One of my kids' favorite games ever.
The Bad: too easy for adults. generic and outdated platforming.
The Review: I'm suprised it took this long for them to make a DS game like this, but its about time they did. As you probably know, you get to draw your own hero, then play as that hero through 2D platforming levels. You also get to draw your weapons sometimes and obstacles in the level, like clouds, to help you get through. Well, the drawing mechanic works great, and the fact that you edit your character and even save up to 3 hero's per save file is really great. You can have a total of 2 save files too. There is a story to this game, and in between levels, you spend time briefly back at the village, but my kids mostly play this game, so I don't really know what the story is about, lol. The animations and background graphics are cute and nice here. This game reminds me alot of Super Princess Peach, and a little of Yoshi's Island, the way the 2D platforming works. As the GS review said, the actual level gameplay is really easy, generic, and provides nothing new to gaming. Only the making your own character part is new, which is enough to give this game a look, and I'm sure will be a hit for any children under the age of 10. The music is kiddy and Nintendo-ish, but probably more repetitive. The levels are not very linear, which is cool, but also pretty easy, which is also cool for young kids playing this game.
