Castle Of Magic 1.0.4 iPhone iPod Touch
Have you ever tried cutting a cake using a butter knife? Puncturing through layers of thick frosting and cake with a dull knife does more to make a mess than serve up clean slices. In the end it doesn't matter if you use a butter knife or sharp blade because cake is cake: it still tastes yummy. The controls don't fully cut it in Castle of Magic, yet that doesn't prevent this charming platform game from being scrumptious. (Nice metaphor - ed). Abduction and adventure await a brother and sister whose video game console goes kaput. With nothing better to do than look for trouble on the beach, the delinquent duo uncover a box containing a malevolent wizard. When the wizard kidnaps his sister and departs for a magical castle, you don the young boy's cape and wand and embark on a quest to rescue his sister.
The wizard's castle is organised into five distinct wings comprising three levels and a boss battle apiece. Beginning in the forested Green Labyrinth and ending in an out-of-this-world confrontation in Mysterious Space, you hop, skip, and jump through well over a dozen levels. Platforming challenges make up the bulk of play, though the need to deal with the occasional enemy demands a little action, too.
Castle of Magic makes the most of what's available in terms of control, plastering a set of virtual action buttons on the right side of the screen opposite a D-pad. The buttons respond admirably, but moving with the D-pad can be problematic. The game often incorrectly reads your input: a touch left on the D-pad often yields both left and down or simply moves you too far.
