Enchanted
Based on the 2007 Walt Disney Pictures film of the same name, ‘Enchanted’ for
the Nintendo DS has the player embark on an epic quest with Princess Giselle
in order to find her true love, Prince Edward.
After an evil hag shoves Giselle down a wishing well, she winds up from her
animated paradise in Andalasia to the bustling streets of New York City in the
real world. After rushing through several unhelpful citizens of the Big Apple,
Giselle comes across a divorce attorney named Robert, who reluctantly takes
her to his apartment, while his daughter Morgan is delighted to have a
princess on board. Meanwhile, Queen Narissa (stepmother of Prince Edward),
fearful that Giselle will assume her place to the royal throne, is desperate
to put an end to the fair princess once and for all, bringing her bumbling
servant Nathaniel in the process.
The player controls Giselle in an open-world environment using the directional
buttons to make her run in the desired directions, the A button to perform
cartwheels and B to jump. Throughout the game, Giselle will need the help of
her Andalasian animal friends to progress through several obstacles, such as
using the unicorn to break open locked doors, or even using the bear to
activate switches scattered around.
The Nintendo DS stylus is used for a variety of functions such as picking up
items, scrubbing dusty areas, drawing shapes on the Touch Screen to activate
Song Stages and so on.
Giselle also has a total of 6 different dresses at her disposal that grant her
special abilities (such as the Light Blue Dress which allows her to walk
across water for a limited time). These dresses can be upgraded at any time,
allowing Giselle to use their powers for a much longer time period.
Players can also collect Raw Materials scattered throughout the game and can
trade them with each other by the use of DS Wireless Communications (via the
Main Menu).
As part of the story, players also control Prince Edward in the same open-
world manner as Giselle in his search, as well as her chipmunk friend Pip in
mini sub-quests in the completion of each chapter.
