We have covered most of the upcoming DS titles that will be available for the DS system. One of the strangest games is also the one that is getting a lot of attention. Feel The Magic is not a dating sim as some may think. Instead it looks like it’s going to be another hit game following in the footsteps of Space Channel 5 and a few other games that where hits and wacky as this one is going to be.
In the game you are an average Joe who sees the girl of his dreams and sets off to woe her. Now I know what you’re thinking it sounds like a dating sim already. Well, lets just say the game is made up of several wacky mini games. Just look at a few of the names of the episodes the game will feature. Wash her, Seeker, and “Candle” scenario just to mention a few. The game will not push the DS system but will feature a new slick style that fits this game. Gamers will also get a chance to use the microphone option to control some of the games “Episodes” or mini games if you want to call them that. For example in the “Candle” scenario players can use the mike to complete this one. Simply by breathing the right way or blowing into the mike will create a brand new way of controlling the game.
If this sounds crazy I think Sega is going for a game that is going to be so different that it will be hip to own this one. The slick graphics and the sounds and music all fit the same style of the overall game. Will Feel The Magic be a hit? If I knew the answer to that I would be a rich person by buying stock in the right companies. One thing is for sure “FTM” is going to be a game like you have never seen before. Just take a look at the screen shots and you can see that they are going for that slick style. The game hits stores this week right near the launch date, which is less than a week away. To simply call this game different is like calling Monty Python just another comedy group.
It’s going to shake people up and will certainly make those around the screen take a second look and is meant to be this way. This one will not be for everyone. However, it’s nice to see Sega trying something bold and new for the DS System. Story: The game’s hero has a sunny beauty on his mind, and he’s doing everything he can to score a date with her. He enlists the help of the Rub Rabbits – a suave gang of super performers who wear plastic, members-only rabbit ears – to help him get her attention. Through a series of madcap performances like defending himself from bulls and blowing out giant candles, our hero manages to impress the girl. When he finally takes her out, the craziness really begins: a rival suddenly appears and a dark cloud is cast over their love. Will he ever be able to feel the magic of true love? Press: Feel the Magic: XY/XX is a quirky, action-packed adventure that offers an innovative experience through new methods of play. Leveraging the unique technology offered by the DS hardware, Feel the Magic: XY/XX challenges gamers to use the touch screen and microphone, switching between stylus, their voice, and even their breath to control character action. |
