Brief: Hmm…this game looks to have some simple graphics but some parts of it does have better graphics. The gameplay is aimed at very small kids level but I have the feelings that older kids would like this game too. Hope there are not too much talking which you can’t skip. I hate these kind of talking which serves to prolong the game.

Feel the Magic / The Rub Rabbits

Filed Under (NDS) by abubin on 08-08-2008

Tagged Under : , ,

Brief: This is a double posting of one of those strangest games on NDS. Good games it is too. The concept is so refreshing and it can only be done with NDS. All the strange mini-games with better quality than Warioware. Both game basically have the same plot of a guy going after a girl of his dream. The music also is very wacky and nice. Sound effects is fantastic. All in all, both game are equally fantastic and had high production values. Definitely one of the must for any NDS owner.

Descriptions:
Feel the Magic
Feel the Magic: XY/XX is played solely with the stylus and microphone, and features a voice recognition system through both speaking and breathing. It is composed of several minigames that are loosely linked, as the player tries to impress the girl.

There are three main modes of play. Story mode is the main mode which contains the minigames in each chapter with three levels of difficulty, ‘Normal’, ‘Hard’, and ‘Hell’. Memories is a gameplay mode where one can play any of the previous minigames previously beaten. Stars can be collected in Memories, that can unlock certain pieces of clothing. The third mode, Maniac, is where one is able to take all the articles of clothing earned during the game to dress up the girl.

The Rub Rabbits!
The Rub Rabbits! features an all-new protagonist, love interest and female villain. As in the original Feel The Magic: XY/XX, the protagonist sees the love interest in passing, and instantly becomes smitten by her. However, 11 other men also develop an interest in her at the same time, and the hero has to compete with the other men to gain her attention.

At one point early on in the game, the hero lends a hand to another girl who is inconvenienced by the rush of men chasing after the love interest. Even though this was just a brief, chance encounter, the female antagonist becomes instantly infatuated with the hero, and begins doing everything in her power to steal him away for herself. Her efforts include brainwashing the other men to continue interfering, building various robotic creatures to try to separate the lovers, kidnapping the hero, and poisoning the girl. In the end, the protagonist foils all of her plans and rescues his friends.

After the credits, it is revealed that the hero of the game becomes the leader of the Rub Rabbits, with the other men becoming the members of the troupe.

Advance Wars: Days Of Ruin [U] - iND

Filed Under (NDS) by abubin on 05-08-2008

Brief: Advance Wars: Days of Ruin (also known as Advance Wars: Dark Conflict) is the follow-up to Advance Wars series. The second game on the NDS console if not mistaken. I like Advance Wars a lot. I have played the first in Gameboy and followed it up to NDS and now Days of Ruin. The problem is, this particular game ruins (no puns intended) everything for me. It is the weakest of all Advance Wars games. They tried to move the game away from the Orange Star, Blue Moon, Green Earth, Yellow Comet and Black Hole world and characters but it actually did more harm than good. The simplified gaming system (without super powers) ruined it for me. I love those super powers as it add more into the strategy element. They even waited too long into the game before you get CO powers. I didn’t last long enough to get those CO powers as my interest ran out long ago. Still, a lot of people are raving about this game and it’s new approach. So, you just need to decide it for yourself whether it stood up to Advance Wars series.

Descriptions: After a cataclysmic meteor strike exterminates 90% of the population, the survivors must battle barbarians, disease, and strongmen who seek only to secure their own power.

Advance Wars has been reinvented. Set amidst a world in chaos and featuring new characters and settings, a gritty look, an engaging storyline, and online Wi-Fi battles and map trading. Try you hand with new COs and units, realistic graphics, and a new environment.

Strategy fans will rejoice over the long-awaited inclusion of Wi-Fi play, which adds depth and re-playability. Use Nintendo WiFi Connection and battle against a friend halfway across the world, or use the map editor to create, trade and battle on your own custom maps.

  • Battle your way through a lengthy campaign through many twists and turns of a highly engrossing storyline.
  • Exchange friend codes with a close circle of military geniuses, then declare war over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection on over 170 two-, three-, and four-player maps . You can communicate with each other using full voice chat!
  • Pit your skill against the world as you take on random players on over 170 maps. You can choose to fight against people of your own skill level or engage whoever dares try you!
  • Use the Touch Screen to design your own maps, controlling every aspect from troop placement to terrain features. Use the stylus to paint and create your perfect map, then link to a friend via local wireless communication or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and swap your topographical masterpieces.

Brief: Anyone who is a serious gamer would know what type of game Space Invaders is. It is one of the classic games most old folks (of gamers) would have played in the arcade during those days. This game has been done in every platform imaginable and every re-invention someone could come up with. Whatever the packaging or platform, it is still the Space Invaders we all know. I am not sure about you guys but for me, I never did like this game. I got bored after playing with this game for 5 minutes in the old Atari console. Since then I never did get to like it any more than the 5 minutes memory it gave me. Though I keep trying a lot of new iteration of this game, I still do not like it. I am sure there are a lot of fans of this game so, here is the release in NDS.

Descriptions: Space Invaders!! What else is there to describe? You must be living in a cave if you do not know what type of game Space Invaders is.

  • Futuristic, techno-inspired graphic design takes SPACE INVADERS presentation to new heights
  • Interactive, totally immersive sound scheme where sound effects are synchronised to match the beats of the music
  • Wide range of amazing new power-ups
  • Play a friend with Nintendo DS Wireless Play
  • Challenge other players with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
  • High-Score table supported by Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
  • Share the multiplayer fun from a single cart with DS Download Play
