Gameplay

The player adventures through Andalasia and New York City as Giselle, Prince Edward and Pip, each with their own style of gameplay.

As Giselle, the player uses the control pad to navigate through the game by performing cartwheels, climbing walls and swinging on bars. [1] By singing songs in different types of dresses, Giselle can affect her world in different ways. The player sings a song by tracing symbols that appear on the touch screen with the stylus. [1] The player can use the items collected throughout the game to create or enhance dresses or to create new materials. Using the stylus, the player mixes the required ingredients in the mixing barrel on the touch screen. [1] As the player meets new animals throughout the game, they can be summoned for help with tasks such as retrieving objects or distracting enemies.

As Edward, the player uses the stylus to interact with the surroundings, and to wield a sword to battle enemies. Success in a mini-game determines the power given to Edward in battle (higher attack, defense, health, or energy). Using the stylus, the player must perform the sword actions on the touch screen. [1] When Edward's energy bar is full, the player can use invulnerable slow motion attacks. [1] The player uses the stylus to control Edward's horse.

In a series of mini-games, the player uses the control pad and stylus to avoid obstacles and make it to the finish line while collecting items for Giselle.

Reception

IGN rated the game 6.5 out of 10. [2] The game is praised for its appeal to several audiences through the various types of gameplay, but criticized for its mediocre execution.
