Like several other reviewers, I bought this game because it reminded me of Zuma, but for several reason I just have not gotten addicted to magnetica. You can't lay on your back to play since one hand is always holding the stylus... and the quest playing mode is never ending so after you've flicked the colored balls for 10 minutes you begin to think, "so the point of this is... what?" I like to think I am pretty smart, but after a certain point into puzzle mode, I just COULD NOT solve the puzzles so I hit the "Ah, so what?" point and turned it off. I still play Zuma on my Ipod and love it and I enjoy Luxor 2 (which works the same way) but I just didn't get into Magnetica.

Really enjoy playing it. Fast paced is fun but it's nice to slow things down and do the puzzles. Glad I bought it.

Can't stop

I really enjoy this game. At the beginning it seem to be easy but after going to the higher stages it really keeps you interested

Don't overlook this addictive puzzler...

With tetris selling for 50 (+!) here on Amazon, I am amazed not many are picking up this unloved puzzle game. I brought my DS home for the holidays and my little sister, brother and father wanted nothing to do with tetris.. every time I turned around, it was Magnetica... 4 stars, one off for lack of wifi...

This game is highly addictive and alot of fun. Beware, before you know it you will be picking it up all the time to play and have a hard time putting it down. If you love puzzle games this game is perfect for you. The only complaint that I have is that there is no individual profiles so if more than one person plays you don't know who had the high score.

Frustrating yet fun!

This is the first game I bought when I bought my Nintendo DS. I bought it without looking at any reviews simply because it looked like a game I used to play in high school called "Zuma". Thankfully, it is very much like that game.

There are different ways to play Magnetica. I prefer to play the "quest" mode. Basically, in this game you have an area where different marbles come out of. Then there are "lines" of marbles with varying colors that come out. Sometimes there are two or more of the same colored marble next to each other. Other times there are different colored marbles next to each other. You must use the stylus to use the different marbles that pop up to get 3 or more of the same colors together. The goal is to get rid of the marbles before the marbles get to the end of the "line". It gets harder when there are 2, 3, and 4 lines of marbles coming out at the same time. And I have to say that I find myself getting frustrated when it comes to the harder levels.

This is a great puzzle game that my sister and I like to play. It's nice to see a more adult-themed game for the DS. I can see why this would be a difficult game for a child to play because it does get fast and frustrating. This is definitely a must-have DS game!

Even though all modes of the game can be completed in fairly short order, it is highly addictive nonetheless.

Fantastic Fun!

This game is absolutely addictive! In fact, it is hard to put away! Once you get started, you want to see just how many levels you can conquer! So many levels can satisfy anyone who wants a lot of diversity in one game. If you like puzzles, you will love this!
