Metos Disney Magic Review.

2008-07-05
I bought this game for my mother who is 60 and loves Disney and puzzle games. It is a bit challenging to figure out some of the games. Once you get the hang of it, they are fun. The Disney theme is what sets it apart. With so many DS game choices, you go with what appeals to you. If Disney is your thing and you like puzzles this is it. It's tough enough that you won't solve every level right away, which gives it staying power. Not for younger kids, I'd say 7 / 8 and up based on difficulty.

Challenging

I really like that this game is Disney themed. It makes it fun to see all your favorite Disney characters on the screens. I find the variety of games and modes very fun and challenging. I play my favorites over and over and don't get bored. I wish there was a way to unlock the levels player by player - but overall, a good game. My 6 year old daughter enjoys playing simple mode. Hours of entertainment!

Fun game--for kids AND adults!

I bought this game because the cover reminded me a little of Tetris. I'm 33, have two kids and love to play video games! I think this game is a lot of fun--definitely worth what I paid ($14.99). If you're looking for a fun challenge for you and your children, this is the game for you!!

Awesome game

I really like this game. It makes me feel more balanced because you can move vertical as well as horizontal while in the original Meteos you can only move vertical. I prefer this much more over the original Meteos. The graphics are great and so is the music. It really makes you feel like you're a little kid again at Disneyland.

Small change in play makes a big difference

If you are a fan of the original Meteos, this takes the basic play mechanic of moving blocks up and down and also ads horizontal movement. You'd think this would make the game easier, but as the game ramps up in difficulty, you are forced to think fast on your feet.

Most of the game gets unlocked pretty quickly, but the game modes ramp up in difficulty quite a bit quicker than the original. I've yet to get through the hard mode, let alone expert mode, even though I've unlocked everything on the original.

I thought they would love it, wrong

Meteos: Disney Magic is the follow-up to the critically-acclaimed Meteos, now featuring beloved Disney brands. It's an original story in the classic Disney universe: Help Jiminy Cricket and Tinkerbell re-organize the famous Disney storybook vault after someone changed the stories around. Piece together three or more Disney-themed blocks with the Nintendo DS stylus; create puzzle patterns by launching them from the touch screen, while interacting with great Disney characters. The sequel to Meteos, one of the most critically acclaimed and popular games for the Nintendo DS

Great game!

Not as fun as the first meteos

This is a good version of Meteos, but if you can find the first one or already own it DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.

the original meteos is way better

I got the original meteos game for a friends birthday, later I decided to get it for me but it was sold out in walmart and ebgames so I took the easy way out and bought the disney magic meteos. I regret this!!!! unlike the original disney has levels to beat, instead of just unlocking items. These levels are SHORT and get hard fast. There is hardly anything to unlock and the story stinks. With the original you will never get stuck. Don't be lazy and take the easy way out by the original because the original deserves 5 stars

eh

I have been trying to round out my DS collection with the best games out there. I just purchased the original meteos after reading glowing reviews on every review site imaginable. Everything I read gushed at how addictive and fun Meteos is. I am a huge fan of puzzle games so I decided to get it. After a few days of play, I came out very dissappointed. The point to Meteos is to drag pieces to connect groups of three. You may only drag vertically but can form groups either horizontally or vertically. Half the time you are dragging, you ignite Meteos you werent aware you were trying to connect.

So I tried an experiment. Frustrated, I quickly ran the stylus up and down without even looking at what I was doing. I immediately began making matches and clearing my screen.

This game is overrated by far, and the pieces fall so fast, keeping up is easy at first but impossible to be concious of creating groups of three, they just happen by accident.....

I'm going to get Tetris DS instead
