Feel The Magic: XY/XX gets to heart of the Nintendo DS and shows how
touching is good, really good.
Features
• Gameplay takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS touch screen, dual
screen feature, and voice recognition system through both speaking and
breath
• Surreal, humor-driven story line with a romance twist
• Distinct, cutting-edge art style through the use of silhouette images.
• Unlockable features via Sega GBA games
SEGA’s Nintendo DS launch title is a quirky, highly stylized adventure
that’s packed with crazy events. Feel the Magic: XY/XX is exactly the
kind of visionary, high concept title that only Sonic Team and SEGA can
deliver. The game’s hero is doing everything he can to score a date with
a sunny beauty. He enlists the help of the Rub Rabbits – a suave gang of
super performers who wear plastic, members-only rabbit ears – to help
him get her attention. Through a series of madcap performances our hero
manages to impress the girl. When he finally takes her out, the
craziness really begins: a rival suddenly appears and a dark cloud is
cast over their love. Will he ever be able to feel the magic of true
love?
The game puts the unique hardware of the Nintendo DS to great use,
taking full advantage of both screens and the voice recognition system.
Throughout gameplay, players switch among the stylus, their voice, and
even their breath to control the main character.
To win the affection of the girl, our hero must impress her by
performing a series of stunts. Of course, he needs your help. Our hero
is faced with some of the quirkiest challenges around. When 100 bulls
rush toward the girl, you must tap every one to make sure they fall out
of the way. You will guide him as he tries to ride a unicycle across a
catwalk. You’ll blow into the built-in microphone to blow out candles
before they start a fire. And that’s only the tip of the Feel the
Magic’s wacky gameplay iceberg.
If the hip, stylized art and addictive touch-screen gameplay wasn’t
enough, you can unlock features for your beauty. Inserting certain
SonicTeam-produced GBA cartridges to unlock costumes and other cosmetic
features. Sonic Advance 3, Chu Chu Rocket and Sonic Battle are just a
few of the games that will unlock these special features.
Bottom Line
When a game is both innovative and fun, it’s a must-have on any list.
