Great game, bad press

If you are looking for an adventure game with some fun activities, then this game is for you. Do not be fooled by the cover, this game is fun! You are trying to impress a girl, and you have to make the guy do different things on the screen. There is a story interwoven with mini games. You must do so well in the games to move on through the story. If you complete the minigame in story mode, it is sent to memory mode and the minigame becomes twice as long. You earn stars in memory mode for minigames you complete successfully. These stars earn you outfits for the maniac mode, which is a mode of a model who wears the outfits you unlock. Even for girls this game would be fun, because playing the guy to impress the girl is just the way the game is. The girls would love the outfits to dress the model up in maniac mode. This game is worth the money at retail value. While it doesnt have the depth the mario games have, it employs the touch screen, microphone, and sound for a game that uses the capabilities of the Nintedo ds. Have fun!

Perfect for mobility

Adding to the other reviews, I will just say that this is the game that I play the most on my DS. Why? because of what I said in the title. The game is easy to pick up and leave, gameplay is intuitive, and except for a couple of microphone missions, you only need the stylus to play. Not only that, but when you're done you can play any of the completed minigames as many times as you wish. It's like having a portable PC full of java games. If you intend to play for more than a few minutes something like mario would better, but you can't beat this game for a quick gaming fix.

The animation is both comical and charming, and the graphics fluid and pleasant to the eye. The game keeps its own original style all the way trough both the story and minigames. The music is definitely different. It's enjoyable and catchy, but some more variety would have been welcome.

As for educational value, like a previous reviewer said this game requires a lot of hand-eye coordination, so kids get to develop those skills as well. For a young kid, though, I think warioware would be more entertaining. The most educational thing about this game is, however, the big warning sign at the beginning telling kids not to try any of the stunts at home.

I don't really think I have been both weirded out and entertained by a game since I played Parappa on the playstation. This is definitely a must-have game if you like using the stylus.

Fun, unique game

I bought three DS games the day I purchased my DS: Spider-Man 2, Mario 64 and Feel the Magic XY/XX. Of the three games, Feel the Magic is the one that best showcases the kind of madcap fun that the DS can bring to gamers. Basically FTM is a collection of mini-games where you use your voice and the touch-screen to impress the girl of your dreams by acting out weird, Jackass-style stunts. I play this game during my lunch breaks at work, and it's very, very hard to put down!

Touch Me Baby!

In a day and age that is saturated with handhelds that can do everything but cook an egg, Nintendo has stayed true to features and add-on solely for the purpose of giving us a greater gaming experience. In Sega's first venture for the DS, Feel the Magic: XY/XX (the male/female gene symbols), Sega goes far and beyond any other DS launch title in fully utilizing the systems very unique game play options. From blowing into the mic to blow out a candle to using your finger to rub the screen clean for oncoming grocery cart racing men, Feel the Magic sucks you in with left field antics and fun mini-games based around convincing a beautiful woman to give you a second look. You, as a potential suitor, join a performance team called the Rub Rabbits in an attempt to prove your manhood through crazy innovative mini-games. I give this DS launch title a perfect score for many reasons. The two most obvious are the fun factor and the ingenious use of the DS features. Now go forth and prove your manhood!

One of the best DS games out there.

At, first this game seems wierd....and it is. But that doesn't mean it isn't great. This game uses every part of the DS system, but the buttons. The missions range in anything from spray-painting a wall with the touch screen to blowing out a giant candle with the DS' microphone. The story mode is wierd and fun, but pretty short. However, once you complete it you are treated to new costumes for your character's girlfriend as well hard and hell modes. I have beaten this game 100% and i know that it is one of the funnest, most re-playable DS games in existence.

Like WarioWare: Touched!, except sucky

Sounded like an interesting concept, but the mini-games are somewhat ridiculous, and the graphics are very uninteresting. Managed to be amusing for about 15 minutes, and I would probably only ever play it again if I was REALLY bored.

Great Fun, Poor Value

Luckily you can play through this game quickly. The fun is replaying the mini-games, and some of them are VERY out there. Definitely not for children (one of the games is helping a girl out of her clothes (in silhouette , but still...)

Fun Fun, but not terribly satisfying.

Change the Name!!

I think that people will get a negative connotation (obviously) with a name like "Feel the Magic: XY/XX." But in all, it's just a fun game full of minigames that should be fine with most children above 12.

Though there are a few... PG-13 moments... like one part where you must clean the girl off by 'rubbing' her. and there's also a section were you can 'touch' the girl... you paint the rest.

It's frustrating at times, but it's overall a great game. Go for it!

I really don't like this game

Not only do I hate the animation style and the fact that it's nothing but a bunch of mini-games put together but when you fail at whatever task and have to start again it takes too long.

Yes, the animation looks good from a technical point of view but all people appear in silhouette. I don't feel any connection to the so-called 'story' because I am basically playing with what appears to be shop window mannequins. And the music is annoying as hell too.

The focus of this game seems to concentrate far too much on how to incorporate the features of the Nintendo DS into the gameplay rather than making the gameplay any good, or bearable. Sega and Sonic Team should be ashamed for making a game this bland and bad. They should have spent the time and money on something much better.

slightly addictive

First of all, this game was not sexual or inappropriate in any way. The game consists of you (a male) playing mini games to try and get the girl of your dreams.

The mini games are fun and I found it hard to stop playing unless I couldn't beat something and got frustrated (some are pretty difficult). Though I do wish they had come up with more mini games and a longer story because the game is relatively short and they repeat some of the games.

The whole game looks like a comic book - I really like the way they did it because it's different. I also enjoy the cute little songs that they play.

This game is definitely worth the money! Check out that low price!
