The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
SCORE: 46
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice on the Nintendo
DS has sat around in a pile of hand held video games to get to for some
time now here at Family Friendly Gaming. No one here was very interested
in playing The Sorcerer’s Apprentice on the DS. We all had the opinion
it would most likely be pretty lame. We were scraping the bottom of the
barrel and I decided to pick up The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to play.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is worse than I thought it would be. The
Sorcerer’s Apprentice is obviously a quick cash grab on the movie
license. The movie was pretty lame too. At least this Nintendo DS game
did not outshine the movie. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice contains Story
Mode, Pass the DS, Options, Achievements, and DGamer. I did not try
DGamer because I figure it is gone now.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice does not impress me with the graphics. The
characters look nothing like the ones from the movie. That is main game
play and the cut scenes. The bland boring graphics hurt The Sorcerer’s
Apprentice on so many levels. I noticed things were graphically
repeating. So did the enemies which is another problem for the next
paragraph.
What do we do in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice? We kill this one kind of
monster, then another kind, then another kind; and finally we move to
another area to repeat the process. As we progress in The Sorcerer’s
Apprentice there are new enemies to fight. We still have to destroy the
first set before getting to the next set. I was bored out of my mind
playing The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
To make matters worse The Sorcerer’s Apprentice has a horrible moving
bar to where we will attack. Magic, wizards, sorcerers and Merlin are
all over The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. We upgrade by battling all the
monsters we have seen thus far in the game. Multiple times too. There is
a long distance between saves. I had no idea how much progress I would
lose each time I stopped playing. Do not buy this game.
