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.

This game stinks

This game was not fun for my teenage son at all. He thought it was a waste of money and has not picked it up since the first day.

I heard all the hype on this game from several different game stores and other sources so i thought id buy it and try it out. Bad Choice. This has got to be the dumbest game ever released. It is highly over rated and very short. After about 10 minutes of playing it I was ready to break out an atari and play pong. Thats about how much fun it is. I wont be surprised to find it in a clearance section of wal mart very soon.

Not worth it!!!

I loved playing Feel the Magic when I got it and love the look to it. So lets see, colorfull, neat, exciting, creative and most of all...frusterating! As I played on, the game got more and more difficult into levels that surpass anything worthwhile. I mean, this game takes hours to beat a single, 5 minute game. dont waste your time like i did, just chill out and wait for the good title...'till then...owning mario 64 as ur only game is better than blowing 30 bucks on this. but i still like it...i just can't stant it! lol.

Frustrating

Today, I went to the local gamestop and traded in my SP, a DVD, and a GameCube game. I made $44, and used $31 of it to buy this game. I haven't completed it yet, but I'm on stage 13 and have spent about 4 hours playing it.

RATING

This title is rated T for Teen, but so far I haven't seen much innapropriate content except for a scene of your character looking at the girl's behind, and the girl making a few, er, suggestive sounds. If you're a parent, I'd buy this for any kid 10 or up. Anyone younger, I think you still could buy it for them, just turn off the volume and it should be fine.

FUN

This game is instantly addicting. However, many minigames are so difficult that younger ones may be more than a tad frustrated, and the older ones might even get even more frustrated. Many of the "scenes" make you unicycle across a narrow path, like stage 13. I've been working on that scene for over an hour!

REPLAY

A few of these, like Yaht, have high replay value and will make you go into Memories again and again to play it. Sadly, few of these are like this. Many you will play once and never want to touch again.

GRAPHICS

They are crisp and imaginitive. They aren't really 3D most of the time, but aren't exactly Paper Mario style, if you know what I mean. They are nice, don't get me wrong; I personally like them.

COST

This game is only $30, $5-$10 less than a few other DS titles. Not any more than a newly released Game Boy Advance game, so not a bad price at all.

COMPARISON TO OTHER TITLES

So far, I only have Metroid Prime: Hunters; First Hunt (comes bundled with the Nintendo DS), Super Mario 64 DS, and this game. Let's compare them so that you can tell which one of these is best for your money

FEEL THE MAGIC VS METROID; M = METROID; F = FEEL THE MAGIC
Cost:
M= Free with the NDS
F= $29.99 + tax
Graphics:
M= Full 3D, comparable to the Nintendo Gamecube.
F= True minigame style; not exactly 3D but way better than GBA mini game graphics.
Length of Game:
M= It's a demo! Morph Ball is 30 seconds, survivor is boring, and the normal training is 10 minutes. Haven't had a chance to play multiplayer yet. After 5+ times, it's very boring. Doesn't keep you occupied for too long.
F= Will take at LEAST 5-10 hours to complete, plus you probably will want to play through it again. However, many games are terrible in replayability, so some people will not pick it up again.
GOOD OL' FUN
M= Short and "training" doesn't exactly suggest fun either.
F= Frustrating at times, but highly addicting. B-

WINNER:
Feel the Magic

FEEL THE MAGIC VS SUPER MARIO 64 DS; F = FEEL THE MAGIC M = SUPER MARIO 64 DS
Cost:
M= $29.99 + tax
F= $29.99 + tax
Graphics:
M= About Nintendo 64 quality, maybe a little better.
F= True minigame style; not exactly 3D but way better than GBA mini game graphics.
Length of Game:
M= Wholy cow! 150 stars to collect?! If you finish it, it'll take a good long while.
F= Will take at LEAST 5-10 hours to complete, plus you probably will want to play through it again. However, many games are terrible in replayability, so some people will not pick it up again.
GOOD OL' FUN
M= Gets old, but will renew its "fun-ness" with time. If it gets boring, put it away for a week
F= Frustrating at times, but highly addicting. B-

WINNER:
Super Mario 64 DS

In conclusion to this review, Feel the Magic is an addicting game I'd recommend for anyone ages 10 up. It gets very frustrating at times but a few of the minigames manage to make this game worth the thirty bucks. I wouldn't reccomend it as your first Nintendo DS game, but if you have $30 to spend and see it on the shelf of your local game store, it's definitely worth a buy.

Interesting game that uses many DS features

The graphics on this game are the best feature - they aren't realistic, but very trippy. The game play is not so strong. While it is mostly fun, it is simply a series of mini-games strung together with a story. The music is excellent but becomes repetitive. An ex. of the mini games: scream into the DS microphone for what seems like forever to get a girls attention; blow into the microphone to make a sailboat move across the water (cooler than it sounds); Rub goldfish out of a man's stomach; tap scorpions off of the girl as she makes suggestive sounds (not for public play as people will wonder what you are watching). If you like the idea of mini-games then this might be perfect for you. Don't believe it has much replay value, but there are a lot of levels and they do get very difficult.

Fun in a box for a cheap price, how can ya go wrong?

Generally over the course of the Nintendo DS's cycle so far, some games have almost tacked-on touch controls as if they realized "oh yeah, this is the DS isn't it? We should add something." Feel the Magic essentially allows you to use the touch screen exclusively and even its microphone and while it probably isn't the deepest game to play, it's sure fun, albeit very short inexpensive fun.

Story: You play a member of some kind of bunny gang who meets a gorgeous girl. You decide to do whatever you can to win her heart. But don't think winning her heart is it as you also have to tend with nature baddies as well as jealous ex's or just really weird guys.

Graphics: They're not exactly showing off the DS but they're quirky, colorful. The graphics also shift to whatever minigame you have to play. The top screen becomes a road you speed down to catch in one game, while in another you might have to swat scorpions off your lady's back. Again it's not technically outstanding but at least you're not going the entire time "god these are ugly."

Sound/Music: Catchy if repetitive music but that's probably expected with this kind of game. There's also the occasional sound bytes such as your woman saying the level out loud ("Plants" or "Scorpion"). The characters though have some pretty hilarious voices such as the saboteurs in the "Painter" game.

The game is essentially one minigame after another. Beating the minigame nets you...I don't know what they're called, heart points? Basically you have to get 100 and beating the minigame gets you a certain amount. Lose the minigame and it'll go down but strangely, there's no game over. You just essentially keep re-trying until you get up to 100. After that it's on to the next scene and a new set of minigames.

The minigames themselves range from fun to quirky to in some cases, outright frustrating. They range from gathering people on your roof and firing them at a getaway van(super fun), to unicycling over tightrope(tense but not hard), knocking stampeding bulls out of the way(kind of fun) to frustrating. One such example was blowing into the microphone so my sailboat can go towards my woman who was in the ocean filled with circling sharks. It's relatively easy but it's so sensitive that I wasn't even breathing and I completely bypassed her. Other games, especially near the end, will probably make you feel like breaking your machine.

Is it a game you'll be playing 2 weeks later like the game won't end a la Final Fantasy III? Or maybe a game with massive replay like Mario Kart? Doubt it but it's fun while it lasts. And hey, it only costs me 10$.

Ohh laa laa

Okay! This game was questionable at first. I really don't know what to say about this game! Either you like it or you don't. I personally found it kinda annoying. The game could have a better title and cover art on the box. In my opinion, there is not too much replay value on this game, go get WarioWare Touched instead.
