Adventure Dipped in Love and Music

Monday, September 29th, 2008

Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure is a musical role-playing game, based on the theme of love and friendship. The cute game has been brought to the Nintendo DS by NIS America, which is a subsidiary of Nippon Ichi. The game casts the player as a young girl named Cornet, who is in love with a prince. Cornet is a peasant girl and she is extremely infatuated with this prince, whom she has never actually seen but met in her dreams. Now, the “adventure factor” in this love tale is added as Cornet possesses special powers, which help her to rescue her prince charming from a wicked witch.

Cornet is not an ordinary girl. She is special because of her ability to communicate with puppets. That’s why she is accompanied by many dolls, including one named Kururu, in her journey to win the heart of her love. Kururu is both a doll and Cornet’s best friend, and he assists her throughout her adventure in the game. The gameplay proceeds further with the presence of a detailed map on the topmost screen, which serves as a guide to simplify the floor plans.

The best part of Rhapsody is its pleasing and charming presentation, which look amazing with the 2D sprites and colourful ambience.The game comes from the makers of Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, and the animation is very similar. This visual ecstasy is definitely enhanced by the sweet and melodious musical effects. The Japanese melodies are clear and engaging, adding up to the fun. So if you cannot wait to experience the thrill of stealing a handsome prince’s heart, quickly get Rhapsody to enter the world of Cornet.

Play as Prince Caspian on the DS Lite

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian have probably recently fired up you nearby multiplex cinema. And now Prince Caspian is firing up your Nintendo DS as well. The adored flick has turned into a gaming title which is available on our beloved DS as well.

In Narnia Prince Caspian you’ll be able to operate and control more than a dozen different characters. Some of the characters involved in that list include Trufflehunter the badger, Reepicheep the mouse and of course Prince Caspian himself. In Cronicles of Narnia - Prince Caspian, the prince is forced to hide in the outflying forest, where he fights alongside a motley crew of forest friends. Prince Caspian has fled his kingdom and the reason behind this is his uncle King Miraz who is trying to kill him. After escaping his uncle, Caspian begins his journey and meets fantastical creatures like badger, and dwarf along the way.

The most interesting phase of the game is the battles, especially since they bear close resemblance to Final Fantasy games. Friends or foe in the title can attack anytime and from anywhere until and unless their stamina bar is full. The graphics are also completely up to par. The title offers an interesting gaming experience for everyone, not just fans of the movie.
