Daniel X: The Ultimate Power
© 2010 THQ, Inc.
Based on the young adult book by James Patterson, this explore and fight game lets you jump into the book, and possess the power of creation in order to save the earth from aliens that are bent on destroying the Earth. The setting looks like an old factory with elevators, boxes, portals, and magical walls, and it is possible to change forms in order to achieve specific goals. There is minimal dialog; and a nice mix of action (fighting), exploring, logic puzzles and story. Up to four games can be saved. Made by Griptonite Games (A Foundation 9 Entertainment Studio) for THQ. All in all, this is a nice interactive extension of the book that won't disappoint the target audience.
$20, Nintendo DS
