Bolt
About the Game
The DS version of Bolt is different from the main console and PC version . It is also a 3D action game and just like the other version, it does not follow the events of the movie but instead focuses on the fictional TV series that is set inside the film. players need to complete different missions for the show, controlling Bolt (who gets the main focus) and/or Penny. The TV series focuses on the evil character Mr. Calico who has kidnapped Penny's dad and attempts to destroy Earth with missiles.
Gameplay & Core Systems
The game is played in 3D, but generally there is always a linear progression to the right, while characters can move around in any direction in the environment during fights. Bolt uses attacks and different superpowers such as a sonic bark to attack. Penny has a Wheelbar to fight and she can also use it to zip along edges and scale buildings. By beating opponents, it is possible to collect energy bits that are used to level up and access improved abilities and new combos by spending them in three areas: damage, armor, and energy expense (Bolt)/Wheelbar speed (Penny). Characters attack and jump using buttons and the touch screen is used for special attacks, which are unique to each character.
