Noisy and clunky, this scavenger hunt exploration game for the Nintendo DS is based on the Disney Channel television show Phineas and Ferb. As you explore an old theme park, you can choose to control either Phineas or Ferb, each with unique abilities. The goal is to collect the parts you need to unlock levels and build inventions. These include a roller coaster and a muddy monster truck track, along with various gadgets and minigames. The game also includes D-Gamer, Disney's online community designed to let you share high scores, share Phineas and Ferb-themed accessories, earn in-game honors and unlock more content. Developed by Altron for Disney Interactive Studios. Borrow it, if you like the show, otherwise pass.
