Enchanted

About

Princess Giselle must navigate New York City to reunite with Prince Edward after a magical mishap drops her from her fairy tale kingdom. This Nintendo DS adventure tasks players with solving puzzles and overcoming obstacles as Giselle interacts with real-world characters and confronts Queen Narissa’s schemes. The gameplay blends side-scrolling platforming with mini-games tied to the movie’s plot, requiring players to balance exploration with narrative progression. Classic Disney charm meets urban chaos as Giselle adjusts to life outside her animated world. The game captures the movie’s whimsical tone while emphasizing tactile controls suited for DS’s touchscreen. Puzzle design ranges from simple object collection to timing-based challenges, with occasional shifts to supporting characters like Nathaniel. Though not a critical darling, its faithful adaptation of the story and family-friendly difficulty made it a niche hit among younger audiences. The contrast between Andalasia’s magic and New York’s grit provides a fresh setting for Disney’s usual formula.

Storyline

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.
