Phineas and Ferb (Nintendo DS)

Phineas and Ferb (Nintendo DS)
Phineas and Ferb are rascally sorts. Thrown together as stepbrothers for what’s looking like a long, boring summer, the pair decide to bring a bit of excitement into their lives. To do this, they don’t go out and buy a Nintendo DS each so they can sit outside playing wirelessly together. Nope, they decide to start making crazy stuff out of everything and anything. Fans of the hit Disney cartoon should feel right at home with this game adaptation of Phineas and Ferb. The angular look of the show has been faithfully recreated to make viewers feel as if they’re stepping right into an episode. Gameplay revolves around heading out into the neighbourhood so Phineas can jump right into piles of scrap and collect the parts they need for their crazy inventions. Once you’ve got all the parts in place, it’ll be time to head home and start building. Building takes the form of mini games such as twisting your stylus to screw things together or following the patterns on screen to get some welding done. The result? Anything from a roller coaster running right from their backyard to the city to a colossal snow ride that’s dumped right out of a giant snowcone machine!
