About

Enchanted is a video game for the Nintendo DS based on the Walt Disney Pictures' 2007 film Enchanted. In the animated fantasy kingdom of Andalasia, Giselle and Prince Edward are planning to be married. When Edward's evil stepmother tries to stop the marriage, Giselle is transported to New York City. Edward, along with Giselle's chipmunk, Pip, must rescue Giselle from the real world, while she meddles into the lives of an attorney, Robert, and his daughter, Morgan.

›Story

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.

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. 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. The player can use the items collected throughout the game to create or enhance dresses or to create new materials.
