams through various wacky mini games. (You know, fighting bulls, blowing out giant monster candles, riding shopping carts. The usual stuff that girls are impressed by.) Mind you, this...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Unique look, sound and gameplay, good use of touch screen.

Weakness: Too short, low replay.

Feel the Magic is like one of those unique and quirky games that are made in Japan but are never released stateside. But now with Nintendo DS's dual screen and innovative touch screen, more of these intersting games should see worldwide release and I couldn't be happier. The game makes you go through a whole bunch of interesting tasks in order to impress the girl. The use of touchscreen is...

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: Uses all the features of the DS, different difficulty levels, unlockables

Weakness: Graphics, short game

I think this is the launch game for DS that really uses all of the features. It uses the touch screen and the microphone in the different minigames. There are different difficulty levels and there are also things to unlock. It's a nice game if you want to try something different that you can only find on Nintendo DS.

Feel the Magic: XY/XX

Strengths: The use of the touch screen, simple but effective graphics and great variety of gameplay.

Weakness: Weird story line and the music is annoying.

This is another must have for the DS. The use of the touch screen is fun and unique. This is a game that anyone can pick up and play. The game is rather short, but so much fun, you will play it againa nd again. I love Sega for putting out "weird" titles, like they did on the Dreamcast. I feel games like this, seperate the DS from the PSP.
