With the release of the new Nintendo DS, Feel the Magic: XY/XX was one of the few launch titles, which surprisingly, is very fun. I can’t explain the innovation put into this game. It puts very good use of the capabilities of the DS. Even for a rushed title, SEGA did a great job. Makes you wonder what the DS is capable of in the near future. To excite your expectations more, you play Feel the Magic with ONLY the touch screen. So try not to lose that stylus of yours. The game consists of only mini-games, which are each very unique. From tapping goldfish up someone’s throat, to blowing on the touch screen to make a boat sail, you’ll definitely have fun playing. Though, some can get very tedious, as you’ll need to be either very quick, or very steady. There is a story included, which lets you play in the role of an average guy that runs into a girl, of which he quickly falls in love with. A group called “The Rub Rabbits” invites the guy into their club, which they will try and help him get the girl of his dreams. That’s where the crazy mini-games come in, making you do many things just to impress her. You’ll have a heart meter, which will go up every time you complete a mini-game. Once you get the meter filled to 100, you will move on to the next scene. There are also a couple of boss battles included, so be prepared. The graphics are pretty decent. The game roughly takes place around the 60’s. The game has a highly colorful visual to it. The character’s skin doesn’t show, they are covered by a dark shadow. Though, you still get to see the clothes they have, in color. The music in the game is OK. It gets very annoying at times. Though, it does go well with the whole theme of the game. Almost every mini-game you play, you’ll most likely hear “Rub it!” shouted, which is pretty funny. The replay value is pretty decent. After finishing Story Mode once, you’ll unlock Hard Mode, then Hell Mode. You can also replay your favorite mini-games in Memory. Should keep you busy for awhile. Overall, this is the most innovative game of 2004. Heck, it’s one of the most innovative games ever. Very unique in its own way, especially with use of the touch screen. Every DS owner should give this game a try, it’s a MUST experience.
