Tangled DS Video Game Review

tangled-box-art

By Divina To go along with the fantastic Tangled Movie, Disney's Tangled: The Videogame allows you to play as Rapunzel as you follow the movie's adventure as you make your way to the Festival of Lights.  The game is available for Nintendo DS and Wii.  I got a chance to review the DS game ($29.99) which divided the game into ten chapters.  The ten chapters had several mini games like collecting sun drops, matching Pascal's colors, puzzle slides and other activities.  The mini games were really cute and tied in perfectly with the movie themes. One game even has you brushing out leaves from Rapunzel's hair.  But don't worry if you have not seen the movie it's not a necessity to play and win.  The game did make me want to see the movie again.  ; )  You have to win the games to keep moving forward.  The game is rated E for everyone but your little princess is going to love playing the games.   The variety of games, the colors and entertainment fun makes this a great … [Read more...]

By Divina Readers, I won't lie to you.   I have never seen a full episode of "Wizards of Waverly Place" I don't like the premise of the three siblings, having to magically duke things out for a chance to keep their powers.  I also don't like that the Dad had to give up his powers because he wanted to marry the love of his life a non magical person but obviously I am in the minority as the show is a big hit for Disney and they have come out with a video game...back to the game review.  ; ) Based on the wildly popular Disney Channel television series, Disney Interactive Studios' brings you Wizards of Waverly Place: Spellbound game which allows players to play as Justin, Alex or Max as you hunt for a missing dress before a big fashion show.  You have to solve puzzles and use your entire wizard in training skills like freezing objects and turning people into hamsters to find that dress. The game was cute and how else in life are you ever going to turn people into … [Read more...]

Blog: Disney Interactive Studios Bloggers Night

By Divina Well Readers, once again, Dancing hotdogs got invited to another bloggers night by the lovely Maral.  (We love Maral and are happy she is enjoying her new job!)  She always throws the best bloggers night! Eddy was working late that night so he could not make the event.  Playing video games just does not appeal to me.  We have a Wii and a Playstation2 and I NEVER go on them. So I brought along my 12 year old sister to get the tween perspective on the games.  Boy, am I glad I did because to her total delight we got to try out Disney Sing It, Ultimate Band and a whole bunch of other fun games. So please don't judge me since I never claimed to be an expert in video games! Wii Ultimate Band: This game, I have to say was a lot of fun.  We have Guitar Hero at home and while I don't play that but this seemed a lot easier.  Good news parents, you don't need to buy a fake instrument along with the $50 game but instead use the actual Wii Controllers. With the … [Read more...]
