CTR Review

This is the second title based on the Nickelodeon series, and the first for the Nintendo DS. In the game, players can play as all three of their favorite characters from the show—Drake, Josh, and Megan. The game follows the title characters as they prepare for and compete in the "Teen American Talent" competition at Belleview High. The game features guitar game play where players strum stings on the touch-screen with the stylus in order to help Drake win "best musical act". Players also help Josh perform magic tricks with the stylus to earn power-ups. Additional features include new weapons, such as a water gun and fire extinguisher, to battle bullies.
