Disney's American Dragon: Jake Long - Attack of the Dark Dragon

About

Disney's American Dragon Jake Long Attack of the Dark Dragon is a beat 'em up action game for Nintendo DS. You play as Jake a teenager who fights enemies in five different worlds across 20+ levels. The core gameplay involves punching kicking and using special moves like tail swipes and fire breath after transforming into a dragon. The 3D stylized levels let you fly and fight with up to three others in local wireless multiplayer. What sets this apart is the blend of brawler mechanics with dragon powers that add variety to combat. The wireless co-op mode was a fresh feature for 2006 DS games though it requires physical proximity to work. While the story follows a standard hero rescues damsel formula the fast paced battles and simple controls make it a solid pick for quick sessions. Critics noted the game felt a bit rushed compared to bigger budget brawlers but fans of the Disney show found the setting and characters familiar.
