GamesRadar writes: "The last thing you'd expect to see from a kids' cartoon spinoff series that already has several videogame incarnations under its belt is something new. But that's what you get from Code Lyoko: Fall of XANA. This DS adventure has gone all-out on the game design, making for a more interesting Code Lyoko game than your average TV show spinoff.
The bulk of the game is a turn-based RPG model with the main cast of the show - Ulrich, Odd Della, Aelita, and Yumi - as your party. Combat takes place in Lyoko (the digital world) where the computer virus XANA and her minions lurk. Outside the digital world, Fall of XANA plays like a point-and-click adventure game - players move through the school grounds and tap the stylus on people to talk to or things to activate. This is the "story" part of the game where there's a lot of talking and tons of plot exposition. The developers decided to factor that out of primary gameplay by separating it from the plot (what you do in the game), so you can choose to go get the details on what you're doing - or just go on into Lyoko and do it."
Code Lyoko is a French animated series that is broadcasted here in the US on Cartoon Network. Six months ago, in the middle of it's forth and final season, Cartoon Network decided to put the show on indefinite hiatus. While fans eagerly await the return of their five favorite boarding school students, Neko Entertainment has developed Code Lyoko: Fall Of X.A.N.A for the Nintendo DS.
Welcome to Lyoko. Or rather, the supercomputer that houses it. Online virtual realms are hardly a new thing, but there is one thing that makes this place stand out from all the Vana'diels and Azeroths of the world: Lyoko is real. Life exists on the other side of that computer screen, and it's not content with staying there; both good and evil beings have been secretly crossing over for years.
For those of you who have heard of the show, but never seen it then this title maybe worth the 30 bucks. For those that have placed the previous title or those not fans of RPGs you should hold off until this title drops $10 dollars or at least rent it first before you buy it.
Sony Balony...I LOVE the games that are coming for the xbox. They may not be 'system sellers' but they are Breakfast sellers.
No, no. Microsoft isn't worried about Blu-ray. They use digital downloads instead. Each X-Box Pro you own can hold almost half of a full Blu-ray disc's worth of data.
